Official variants include rules for adding a seventh or eighth player, and there has been a version providing enough components for a ten-player game when combined with a previous release. The original version of Cosmic Encounter had exactly six alien powers and was designed for up to six players. This edition was nearly published by Parker Brothers in the mids; when it was not, the designers founded Eon Productions, Inc. The first Eon edition was released in It allowed up to four players and included fifteen alien powers. Over the next five years, Eon released nine expansions, adding sixty more alien powers, components for a fifth and sixth player, and several new types of pieces, including "Flare" cards, money Lucre , Moons, and special power planet systems. The artwork on these early editions included images painted by Dean Morrissey. Eon published three versions of the base game, differing only in box size and cover art. In , the game was republished in the U. The game used the same deck of cards and number of players, and the same powers with five additional powers from Eon expansion sets 1 and 2. However, the cards and tokens were incompatible with the Eon edition.
