Start for freeWhat to Expect
In Cosmail, you manage two planes and one ship, moving strategically across locations to collect merchandise while managing gas and coal resources. Players race to obtain gold by first gathering goods and then returning to their starting point. The game involves tactical route planning, resource management, and competition with other players to be the first to finish.
Who Is This Game For?
Cosmail is aimed at groups of 3 to 7 players who enjoy strategic economic games. It lacks a solo mode and requires patience for potentially long sessions. Prior experience with dice mechanics and resource collection is beneficial due to its complex interactions.
How It Works
Players move their planes and ship along routes where movement costs gas or coal. Resources are replenished by dice rolls or stopping at specific locations. Collecting merchandise cards and delivering them via ship is essential before earning gold. The first to return all units to their start wins. The mechanics include Dice Rolling, Point to Point Movement, and Set Collection.
