We took the best parts from the Total Chaos Edition (RIP) & threw them in a "Junk Drawer" add-on to open new vistas for your raccoon raids. Someone asked, could you pledge for just the Junk Drawer if you already have the box set? And you know what? Yes. Yes you can.

After canceling the Total Chaos Edition (RIP), I resolved not to mess with what made the original so much fun. We tossed the best parts of the bigger game into an add-on called the Junk Drawer—custom maps, hex tiles, portrait cards, bottlecaps, dumpster-fire meeple & extra dice. Amazing art. 3/5

Thank you to Liz, who stopped by booth 1813 to give us this lovely raccoon adventurer! She played a bedazzled cockroach in Raccoon Sky Pirates last night, gained a cult and immediately lost them in an ill-fated rescue operation involving a string of Christmas lights. I have to bring this game back
