Full publisher description

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!
