Briefest Write-Ups continue… Cold Weather and too many trips to the gym are sapping my creativity! ⛈️🌪️✅🙄
Hello all! Winter has begun in earnest here on Long Island… and although the Atlantic Ocean is doing its best to attenuate the cold temps, it is still too darn wintery for me! But, this is home… and well… that’s where the hearth (and my family) is… so I guess I’ll stick around. 😉❤️
Bundle details?
This Upstart offering has two options:
The first bundle is the “EVERYTHING CERES EXCEPT THE SLEEVES” kit – it includes the Base Game, The Kickstarter Stretch Goals and Mission Patch, the Comets Expansion, The Mars Contracts Expansion, The Metal Alloys, and the Metal Coins.
The second bundle is the “EVERYTHING CERES EXCEPT THE SLEEVES AND THE BASE GAME” kit. This is for people who backed the base game but didn’t think about the add ons. 😊 It includes the Comets Expansion, The Mars Contracts Expansion, The Metal Alloys, and the Metal Coins. It does NOT include the base game!!
Random tangent… 😂
Carrying just the add-ons is alwyas risky business here at Upstart. Often I end up with those add-ons in my inventory for years… but then, other times when I don’t offer the add-ons alone, I get emails from people asking for them. Haha.
Someday I will get it right! Some day…
Maybe this is that day! 🙏
Anyway… I have been a HUGE fan of Artipia games from the very beginning of my own board gaming adventure… and I still love them now. It is alwyas a pleasure to carry their games! And this one is no exception… fun, engaging, thematic game play… and a cool dual worker placement mechanic that is clever and fun! Thank you, Team Artipia!

Again… sooo sorry, everyone! I’ll get back in the swing at some point… argh! 🏴☠️😭

YEAR: 2219
The days of Earth being the center of humankind’s attention has ceased. The time of long-distance spaceflight and planet colonization is upon us.
Mars has been colonized for more than 100 years. Today, numerous institutions use Mars as the center of their operations. The Asteroid Mining Assembly of Corporations (A.M.A.C) oversees the works of all asteroid mining.
Ceres, a dwarf planet lying amid the chaos of the Asteroid Belt, is now the home of the asteroid mining industrial complex.
While corporations compete for profit and power, and operations on Ceres grow rapidly, so is the demand for high-skilled laborers.
Are you ready to board the mission and lead Ceres?
CERES awaits you!
Ceres is a 1-4 Sci-Fi worker placement game where players take the role of an Asteroid Mining Corporation in the near future and try to outplay their opponents and rule Ceres! The game consists of 3 rounds that represent 3 years in Ceres and the respective full business cycles of the corporations. Players can choose among a variety of actions including launching mining probes to the Asteroid Belt, trading raw materials, constructing and upgrading their core facilities as well as expanding the colony of Ceres, improving their technology through research and liaising with the Mars council in order to exploit their power even more!
Ceres has been co-developed with an astrophysicist for the best possible thematic applications and brings a couple of innovative twists to the worker placement genre!
