Stunning art by Marie Bergeron

Immerse yourself into the Red Dog Universe with art by Marie Bergeron (Thunder Road: Vendetta, EGO) as you race to build your fortune and capture victory among the stars.

With dozens of unique illustrations on the cards, planets, and locations, Red Dog Junction will become a favorite on game night as well as on your shelf.

Asymmetric and Engaging
Buy powerful Boosts for one-time actions or hire an officer for an asymmetric advantage for the rest of the game. You never know what cards will come along making each game unique.

Dive in with up to 5 players and test your ability to adapt to the chaos while building your fortune. Red Dog Junction also supports a solo mode by game designer Tyler Cheves.

Quick and Strategic Gameplay

Take the helm of your freighter as you expand your crew, move between ports and space, and trade with quick actions leaving you ready for your next turn.

Two quick actions per turn means gameplay is brisk and fun. Build your strategy and adapt as you fight to gain gemstones and convert them into gold. Learn the game is 5 minutes and enjoy the fun and strategy during game night.

What Reviewers Are Saying

“It’s a breezy, fun time that makes for an entertaining game night.”

- Joel (@thedicedonion)

“Really enjoyed Red Dog Junction, a lot of games with the same aesthetic are heavy and take a long time to play / master. Love that RDJ is so easy to learn and you can get so many games in each evening 😊"

- Rebecca (@mammameeple)

“Loading cubes from the void of space and various planets into your own sculpted-mini ship?! YES PLEASE!
Waterworks Games is putting out some very exciting games with fantastic production value."

- Lincoln Hoppe (@thegamebard)

"Every turn feels important and there are a lot of options to choose from. We really enjoyed planning our turns in advance to get the best turn possible every time."

- Colin (@despelbreker)
