The Shop at Crab Fragment Labs

About the Game Shop

Almost everything at Crab Fragment Labs has a free version, a PDF that you can print and play for no charge. But if you’d like to support us, one of the best ways is to buy our PDFs, from this page.

The files in the Shop are identical to the free ones. But if you like our products, we hope you’ll consider paying for them once in a while, just to help keep the lights on. Your support makes Crab Fragment possible, at least in theory.

Here are some other ways to give us money, if you like what we are doing:

  • Drive Thru Cards: Many of our card games are available as print-on-demand from Drive Thru Cards. They make high-quality cards at very reasonable prices. Each time you buy a deck from them, we get a dollar or two. You can also get boards for some of our smaller games.

  • Support us on Patreon: For a small monthly donation, you can support Crab Fragment Labs on Patreon. Your contribution helps us produce new games, design articles, short fiction, and more. Every little bit helps, and we are grateful for your support.

  • Like, Subscribe and Comment: James Ernest’s YouTube Channel is one of our best communication tools, and the more buttons you touch, the more people we can reach.

  • Join the Mailing List: Our monthly newsletter is punchy, informative, and free! Sign up through the link at the bottom of every page.

  • Visit the Gift Shop: We have a Zazzle Store with Crab Fragment T-shirts and other things. We make a pittance from each one, and there’s no better way than wearing our logo merch to strike up a conversation about your favorite game studio!

What’s Next?

Crab Fragment Labs is slowly on its way to becoming the complete collection of games by James Ernest, old and new.

The New Stuff: While some of our games are in a perpetual state of beta testing, many of them are ready for their page in the shop. So keep checking back for versions of some new board and card games at the Games Page.

Cheapass Upgrades: Slowly but surely, we hope to remake some of our older games with crab DNA, especially those cards-only games that might be good candidates for our store on DriveThruCards. This is what we’ve already done for games like Witch Trial and Bitin’ Off Hedz.

Swag and Goodies: For now, everything here is electronic. That’s pretty easy. But we do have a few things we might put into an envelope, and one day they might show up in the shop. That’s just a nice thought at the moment, but anything is possible.
