Here's a quick rundown of the number of each card in the new Avalon
Hill release of Cosmic Encounter:
Total Cards: 54 (prolly really cheap to print 52 + 2 cards)

Negotiate Cards: 10 (each with own flavor text)

Oh, and here's a list of the 20 Alien Powers:
Amoeba, Anti-Matter, Chronos, Clone, Empath, Filch, Healer, Oracle,
Laser, Macron, Mind, Mutant, Pacifist, Parasite, Philanthropist,
Sorcerer, Trader, Virus, Vulch, and Zombie
None of the powers seem to be changed, though some have clarifications
on the card.
The Alien Power cards are, for the first time (I believe) no longer
V-shaped and folded in half. Instead they're thicker, printed on both
sides, and each player has a little plastic holder for their power.
Drawing powers initially and playing Hidden Powers isn't quite so fun,
but isn't really any harder.
