The Defence of Procyon III Pre-Order Store

Created by Will Townshend, PSC Games

From prolific designer Dávid Turczi comes the wargame for the eurogamer: The Defence of Procyon III. In this smart sci-fi struggle, one-to-four players take control of unique factions as part of a team-based conflict. The card-driven battle wages over two boards using 120 amazing miniatures, with humans defending against invading aliens on the surface and orbital space of Procyon III. Played competitively or cooperatively, the highly asymmetric gameplay involves four different card-based combat games interacting with each other and continues until one side has achieved victory in this previously insignificant corner of the galaxy. The world of Procyon III is brought to life by the evocative art of Jakub Politzer (Adrenaline, Sanctum).

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Tutorial Videos Live - Fulfilment almost complete
almost 2 years ago – Mon, Apr 04, 2022 at 05:07:59 AM

Hello all,


We are at the point now where we will be wrapping up The Defence of Procyon III. At this stage nearly all pledges should have been received with a couple of exceptions;

- If you're in Israel, delivery is expected around 30th April

- If you are in the US and added Blitzkrieg to your pledge, these are being sent early next week

If you are not in one of these two groups and haven't received your pledge yet, please contact us asap on [email protected]


Tutorial Videos

It's been great working with Before You Play to be able to bring you the tutorial videos and some gameplay for The Defence of Procyon III, it should cover everything you need to know to get you going.


Tutorial - The tutorial covers the basic rules and all four factions. You only need to watch the basic rules and the faction you are going to play to get started, but we'd recommend watching the whole video so you can learn how your partner and your opponents play.

The link for the tutorial video is here; youtube.com/watch?v=lXd3A6z2zjw

Playthroughs - There's two rounds of playthrough videos, so you can see how the actions work and get a feel for gameplay.

The Round 1 gameplay video is here: youtube.com/watch?v=4swBG9veNlk

The Round 2 gameplay video is here: youtube.com/watch?v=50UScK_nRDE

Once again, we are so grateful for all your support, and we hope you have a lot of fun trying to capture, or defend, Procyon III.

Thanks again, and in the meantime follow us on Twitter / Facebook / Instagram as well as on BGG for more gaming adventures!

Fulfilment almost complete. Total War: ROME: The Board Game live now on Gamefound
about 2 years ago – Mon, Jan 24, 2022 at 04:20:02 AM

Hello all,

Fulfilment is pretty much complete for most of the world, there are a few copies still to go out in the UK, some have been delayed due to add-ons, and Australia/New Zealand have been delayed due to getting a shipment over there. If you didn't add any add-ons, and are not in Australia/New Zealand, please wait a week or so, and if you've still not received the game, contact us at [email protected]

In the meantime, we'd love to let you know about our latest project, live now on Gamefound.

People of Rome, Total War: ROME: The Board Game is available to BACK NOW on Gamefound! If you back while the campaign is live you get access to awesome discounts and exclusive products!


Based on the world-renowned video game, Total War: ROME: The Board Game allows up to four players to play as the leaders of Rome, Carthage, Greece, and Gallo-Germania. Each player will conquer new lands, develop their faction, claim territories, recruit epic armies, fight enemies in intense battles, build barracks, markets and walls, raise taxes, spy, riot, trade and so much more!


Will you become a militant tyrant and dominate the land? Will you use politics to sweet-talk your way to victory? Will you ally with your neighbours and swear to protect them, or will your words be sweet-nothings on the eve of battle? May your victories be sweet! and revenge be sweeter! Veni, vidi, vici. To War, Romans!


Back Now on Gamefound!

All games with fulfilment hubs and Tutorial videos
over 2 years ago – Mon, Dec 20, 2021 at 12:50:03 PM

A brief update just before we take a break, all games are now through customs and with the respective fulfilment hubs;

Asia & Oceania (VFI)

The games are with VFI, from what we can tell they should start fulfilment fairly soon, you can check the status of some hubs on their website here; vfi.asia/hubs

North America (R&R)

The games have made it through customs and are now with R&R. Hopefully they should start fulfilment in the next couple of weeks, but they are pretty backed up, we'll update as we get more information.

EU (Taverna Ludica)

Most of the games have been sent, a few have been returned due to address issues, but these have been rectified and will be resent before Christmas. Taverna Ludica will also be receiving the Blitzkrieg and Red Alert packages today, so those will be sent within the next week.

UK & RoW (PSC Games)

The games arrived in our warehouse, but there was then a shortage of packing materials, after eventually sourcing some fulfilment has started. It it taking a little longer than usual as we had a few projects all land at the same time, but we're working as hard as we can to get them out the door before we break for the holidays.

Tutorial Videos

One of the stretch goals was for a set of tutorial videos with Gaming Rules! Unfortunately due to the delays in the project and Paul's very busy schedule, he is unable to do them now.

However, the good news is that we will be working with the fabulous Monique and Naveen at Before You Play on a set of videos. They have played the game before and love it, as you can see in this video here.

