Fight!: Mortal Kombat 1 Hits Kickstarter March 3
13 days ago – Fri, Feb 27, 2026 at 06:38:34 PM

DC DBG fans,

We hope everyone is having a great February! We are heads down working on lots of new DC Deck-Building Game base games, expansions, accessories, and… surprises. This is going to be the brightest year yet for the game! Expect announcements to start hitting in a few short months…

We have something else special hitting Kickstarter on March 3… Fight! Mortal Kombat 1. We took the Cerberus Engine and reimagined it from the ground up to optimize it for fighting games. It’s fast, brutal, dynamic, and so much fun!

Follow the campaign at THIS LINK. And since the DC DBG community is so important to us at Cryptozoic, expect to get an email (and an update) on Day 1 with something special you’ll get for free for backing. Hope to see you on March 3 at 10 am PT!


 

Thanks for your support,

The Cryptozoic Team


 

A Big Year for DC Deck-Building Game! PLUS Fight!: Mortal Kombat 1... Coming to Kickstarter Soon!
about 2 months ago – Fri, Jan 16, 2026 at 09:49:12 AM

DC DBG fans,

Happy New Year! And what a year it’s going to be, because we have SO MUCH planned for DC Deck-Building Game fans. We’re going to ring in 2026 by confirming: Yes, there will be a new Kickstarter campaign. We’re deep in development and can’t say much, but we can reveal the main base game is one that you, the fans, have been asking for. We can also say that there will be fresh gameplay, amazing DC art, expansions, exclusives, and stretch goals galore. We can’t wait!

Beyond that, we’re looking at more ways to support and grow the community. We’re starting locally (we’re in Orange County, California), but we hope to work with more game stores and fan groups directly and do more to encourage events. DC Deck-Building Game has been around for 14 years and we’re still seeing new people start playing every week. We think there is still a lot of room for growth for the game and for us to do lots more to support all of you!

Oh, and you’ll start seeing DC Deck-Building Game in Barnes & Noble locations in just a couple of months. So, hopefully, even more players will be introduced to the game.

Now, since we know you like deck-building games and Kickstarters, we have a special announcement…

Fight!: Mortal Kombat 1… Coming to Kickstarter!

Get over here! Fight!: Mortal Kombat 1 is coming to Kickstarter soon!

The game takes the mechanics fans love from our Cerberus Deck-Building Game engine and reimagines and optimizes them for fighting games.

Ratchet up the khaos with all your favorite Kombatants, Fatalities, and other memorable moves from the game. It’s going to be a flawless victory.

DC DBG fans,

Thank you to everyone who came out for our big Black Friday event that started last week! A ton of you came out to get the new Peacemaker Pack and get up to 50% off DC Deck-Building Game releases

If you haven’t joined us yet, the Black Friday savings run until December 5, so you still have time. Go to THIS LINK to shop DC DBG for yourself, friends, and family… it’s really the best holiday gift you can give. To be fair, we may be biased…
 

Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Game… LIVE NOW on Kickstarter

Now for something totally different… we are live now on Kickstarter for Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Game! The iconic crew of the Satellite of Love is back. Help them make the best of their imprisonment in this all-new riff-tastic party game! 

Even if you’re not a hardcore fan of the show, the game is a lot fun for anyone who loves watching cheesy movies and making funny comments. In the game, you can use either the included Riff cards or write your own riffs on the special dry-erase Riff cards, as you encounter images from classic B-movies.

CLICK HERE to back now! We’ve funded and are unlocking stretch goals!

Thanks for your support!

This Black Friday, put away the leftovers… it’s time to eat peace! We are premiering the DC Deck-Building Game: Peacemaker Pack. This expansion pack includes Peacemaker and Vigilante Character cards each with their own unique Starter cards as well as Nemesis versions to fight. The cards feature iconic comic book images of characters popularized by the Peacemaker TV series.

  • DC Deck-Building Game: Arkham Asylum - Plastic Tokens & Bag: We got some extras back from different Kickstarter fulfillment centers.

If you’re not in the US or Canada, we’ll add links to our eBay Store for most items so you can order that way.
