Last week, we shared a Kickstarter update about how tariffs were impacting NorthStar, unsure how our backers would react. They've been nothing but amazing.
Over 2,000 backers have added new items to their pledges, including a new promo we designed to help with tariff costs. We're blown away.

So happy to see you enjoy this series. Also, we've got a new game coming out later this year called Nature. It's the next in the series, and allows you to add modules (like Jurassic, Flight, Arctic Tundra and more) to easily customize the experience for the players at your table.

We're totally biased but Oceans: Legends of the Deep and Oceans: Solo both improve Oceans in different ways.
LotD brings epic mythology and game-changing abilities into Oceans right from the start, and Solo lets you enjoy Oceans on your own against a challenging Automa opponent.
