About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a crazy cosmic adventure with SPANC: Space Pirate Amazon Ninja Catgirls! In this game, you take on the role of a feline warrior, blending the best of space pirates, fierce amazons, and agile ninjas. Life is a party of plunder and galactic chaos, where each game throws you into a new 'Caper' – a mission full of dangers and challenges. From the adorable (but treacherous) Friendly Guard Puppies to the fearsome Fiendish Death Traps, you'll need to use all your cunning to overcome obstacles. The goal? Amass more Fame than your rivals, grabbing valuable items like 'Toys' and, who knows, even a 'Poolboy' to help you out. But watch your back (and your tail!), because the other catgirls won't make it easy and want everything you've got! Lovingly illustrated by Phil Foglio, SPANC is a fast-paced and fun card game. The modular board setup ensures that each game is a new experience, keeping the action always fresh. With colorful components and easy-to-learn rules, it's perfect for those who enjoy a mix of science fiction, edgy humor, and light strategic combat. It's an adorable madness that will make you laugh and root for your favorite feline!
