Cozmica

2–2 players · 30 min · 9+

Cozmica is a 2-player abstract strategy game. The theme of Cozmica is about relocating Earth life in DNA form, to a new world in the cosmos for survival. Both players sit on opposite sides of a 9 x 9 line grid board similar to a Go board. Each player receives either 18 black or 18 white “Go stone like” playing pieces (Bio-ships). Playing pieces are marked with either an Animal, Plant, or Microbe symbol. The pieces interact with each other similar to the mechanics of Rock, Paper, Scissors, i.e. Animals eat Plants, Plants absorb Microbes, and Microbes infect Animals. All pieces move the same way…1 or 2 places, Horizontally, Vertically or Diagonally. The objectives of the game are:

  1. Surround and capture opponents Bio-ships.
  2. Intercept and eliminate opponents Bio-ships.
  3. Cross your own Bio-ships to the other side and off the board.
  4. You acquire colonies by capturing opponents Bio-ships or crossing your own to the other side and off the board.
  5. To win the game, you must establish at least one colony. They may be mixed [your’s and/or your opponents as long as they form a colony. A colony is: 1 each of all 3 DNA types, 1 Animal, 1 Plant, 1 Microbe. Playing time is about 30 to 60 minutes.
