SIGN UP FOR JERRY GARCIA’S COSMIC JOURNEY PREORDER
Created by Portland, OR-based game design team Jenn Ellis and Keith Baker – known for inventive games like Illimat (with The Decemberists), Eberron (for Dungeons & Dragons), Gloom, and Cool Cool Cool – Jerry Garcia’s Cosmic Journey is an easy to learn dice game for people of all ages that can be played almost anywhere. Players push their luck rolling dice as they take trips around a labyrinth of Jerry's art, picking up “Bummer” tokens based on their score. When all tokens have been claimed, players journey home and win by being the first to leave all their “Bummers” behind. Solo players and journey jams for up to eight players can riff on basic rulesets, guaranteeing each play experience is completely unique. Compact and portable, Jerry Garcia’s Cosmic Journey is infused with all the fun, magic, and memories that have long defined Garcia’s iconic art and music.
“We’re excited to partner with an independent company full of creative and imaginative individuals,” says Trixie Garcia. “It’s been a true grassroots effort, and we’ve enjoyed seeing it grow into something that will bring people together. It’s through games that we learn valuable strategies, all while bonding with those closest to us. May any challenge we encounter be no match for our wit and wisdom. My dad’s legacy lives on through moments of joy, laughter, and connection. Like music, games foster community, and Jerry Garcia’s Cosmic Journey is a whimsical way for fans to keep that spirit alive wherever the road may lead. Let’s get together and play!”
ABOUT JERRY GARCIA:
Jerry Garcia (1942-1995) created an unparalleled legacy across the American landscape, most notably in his role as a founding member, singer, songwriter, and lead guitarist of the Grateful Dead. Garcia’s unmistakable guitar tone enchanted multitudes of “Deadheads” throughout the band’s 30-year career and beyond. His work with the Jerry Garcia Band, Old and in the Way, Legion of Mary, Garcia/Grisman, and projects with Merl Saunders only scratches the surface of his musical influences, as he set out to master the Great American Songbook. Unequivocally devoted to the craft of music, Garcia continues to inspire future generations through the body of work he has left behind and his creative spirit.
