Sci-fi strategy game for 2-4 players. Objective: conquer the cosmos. Conceptual predecessor of many modern space wargames. Highly sought after by B.G.S.C. collectors / Italian Avalon Hill.
*Conditions and Completeness:*
The game is offered in vintage good condition and is *COMPLETE to 100%* after verification.
*Contents verified:*
1. *Game board:* Large color star map folding, front/back, cosmic illustration. Excellent condition, vivid colors, no writing, intact folds, no tears.

4. *Internal tray:* Original gray plastic tray with COSMONOS raised lettering, intact.
5. *Rules:* Italian rule booklet present.

*Notes for the collector:*
B.G.S.C. Italian Edition No.5 is considered one of the rarest in the series, much harder to find than Diplomacy. The version with the 4 extra languages on the lid is the first printing. Perfect for collection or to play.
It will be carefully packed with bubble wrap and reinforced box. Insured and trackable shipping from Italy.
