Welcome to the Quixotic Games Store, the home for Core Worlds and Dungeon Alliance games and accessories. We are temporarily closed due to a lack of inventory.
Please sign up for our Mailing List below, and then return in the late Spring when we open up pre-orders for "Dungeon Alliance: Paragons," the first all-female expansion for Dungeon Alliance!

"Core Worlds: Nemesis" Rulebook Finalized + EU Adventure Packs Shipped Out!

"Core Worlds: Nemesis" FinalRulebook
As we continue to send our final files to the printer in anticipation of our upcoming press date, we thought we would share the revised version of the rulebook for Core Worlds: Nemesis, which, in addition to including revisions based on feedback from playtesters, has been expanded to include instructions on how to incorporate the 30 promo cards into your games of Core Worlds.
We have finally shipped the Dungeon Alliance Adventure Packs out to all of our Kickstarter backers in Europe. The games shipped out last week, so please let us know if you have not received your Adventure Packs by next Wednesday, October 20, and we will help you track down your package. Please feel free to email me directly at [email protected] for assistance.
Empires + Nemesis Press Date Looms
Our printer, LudoFact, has informed us that they are currently scheduled to print Core Worlds: Empires and Core Worlds: Nemesis in either late October or early November. They have let us know, however, about potential delays based upon the arrival of printing materials such as paper and cardstock during this time of global supply chain shortages.
We will continue to keep track of these circumstances and let you know if our press date changes due to these supply issues. Until then, we'll continue to ask the Merchant Alliance for their help in getting our supplies past the asteroid storms and convoy pirates that are besetting the galaxy!
Until our next Update...

Empire Board Preview + EU Adventure Pack Update

Empire Board Preview
As we approach our printing date in October, we thought we would share some of the graphic work we've been doing. Below is the front and back of one of the sixteen punchboards that will come with your game. This one includes the Anu Empire Board on the front and the Nemesis Empire Board on the back (which is used for solo play). Enjoy!
Although we've shipped the Dungeon Alliance Adventure Packs to all of our backers outside of Europe, we're still waiting for LudoPackt in Germany to deliver the Adventure Packs to our dungeon explorers throughout Europe. The reason we were able to print the Adventure Packs earlier than the Core Worlds games is because of the smaller print run, which we ran in LudoFact's Asian affiliate, Ludo Kick, in Hong Kong. Ludo Kick has always produced the cards and miniatures for Dungeon Alliance, and they've done a wonderful job on the full Adventure Packs, but port delays in Asia and Europe have proven to be a challenge in getting the packs to arrive in Germany.
The good news is that LudoPackt has reported that the games have finally cleared customs and should arrive in their warehouse by September 28. Once the games arrive and are processed, they should not take longer than a single day to ship out.
We apologize for the delay and thank you for your patience. We thought the packs would be shipping out much sooner than this, and we even expected them to arrive at LudoPackt as soon as they cleared customs, which is why I've been reporting to individual backers who sent inquiries that they would be shipping out this week. I was mistaken about this, so please accept my apologies. I am anxious to get you back into the dungeon as soon as possible! ;-)
Until our next Update...

Dungeon Alliance Adventure Packs shipping out!

Dungeon Alliance Adventure Packs now shipping!
As some of you have already noticed after receiving shipping notifications, we started mailing out the Dungeon Alliance Adventure Packs today, as well as some other rewards that are currently available based on your location. Please keep in mind that, even if you have a large bundle of early rewards heading your way, your pledge is not yet complete! In particular, Core Worlds: Empires and Core Worlds: Nemesis are currently scheduled to print in October and ship out in December, so please don't be concerned if there are still items missing from these early shipments.
The packages that are shipping this week are departing from our US warehouse, so Kickstarter backers in Europe should not expect to receive shipping notifications yet. We plan to begin shipping Adventure Packs from Germany by the end of next week. These shipments will only include the Adventure Packs for now. European backers will receive all of their other rewards when we ship out Core Worlds: Empires and Core Worlds: Nemesis later this year.
NOTE: Those of you receiving the Adventure Packs currently have "locked" addresses on BackerKit. If your address changes during the coming months, please send us an email at [email protected] so that we can unlock your address and send you a link to update it.
Promo Card Review, Part VII
For our final Promo Card Reveal, we're showing off the infamous Buono Core World, the land of endless intergalactic beer. For those who don't know the backstory of this card, back in 2012 our beloved publisher, Stephen Buonocore, asked us to create a Core World called "Buono" so that it would be the "Buono Core" World. He's such a nice guy, how could we say no? ;-)
There are a few hidden images in the world illustration. See how many you can find!

"Core Worlds: Empires" Box Bottom + Adventure Pack Updates

"Core Worlds: Empires" Box Bottom
Dear Young Emperors,
Today we are excited to present the finished box bottom for Core Worlds: Empires, which provides a closer look at many of the game components. The box text also includes the final component counts for the game.
In other news, Stronghold Games has sent us all of the copies that were ordered for the Core Worlds base game, the Core Worlds: Galactic Orders expansion, and the Core Worlds: Revolution expansion. You may recall that for a brief time during the campaign, we had to cut off sales of Galactic Orders because we ran out of copies to sell. Thankfully, Stronghold Games was able to pull copies from several online venues so that we could have enough for everyone during the campaign. Stronghold has now sent us all of those copies, so we are ready to send them out to you when we send out the rest of your rewards in December.
Note: Although we don't have any additional copies of Galactic Orders available for sale at this time, we do have a few copies that we've set aside to replace those that might be damaged in transit. If we end up having extra after making our deliveries, then we'll post the extras for sale.
Dungeon Alliance Adventure Packs Almost Here
As you may know, there have been numerous international port issues lately, so the Adventure Packs will be arriving at our warehouses a little later than expected. They are now supposed to arrive within the next two weeks. Once they arrive, we will begin shipping them out to you immediately.
We have taken the opportunity to unlock your shipping addresses once again. If you ordered the Adventure Packs and have changed your address in recent months, please update your mailing address on BackerKit right away. If you need help updating your address, please email me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to help you out.
Promo Card Review, Part VI
This update we're sharing the story versions of the original six Core Worlds from the base game. These promo cards include flavor text that delves into the lore behind each world.