Monique and Naveen of Before You Play

Their clear and concise teaching style will be a great fit for this project. They will be receiving their copy of The Defence of Procyon III along with the North American backers, and will get to work right away on a set of videos as soon as they have a space in their schedule. We'll give you an update on when these can be expected when we have more information.

Fulfilment due to start soon! News about add-ons
over 2 years ago – Sat, Nov 13, 2021 at 05:54:07 PM

Hello all,

Exciting news, the fulfilment of The Defence of Procyon III is about to start.

Amazingly the shipping lanes have aligned and everyone should start receiving their games at roughly the same time.

North America

The games have been unloaded, and are processing through customs now. Once they've cleared we expect R&R to be able to start fulfilment a week or two after that.

UK

The games have been unloaded and cleared customs. They are being delivered to the PSC Warehouse on Wednesday 17 Nov, fulfilment should start the following week.

Rest of Europe

The boat is pulling in the docks, hopefully it won't be too long to process through customs, meaning Taverna Ludica should start fulfilment the week after that.

Asia, Oceania and RoW

VFI have the games and will be starting fulfilment next week.

We'll start posting as soon as we figure out how to get it in the post box!

Add-ons

Unfortunately due to a number of reasons, there has been some stock issues with some of the add-ons that people ordered. They are summarised below, but if you have been affected, you should have received an email from Mark ([email protected]) yesterday, check your spam just in case.

Blitzkrieg

Since running the Defence of Procyon III, Blitzkrieg and the Nippon expansion have been combined into one box. For most people, this means they will receive this instead of the two separate boxes. Please check your email for how this affects you.

North America and Europe (including UK)

Blitzkrieg is currently out of stock in our US, UK and EU warehouses, but we are expecting more very soon. If you had Blitzkrieg on your order, there may be a slight delay in fulfilling your Procyon pledge so we can send it all at once, but you should still receive it before the holidays.

Rome and Roll and Character Expansion 1

Rome and Roll is out of stock in all of our warehouses, the Character expansion is only available in North America. A reprint is happening now, but it won't arrive for a few months. We don't want to hold up fulfilment of your Procyon pledge, so we have refunded this portion of your pledge and any associated shipping costs.

If you are in North America and ordered only the Character Expansion 1, you will still receive this (i.e. someone in North America that ordered the base game and expansion will receive a refund for both).

If you would like to order any Rome and Roll content, the pre-order shop will be open for one week from the date of this update (closing on Friday 19th November).

Pre-order Rome and Roll here

Red Alert

Red Alert base game is out of stock in North America and it's not certain whether we will get more stock, so we have refunded this portion of the pledge and associated shipping costs to any backers who had the base game as part of their order. For the rest of the world we had enough stock to fulfil your orders.

And that's everything. Hopefully we'll see lots of you receiving your games very soon! We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigated what is a tough time for shipping, and hope that it will be worth the wai

Update on shipping, come and see us at Essen Spiel
over 2 years ago – Wed, Oct 06, 2021 at 12:39:43 PM

Hello all,

Unfortunately not a lot of news to share this time, but as we're heading to Essen Spiel soon (read more below) we wanted to let you know where things are at before we set off.

UK (PSC Games fulfilling)

Games for the UK are on a boat, currently just passing Malaysia heading for the Suez Canal. We expect this to arrive in Felixstowe in 2-3 weeks. Depending on how quickly it gets through customs we should be able to start fulfilment a couple of weeks after that (mid-end November).

Asia, Australia, New Zealand (VFI fulfilling)

The games for Asia, Australia and New Zealand have been delivered to VFI. They are processing all the documents now, and will be starting to fulfil to Asia very soon, sending a consignment to Australia, which will take about 2 weeks, to fulfil pledges to Australia and New Zealand hopefully from the start of November.

EU & Europe (Taverna Ludica fulfilling)

Our German language partner, Taverna Ludica, will be fulfilling games for the EU from Germany. The games made it onto a boat last Thursday and are due to arrive in Hamburg in 4 weeks. From there it will take a couple of weeks to clear customs and get to the warehouse, but should hopefully start fulfilling end of November or early December.

USA, Canada and RoW (R&R Games fulfilling)

We had space booked on a boat last Tuesday, unfortunately due to inclement weather the boat has been delayed. We have been given a new date of 6 October, hopefully the pallets will make it on that boat. It then takes about 4 weeks to arrive in the USA. However, due to backlogged ports in the US, it's taking anywhere up to another 7 weeks to then be delivered to final destinations. Sorry that it's not more clear on what's happening, everything is just so unpredictable currently.

PSC Games at Essen Spiel

We're excited to let you know that PSC Games will be at Essen Spiel this year in Hall 5 at stand D-118. We'll have a prototype of Total War: Rome: The Board Game, as well as a limited number of advanced copies of Caesar! available to buy.

Do come along and see us, we'd love to say 'Hello and thank you!' to you, our amazing backers!

If you're unable to make Spiel, we will have a presence during Spiel.digital as well.
