The CE Project: Introduction and Destiny Samples

One of my favorite games of all time is Cosmic Encounter. We played it almost every day when I was in college, and we still play it rather often ten years later. Unfortunately it's out of print and our Mayfair set is starting to wear down. While there is an online version, for my friends and I it's just not the same. ...

That will be the beginning of the page for the CE Project, where I'm following in the footsteps of many other CE fans by creating my own CE set from scratch. While I can't post the files, I plan to write up what I'm doing and how I got there as a guide for others who may be making their own CE set. I'd gladly include suggestions from others as well. (Right now I'm trying to decide how best to make tokens.)

Over the next few weeks I'll be posting samples of my redesigns for all of the different cards. I thought I'd kick it off by posting some of the color Destiny cards. I stuck to a simpler design with built-in features to prevent the "what color is this" issue with Blue and Light Blue, which we will keep using for Symbiote and six player games until I have new sets of tokens. Here's what I came up with: (click on a card for a larger version)

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet (Purple), Cyan (Light Blue), White, and blacK are all represented in my new destinies. Someday I'll dig out my Simply set and add Tan, Mint, Lavender, and Pink with their icons.

Next week: Special Destinies and more!
