For those unfamiliar with what the game is based on, in the show, Steven has a band made up of other Stevens from other dimensions, and they call themselves Steven and the Stevens. The game lets each player have their own Steven to base their band around, and you’ll draft Boardies to fill your audience and Gems to star on your stage and battle it out with the Party Crashers.

Like in the show, players can create fusions of their characters, combining to form more powerful forms that can dish out more damage, net you more gems, and gain you more Battle Points, which you’ll need to win the game.

You’re also rewarded for assembling cards that have matching traits, s if you can gather more Boardies in the Pizza, Onion, or Cool families just to name a few, you’ll get bonuses both during the game and at the end when all the points are counted.

The game is split into three acts that follow the story arcs seen in the show, and new Fusions are introduced into the mix with every round, including the fan-favorite Stevonnie. That’s just the top of the fan service iceberg too, as there are plenty of beloved characters, locations, and creatures featured in the game, and any fan of the franchise is going to love all of it.

The game has a goal of $60,000, and it should crush that well before the deadline. You can find the official description below.
