Help us bring the Jump!Star Board Game to life! This imaginative, non-competitive adventure lets players embody future North Stars and work together to solve playful challenges that blend collaboration, creativity, and a touch of cosmic chaos.
Created by Jessie & Aaron Troisi with George Ferrandi and designer Madeline Margaret Baker, the game is inspired by the real 26,000-year wobble of Earth’s axis that causes our North Star to change.
After a joyful round of beta testing, we’ve working on the final tweaks. Our plan is to launch a Kickstarter campaign in the spring to fund a larger production run—bringing the cost down and making the game more widely available.
✨ What makes it special:
Non-competitive—everyone wins when the stars align.
Playful challenges that spark camaraderie and laughter.
Inspired by the cosmic dance of Earth’s shifting North Stars.
Designed with the same artistry and spirit as the Jump!Star project.
Your troupe must work in hilarious harmony to overcome 12 interactive challenges along the path to completing the Great Year. Under the watchful eye of the Astronomer, each card reveals a spectacular shared challenge, a radiant act of camaraderie, or a glittering test of collective wit and wonder.
Gather your guest stars, take turns in the cosmic spotlight, and co-create the greatest show above Earth!

Celebrate our current North Star Polaris with this super luminous glow-in-the-dark sticker.
Oh, Polaris! For hundreds of years - our literal and figurative guiding light, leading ships to shore, scouts to safety and enslaved people to freedom. It is the star of Hipparchus, of Shakespeare, of RZA. To the ancient Greeks, Polaris was known as Cynosura (dog’s tail), and it remains loyal like a watchdog. To the East Cree People, Polaris is Mahican Atchakos—Wolf Star. In the Jump!Star lexicon, Polaris is represented as a Dire wolf—weary from keeping watch for centuries, but ever faithful.

Future North Star Stickers
This durable vinyl sticker commemorates one of the stars of Earth’s great precession cycle: Theta Bootis aka BOOTS is a Blue White Dwarf Main Sequence Star and will be Earth's North Star in 22000 CE. Its magnitude is 4.05. This star has historically been associated through its Latin name with donkeys and through its Arabic name with hyenas - creatures less known for their grace than for their charm - and Boots is in the same boat. Within the world of Jump!Star, Boots is represented as your classic cartoon hot dog, the beloved comic relief of the empyrean.

Future North Star Stickers
This durable vinyl sticker commemorates one of the stars of Earth’s great precession cycle: Deneb is a Super Blue Giant and will be Earth’s North Star in 9800 CE. Its magnitude is 1.25.In Western astronomy, Deneb is the bright star in the tail of the Swan (Cygnus) constellation. In Eastern mythology, Deneb is understood to be a bridge of magpies across the Milkyway, reuniting two lovers in the famous Qi Xi story. Within the Jump!Star world, Deneb is both forces at once. Always in motion, it is both the bridge and the swan. It is both connecting the lovers and finding its way back to love…

Future North Star Stickers
This durable vinyl sticker commemorates one of the stars of Earth’s great precession cycle: IOTA CEPHEI, aka IOTA is an Orange Giant star with a magnitude of 3.5 and will be our North Star in 5200 CE. Compared to our other eventual North Stars, not much is written about Iota, so within the Jump!Star Universe, we characterize this star as a Familiar Mystery. It is represented as a grouping of human heads or faces, because we as humans remain somewhat mysterious or unknowable, even to ourselves.
