Stardate 2020 It's an election year for the Galactic Alliance, an unlikely coalition of alien races spanning across the Milky Way. But, with such a vast empire comes a plethora of controversial issues. Cosmocracy (formerly called "Galactic Debate") is a party game where players argue over randomized sci-fi topics in order to win the votes and become President of the Galaxy. It’s all about pandering and making up arguments on the spot to defend your stance. With over 1,500 combinations of cards you’ll never debate the same issue twice. How To Play Each player takes a Race card and its associated Candidate card. Two candidate cards are randomly drawn to debate against each other. Draw an Issue card. If there is a space labeled “Matter” draw a blue Matter card to fill in the blank. If there is a space labeled “Race” pick one of the races in play. The first candidate will choose to argue Pro or Con on the issue, and the second candidate must argue the opposite. Each candidate gets 30 seconds to defend his or her stance, making up silly facts and countering arguments with make-believe statistics.
