About the game
This small expansion introduces 6 "envoy" cards, each of which provides a special power. Similar to Alien cards in the base game, these cards are acquired by assigning a particular die to the card. However, unlike the Alien cards, the envoys provide a recurring power (once per turn) to the owning player. The envoy cards stay with a player until another player takes it away (by assigning the appropriate die). The 6 different cards are marked with the "blue" die, numbers 1-6, so players may only take these cards by assigning the blue die of the appropriate value.

Questions and answers
Cosmic Run: Envoy Expansion supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it.

The listed playing time for Cosmic Run: Envoy Expansion is 30–60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Cosmic Run: Envoy Expansion for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
