Vala Foundry and Mugen Gaming Announce an English Edition of Cosmic Cowboy

Cosmic Cowboy

Mugen Gaming and Vala Foundry have announced the upcoming English edition of Cosmic Cowboy, a stylish Japanese worker placement board game where players become bounty hunters racing across the galaxy to capture notorious outlaws. The game will launch on Kickstarter soon, bringing the game to English-speaking audiences for the first time.

Created by Japanese game designer Hayato Kisaragi, Cosmic Cowboy challenges players to strategically deploy their crew, upgrade planets, and take on increasingly dangerous criminals to earn valuable bounties. Each round, players choose an action, move their captain, deploy hired hands, and collect rewards as they compete to become the galaxy’s greatest bounty hunter. After eight rounds, the bounty hunter with the most victory tokens earns the title of the Cosmic Cowboy. With quick turns, meaningful decisions, and a playful sci-fi setting, Cosmic Cowboy offers an experience that is easy to learn while rewarding clever strategy.

Following the success of their collaboration on En-nichi, Mugen Gaming and Vala Foundry have once again partnered to deliver a faithful English localization that preserves the personality, humor, and visual style of the original game while making it accessible to a wider audience. With development complete, the team is now focused on bringing the game to players through Kickstarter.

The Kickstarter campaign will feature the complete English edition of the game along with exclusive rewards available only during the campaign.
