Mothership Games premiered their inaugural game Cataclysm Arcade trading card game at GAMA earlier this year to universal praise, following an initial sneak peek at PAX Unplugged last year. This game will be the first step toward pairing filmmakers with top game and product designers to expand this property into tomorrow’s most exciting new entertainment franchise. 

Co-concepted and created by gaming legend Brian David Marshall and Jay Van Hoy, known for his work on such acclaimed feature films The Witch and The Lighthouse, the two have created a world that honors the best of modern storytelling and the retro chic of 1980’s VHS nostalgia, thanks to the jaw dropping art of comic book illustrators Steve Ellis, ChrisCross, Benjamin Dewey, Zach Howard, Nelson Daniel, Jason Masters, Juan Doe and DAF along with TCG illustrators like Ellis, Andre Garcia, Adriano Kitane, Tim Gaedke, Samuel Alexander, and Neon Pennington. 

The team behind the game announce a special set of perks for those who make as little as a $5 deposit to reserve their place in line of initial supporters:

• The first 5,000 reservations will receive a limited ‘Blood & Steel’ Sky foil: This is Exclusive Variant Art that will never be reprinted.

• 15 Card Limited Edition Booster Pack: Limited Edition Booster featuring 12 exclusive Andre Garcia alt art cards randomly inserted in packs. Ships June while the campaign is live. So they can ‘test drive’ and play while they pledge. 

• Bonus Booster Packs: Every Early Bird depositor will receive 4 additional Crawling from the Wreckage Founder’s Edition Booster Packs with every Booster Display ordered through Kickstarter.

The game imagines a world in which an unknown event brought about the near end of humanity in 1986, where pockets of survivors linger in the New York City subway tunnels. Some of these survivors compete in a gladiatorial bloodsport broadcast through old subway system speakers, closed circuit broadcast, and ham radios. A train rolls up, a Boss steps out, and the winner of the ensuing brawl gets to ride the train to the next stop. The goal of Cataclysm Arcade is simple: be the last Boss standing. Pit your Boss against others for a fast-paced gaming experience guaranteed to excite both lifelong players and newcomers alike. Everything you need to play comes in one booster pack, even the dice.
