Quick answer

Use Cosmic Coasters as game tokens by placing coins on the four small round gameboards to represent ships and teleporters in a two-player space conquest game.

Why Cosmic Coasters work as game tokens

Cosmic Coasters are designed for fast, two-player interplanetary conquest. Each set includes four small round gameboards that double as token holders. The game uses coins as tokens, so you don't need extra pieces. This makes them a great addition to your tabletop gaming collection, especially if you enjoy space-themed board game accessories.

The compact size and sturdy material make them easy to transport and store. They also serve as drink coasters when not in use, adding versatility to your Looney Labs coasters.

How to use Cosmic Coasters as game tokens

  1. Set up the gameboards: Place the four round gameboards in a row or square between you and your opponent. Each player controls two boards: one as your home planet and one as an enemy planet you've teleported to. Ensure the boards are stable and not overlapping to avoid confusion during play.
  2. Choose your tokens: Use coins of different denominations or colors to represent your ships and teleporters. For example, pennies for ships and dimes for teleporters. Each player needs at least 10 coins. Avoid using coins that are too similar in size or color, as it can lead to mix-ups during fast turns.
  3. Play the game: On your turn, move a ship from your home board to an enemy board, then use the teleporter to beam back home. To win, you must wipe out all enemy ships on one of your boards. The first player to do so wins. Remember that teleportation is a one-way trip—you can only return home after conquering the enemy board.
  4. Store the coasters: After playing, stack the four gameboards together and store them in a dry place. They can also be used as regular drink coasters, so keep them accessible for both purposes. Avoid stacking them with wet coasters to prevent warping or damage.
