About two weeks ago, I posted a message asking for new games that have
the same variety, complexity, and interest as Cosmic Encounter.  So far
I have gotten a few responses, and these have been amazingly consistent.
About 4 games were on almost all of the respondents' lists:
Illuminati (+ expansions sets)
Talisman (+ expansions sets)
Dune
Nuclear War/Nuclear Escalation

Other suggestions have included:
Junta
Acquire
Empire Builder

I want to thank the people who have responded so far, and I'd also like
to see more responses (boy, this net thing is great! the sheer bulk of
readers makes for quite an information bank..).

PS Something I forgot to mention in my first message:  we already have
all 9 expansion sets to CE.  (Speaking of which, I've heard a rumor that
a new version is coming out.  Can anyone verify or elaborate on this?)
