Core Game

The International Space Station is a big success! With a green light from President Cat, CATSUP can now expand the station by adding on all the modules. As each new module arrives, the CatStronauts bring them online by moving them into place one by one …

"before time runs out!"

Play as your favorite CatStronauts, the best space cats on the planet! Guide fearless commander Major Meowser, brave-but-hungry pilot Waffles, genius technician and inventor Blanket, and quick-thinking science officer Pom Pom on their most important mission yet.

CatStronauts: The Board Game

⭐ The CatStronauts board game features cooperative play that’s only 30-45 minutes long, for 1-4 players ages 10+
 Rules variants lower the difficulty for even younger players, and allow solo play.
⭐ Stellar-quality 2-ply boards with handy cut-outs for cards and tokens, and sleek acrylic game pieces.
⭐ Cosmically cute art and fun-focused game design by CatStronauts comic creator Drew Brockington

CatStronauts: The Board Game is a cooperative game. You win as a team, by completing your core mission, which is to bring ALL the space station’s new modules online, boot up the system, and launch the re-entry pod before the power level drops to 0. 

Quote from Booklist

The dynamic modular table layout lets you move about the space station and assemble the modules as they arrive. You’ll encounter side missions and alerts that make your core mission take extra time. But with teamwork and communication, the CatStronauts will make it home for their parade! (There will be snacks, too!)

Add Ons Listing

The CatStronauts core game and The Fish Finder Satellite expansion have their game design, art, and graphic design completed. After our Kickstarter campaign closes, we expect to send the files off to the printer in July. We’l likely have the games at our warehouse ready to ship to you in January 2025.

Our updates to backers will feature this handy chart to keep you informed on our progress at every step along the way:

Shipping and Taxes

Global shipping is incredibly complicated, but we’re committed to getting your products to you as reliably and cheaply as possible. Here are our estimated shipping rates. Actual shipping rates will be calculated in BackerKit closer to fulfillment.

Shipping Cost Estimates Table

You’ll pay for shipping at checkout in BackerKit’s pledge manager, after the campaign closes.

CANADA & UK TAXES: The delivery charge includes our estimation of duty and taxes (VAT/GST) for Canada and the UK. We are VAT-registered in the UK and for Canada we use services that charge any customs duties, fees, and taxes back to us.

OTHER COUNTRIES’ TAXES: In all other countries you may be required to pay duties, taxes, and a handling fee upon delivery of your rewards. We work to minimize such charges, but every country and courier has its own regulations, rates, practices, and policies.

MISSING YOUR COUNTRY? If your destination isn’t available in the menu, contact us at crowdfund@atlas-games.com and we can calculate the cost to your country and update the options.

ATLAS GAMES FULFILLMENT: We ship your rewards ourselves, from the Atlas Games warehouse in Duluth, Minnesota, USA. Based on our experience, this is more reliable and ultimately less expensive than a collection of global fulfillment warehouses. In part due to our direct control of this facility, our shipping operations have  remained both open and safe during the global pandemic. NOTE: If you haven’t gotten us the info to fulfill your order within 3 months of the street date, we will convert your pledge into a tip/gift.

Retailers

Retailers get their regular terms. Retail tier backers pay shipping later, if at all, using Atlas Games’ standard direct-to-retail sales terms for shipping.

THIS CAMPAIGN IS RETAIL-FRIENDLY BECAUSE:

⭐ 10 FREE CatStronauts bookmarks. Purchase more at your regular discount.

⭐ You pay what you expect, at our standard retailer discount (50%) and regular shipping terms.

⭐ Personal attention for ordering. Our salesperson will contact you to take your order, so no need to worry about ordering add-ons now in Kickstarter.

⭐ Immediate sales. Retailer backers may sell products from this Kickstarter as soon as they receive their orders.

⭐ Family-favorite product. The game is based on the well-known graphic novel series that targets middle school-aged children and their families.

Unfortunately, we can’t sell the graphic novels to our retailer partners, because we’re buying them ourselves from the publisher at their retail discount. Please contact your comics distributor to order these, and thank you for understanding.

Questions? Retailers can ask us directly at sales@atlas-games.com!
