Over the years, Steve Jackson Games has published several dice games, doing our best to entertain millions of players around the world. Now, we're bringing you two new dice game designs in a new format: an 11.82" wide by 9.21" tall double-sided poster that folds down to 2.13" wide x 3.35" tall (making it very portable).

ABOVE: The Aquarium side of the 11.82" x 9.21" pocket map. The top right and lower left corners of the design are the cardstock "covers" that are adhered to the map.
The poster maps are reinforced with front and back "covers." These are heavier stock pieces the printer glues to the top right cornerand bottom left corner of one side of the map. When folded up to its smallest size, the two "covers" are all you see of the poster map. This extra durability helps protect the poster map from damage.

There are a total of six different dice sets; two are shipping now and the rest will ship to distributors later this year and into early 2023. (They are being released at different times and not all at once.)

Nanogames: Dragons and Jack-o'-Lanterns
The first release in the Nanogames series, this double-sided poster map includes the rules for two different dice games, each designed by Steve Jackson! Although playable with any standard six-sided dice, you may find our Dragon d6 Dice Set and Halloween d6 Dice Set fantastic additions if you want your dice to align with the games. Both will be available as add-ons in the BackerKit survey.

Both Dragons and Jack-o'-Lanterns appeared in the Illuminated Manuscript zine. This is a reformatting and revision of the rules as they were presented in the zine.

BackerKit Surveys
After the project closes, we will open the BackerKit surveys where you will provide your shipping address. There, you will also have the chance to select add-on items: games, expansions, and accessories you may choose (and buy) in the survey that we will pack with your chosen perks. Surveys must be completed to receive your perks.
NOTE: Selecting add-ons in BackerKit will increase the shipping charges.
International Shipping
We're trying a new shipping option for this project, giving us a chance to test shipping to Canada, the EU, and the UK with door-to-door tracking. If you support this project and receive your perks in Canada, the EU, or the UK, you will be responsible for all local fees, taxes, and charges. You will not receive a refund if you refuse to pay those costs. Your government may charge you a percentage of the overall cost -- perk + shipping (+ any add-ons) -- and they may add other fees. Whatever they charge is your responsibility.
International shipping continues to be slow and expensive. Your perks could arrive within weeks after shipping, or it could take months for the package to reach your door. You acknowledge and agree to these risks and costs by supporting this project. If our tracking shows that your package was delivered, we will not offer refunds.
International shipping is risky and expensive. If you accept these risks and pay the costs, we will ship your package with door-to-door tracking. What happens next is up to the winds of chance.
