SEC Property? What does that mean?
We promised that when you solve all the quests on our Kickstarter page, we'll also give you a juicy hint about our next project... and we delivered!
"SEC Property" is what you got as the answer for the last part of the quest. Let us explain.
Siclen Studio was started as a series of get-togethers where we were creating a fictional universe and board games set in this sci-fi world. One of the prototypes we crafted at that time was later turned into Cosmic Chains.
Now we are returning to the idea of the universe. Actually, “Siclen” in our name refers to the fictional IT corporation Siclen Engines (SEC for short) – the biggest company in one of our sci-fi worlds with an HQ in the Earth orbit. So, not only one of our next projects might be somehow related to SEC, but there are also some easter eggs in Cosmic Chains! Of course, we will leave you the joy of finding them on your own😺
Keep supporting us and stay involved to help us continue doing what we love! Thank you!💜
You own effects in Cosmic Chains???🙀🙀🙀 YES!
All this time you've been solving the puzzles on our Kickstarter page to unlock this awesome prize, so now each Cosmic Chains box will get 2 blank cards for you to fill with your own powerful effects and cute illustrations!
These blank cards will have the same designs on the backs as the other cards, so they will be fully playable.
Huge thanks to our backers who participated in all the quests—you are the shiniest starts who made it possible for everyone!✨✨✨
We can't wait to see what effects you'll make up for the cards! 🛰️Share your ideas with us in the comments!🛰️
We know you all love the art style of Cosmic Chains, so here is a huge inside from our lovely illustrator: the sketches of how we searched for PERFECT satellites together🙀✨
When we saw these, we definitely knew that the cat one must stay. But with team AI it was much more difficult...
🛰️What's your favorite satellite sketch?🛰️
If you're still thinking what to do tonight or this weekend, we have the answer for you! Play Cosmic Chains on Tabletopia!
Yes, our amazing digital mode is on Tabletopia now, too! You can enjoy Cosmic Chains with a friend or a loved one even if you're far away from each other❤️🩹
This mode is worth trying because it's free to play and SO GORGEOUS, so don't miss out!
And if you like what we do, please help us spread the word about Cosmic Chains and support us on Kickstarter! Your help and participation mean the world to us!💜🛰️

Today is a very special day for us! And not only because we looove Star Wars.
It's also our illustrator's birthday!🎂 has been with us since day one, and we really enjoyed the process of creating our characters with her. Let's all wish her all the inspiration in the world and tell her once again how much we love the silly and cute Cosmic Chains illustrations she made!
And take a look at this stunning poster she crafted for us to celebrate Star Wars Day! Doesn't Star Chains sound like the best crossover ever?!🙀
No wonder Dmitrii, Cosmic Chains Game Designer and the biggest Star Wars fan in our team, was partially inspired by this franchise when developing the game😅
We all had so much fun developing our Cats and Blobs in funny satellites with our illustrator Maria and we came up with so many crazy ideas in the process😜🐾
Now, we're curious what YOUR Cosmic Chains spirit character is!

Only 2 days left till launch! Are you keeping your fingers on the mouse/touchpad to be the first to back Cosmic Chains on May 1?😉
The theme of our game is Cats vs. Robots, so we figured you would want to know more about this unusual competition. That's why our illustrator crafted these adorable comic strips featuring Cats and Blobots in silly situations. These comic strips are postcards you can collect or send to your loved ones to invite them to play Cosmic Chains, for example😄🐾
The full collection of postcards with comic strips was joined by two additional game cards to form the ultimate add-on! By the way, these Sketchy Dudes aren't just souvenirs: they are fully-functional game cards with an ultra-powerful effect that will help you repair destroyed satellites🙀
Come visit our Kickstarter page in 48 hours! Your support means the world💜✨
Time flies so fast: it's only 3 days till Cosmic Chains launches on Kickstarter! We're so excited! Are you?
Cosmic Chains is a very versatile duel. Although it's two-player only, it's very fast paced which allows for tournaments! So, for the most competitive couples, friends, or even friend groups looking for an engaging activity to do together, we came up with this stunning add-on. This is a shiny metal coin saying "the Champ of Champs" to award the winner with this majestic title.
🤔Who's going to be the champ of champs in your household?😉
4 days, everyone!🙌
What can be more important in a card game than... cards? We didn't want the cards to "melt" in your hands and quickly become unusable, so we chose black core cards with linen finish for Cosmic Chains. Black core makes cards highly durable and flexible, and linen texture feels nice and grippy in the hand.
See you on Kickstarter in 4 days to experience this cosmic adventure with us!🐾✨
5 days till launch! We're almost in orbit!
One of our main goals and priorities with Cosmic Chains (after super engaging, tactical gameplay of course) was to give this game the ultimate quality and offer you maximum convenience. ✨That's why we designed and modelled this beautiful custom tray! ✨
The tray makes Cosmic Chains set up even faster, and you can always be sure that all components will stay intact no matter what. Thanks to the feedback from multiple bloggers and influencers, we made improvements to the tray to ensure you'll have the best possible experience with Cosmic Chains.
Join us on Kickstarter on May 1! In just 5 days!
6 days till launch!🚀 And another reason to admire our holofoil team cards!
Many of you liked these cards, and we can definitely see why—they are are gorgeous (and cute)🐾✨
This irresistible shine is exclusive to Kickstarter, so get ready to secure your Cosmic Chains copy when we launch on May 1!🛰️
1 WEEK until we launch Cosmic Chains on Kickstarter! Can you believe this?🙀
We've prepared so many cool stuff for you! For example, these awesome Kick-exclusive cards included in every Cosmic Chains Kickstarter copy. Shrewd Pew will allow for even better-calculated strikes, and Space Stations are... just really fun to play with and they also contain a little reference to one of our future projects! *wink-wink*
💜We really hope to see you all on Kickstarter in a week! Stay tuned and get notified on our prelaunch page not to miss the first launch hours!💜

Having fun creating games? Yes, but this sort of fun is slightly different from playing games 👾 #indiegamedev #boardgamedesigner #boardgamedesign #boardgamegeek #indiedev #boardgamelover #boardgamehobby
Your game design is counterintuitive when it is too different from how things work in reality. Weird, right? #gamedesign #gamedev #indiegamedev #boardgamedesign #boardgamedesigner #gameprototype #boardgamegeek #boardgamelife
I mean, why would you listen to someone explaining the rules for the game right away? 🤡 #boardgamememe #boardgamememes #jokes #gamememes #boardgamer #boardgamegeek #boardgamelife #memegamer
Never thought of board games as a boring activity, but heard this this opinion so many times. So, how do we fight this repetitiveness in board games 🤔 #boardgamedesign #boardgamedev #gamedev #gamedesign #boardgamer #boardgamelover #maglevmetro #brassbirmingham
