emdomicrocosm
The galaxy just got a whole lot smaller...
Two mighty empires are about to collide. Play your cards right and become the ultimate ruler of this microcosm!
Eminent Domain: Microcosm is a quick-playing two-player card game which brings you all the thrill of building a space empire in just 15-20 minutes. Each turn you take a card into your hand from the supply, then you either play a card and carry out its instructions, or pick up your discard pile to refill your hand. Each card also has a scoring condition on it, and to win you'll want to maximize those conditions.
As in the grandfather game Eminent Domain, actions you take can be "boosted" by revealing other cards sharing the same icon. Colonize and attack planets, do research, and take advantage of politics to score the most influence by the end of the game!

Regelsammendrag
Overview
Microcosm is a deck building game where the aim is to have more influence than your opponent at the end of the game. Influence can be earned by:
- • Owning colonies
- • Owning spoils
- • Owning capitals
- • Researching technologies
- • Collecting red, yellow, green or purple Domain cards, Colonies or Spoils
You score influence at the end of the game, determined by the scoring conditions you have managed to add to your deck and from the Colonies and Spoils that you own.
Player Area
As the game progresses, your player area in front of you, will comprise of:
- • Played Card: The current Domain card you have played and are resolving. Face up.
- • Colonies: Planets acquired by playing a Colonize action. Face down unless revealed. You can check all available colonies for reference on this image: https://boardgamegeek.com/image/2521243/eminent-domain-microcosm
- • Discards: Cards you have already played and resolved. Face up.
- • Spoils: Planets or Colonies won by successfully performing a Warfare action.
- • Technologies: Technologies that you have acquired. Face up
Game Play
You start the game without any cards in your hand and will gradually build your own deck of cards as the game progresses.
Each turn consists of 2 phases. Beginning with the starting player, take a turn to perform the following 2 phases:
Phase 1
Either take one of the 3 face up cards in the supply, replacing the taken card with the top card from the draw deck.
OR
If you don’t like what is available from the supply, then you may take the top card from the draw deck instead.
Phase 2
Play an action by placing a card from your hand in front of you and resolving the text on the card. Then place the card in your discard pile.
OR
Pick up some or all of the cards in your discard pile and put them into your hand.
(In Phase 2, when picking up discards you may pick up as many as you wish. You don't have to pick up the whole discard pile. There are some cards that are useful to leave in your discard pile.)
Game End
When the draw deck is exhausted, continue play without refilling the supply. After the last card is drawn from the supply, the active player finishes their turn and the game ends.
Scoring
Players collect all cards from their hands and discard piles (keep your colonies and spoils separate) and determine their Influence:
- • The Influence calculated from each scoring condition shown on your Domain cards
- • The Influence shown on any Colonies and Spoils owned
The sum of these is your final Influence score.
The player with the most influence wins. In the case of a tie, the player who played second wins.
