Stupid cayvie stole my stupid cards in CEIII and I'm really upset about it. I don't understand this game, I've never played IRL and it's too much of a pain to have to keep referring to that Cosmodex everytime I draw a card or anyone plays a card, I've screwed up the rules like a million times and I don't think I've taken a single colony yet.
TL;DR I'm pretty sure this game is not for me.
I really think it matches you though... But I can fully understand frustrating powers that just dominate. There is SO much wonderful variety, but it does cause some things to be unbalanced sometimes.
Don't get frustrated. Cosmic is supposed to be played as a beer and peanuts game. Very non-serious. Just enjoy the craziness of it, win or lose. I never used my power even a single time last game, because everybody ganged up against me, but I still had fun! Shrug it off and enjoy the "I can't believe that just happened!". It's supposed to be somewhat silly.
You should give it a second chance. It's certainly more fast-paced and enjoyable irl, but it converts surprisingly well. If Axxle will let me, I'll /in on this game as well, and play along with you, helping out where I can. I'll play a very Universe friendly role, trying to help everyone to win together. But you should definitely rejoin.
