Stuff plushies in this fun and fast-paced co-op card game for 1-4 players! Roll your dice, help colorful customers, and earn Creator Crystals in Fluff Rush! Will your team earn enough Crystals? And who will become Employee of the Month?
Stuff as many plushies as you can in this fun, fast-paced, chaotic co-op card game for 1-4 players! Roll your dice, help a colorful cast of customers, and earn Creator Crystals in Create-A-Companion™: Fluff Rush! Can your team make sales plan and help all the customers? And who will be honored as the Employee of the Month?
The game is played in the course of 3 or more "shifts", where players assume the roles of different characters in the store! During the shift, players will draw customers, prepare their order, and roll to successfully stuff the plushie to satisfaction. At the end of each shift, all players will collect their Creator Crystals, move the pawn along the Sales Plan track, and purchase hearts to improve their service skills! Each shift change a new player becomes the shift manager and draws a shift condition card, changing how the flow of the day works for all players.
Create-A-Companion: Fluff Rush is a game where you and your friends help customers fulfill their plushie dreams in a limited time. Roll dice to satisfy conditions, follow special rules, gain power ups to make as many crystals as possible!
Time to Clock In! ⏰
At the start of the game, the first Shift Manager is selected. The Shift Manager is in charge of selecting new shift cards and placing it on the Time Clock, moving the sales plan tracker, etc. Before the shift begins, the newest Shift Manager selects a new Shift card that'll either help or hinder the next shift. All previous Shift cards stack, affecting the next shift simultaneously.
The Day Begins! 🚪
There are 4 main decks during the "Shift" phase of the game that players will draw from: Customers, Plushies, Accessories, and Enchanted Hearts. All turns happen simultaneously during the shift, usually lasting 3 minutes, which means that all players are drawing these cards at the same time.
Building the Plushies! 🧸
Customers are counting on you to help them build plushies to their satisfaction! Rolling dice, you'll match icons to the cards, locking in as you go until you've completed the customer's order. Once you've completed a customer's order, you'll add their add-ons and set it to the side so you can tally the score after the shift.
I want to see your Manager! ⚠️
Every shift, a new player becomes the Shift Manager! When you're the Shift Manager, you get a Shift Manager die, get a character boost, and-- uh-oh! A customer isn't happy and you'll need to take care of them, quick! On their own they don't give many Creator Crystals, but Shift Cards and other cards may give them a boost in value!
Ending the Shift 🃏
Your shifts over and it's time to relax! Count up your scores, grab your crystals, and move the Sales Plan track. You're one step closer to meeting this week's Sales Goal! Pass the Shift Manager button to the next player, and get ready to start again. The game ends after the amount of shifts slated have been completed. Your team is victorious if Sales Plan is met, with the employee with the most Crystals by the end of the game is crowned Employee of the Month!
The base game comes with 273 cards, 25 dice, 4 characters, and is enhanced by the Grand Opening Edition. My favorite part about this game is what players add to it, as players often end up finding themselves in retail role-play scenarios, acting as their characters during the downtime phases. Most often, players choose to act as their D&D or Pathfinder characters but in this retail setting.
The Grand Opening edition enhances the base game experience by including additional content absolutely free during this campaign. Post campaign, the Grand Opening edition will be $58.

Backing one of those main tiers will come with their unique bonuses (see above), plus a hand written thank you from me. I'll also have non reward tiers like a tip tier in case you just want to support the project for any amount because you believe in it.
I have lots of plans for awesome expansions to make this game even better, including one that changes the game entirely! However, that one is going to be a secret for now 🤫
Other stretch goals and translations to be announced. We also want to translate the game into Japanese, French, German, and Russian! Let us know if you have any languages you'd like to see the game translated in!
If we make it this far, I'll have more goals to reveal with add-ons and expansions that'll make your plushie-making fun, even more fluffy!
Shipping is charged after the campaign has concluded and will be collected at the same time as pledges. This ensures the cost of shipping is accurate and account for any bonuses.
All items will be shipped together unless requested or noted otherwise. Any bonuses and extras will be shipped in the same packaging as the main item ordered.
Below are cost estimates for how much shipping will be in your area as well as time frame after receiving the plushies and pins. All shipping rates are subject to change.
All pledges from outside the USA may be subject to VAT, import fees, or taxes not accounted for when the label is purchased. In this case, the backers of the project are responsible for these fees, and I cannot refund or replace any packages that are lost or returned due to these fees going unpaid. If a package is returned to sender (e.g. me), I will contact you so we can attempt sending it again, at the cost of a new label. For more information, please see the FAQ.
This timeline is an estimate and is dependent on factors such as backers completing payments, Backers filling out surveys, BackerKit sending the funds to me, printing/manufacturing,receiving, quality assessment, etc. If anything is changed, it'll be posted in the Updates tab of the project. Thank you for your understanding!

FULFILLMENT:
A survey will be sent out to all backers after the campaign comes to a close. The survey will ask you for your choice in game edition and if applicable additional add-ons. Please be sure that your mailing and billing/payment info is correct! There will be an additional request for final addresses once I receive the products.
Every product will be inspected by me and double inspected by my partner to ensure that every backer gets the best quality.
Packing and shipping will be handled by me. All games and add-ons will be mailed out in reinforced cardboard boxes and packaged with care.
Once the package has been received by the courier/postal service, it is their responsibility to get it to you unharmed and in tact. If you have issues with receiving it, please contact your local post.
My name is Chris and I'm the artist, mind, and owner behind Lefty's Comics! You can find my work and social links through my website at LeftysComics.com. I love the universes I craft and always enjoy sharing them with others.
While I'm newer to Pin creating, my first pin series on Kickstarter was an absolute success for me. I instantly knew that crowdfunding places like Kickstarter and BackerKit were an efficient way of sharing my work with other people. You can find my first Kickstarter here. There's a supportive community here who lets me do what I enjoy. I can share my designs with everyone and know that people will feel a connection. I want to continue that.
All designs are my own original creations. Everything I draw and design is either physical or digital. My tools of choice is Adobe Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint using my Huion Camvas 22 Pro, or ProCreate on my iPad Mini 6.
How does BACKERKIT work?
If you're not familiar with BackerKit or Kickstarter, it allows you to pledge a tiered amount to a project you believe in, or a Pre-Order-like project you want to see succeed! You choose the reward you wish to obtain from backing the project financially, and receive said reward when it's ready!
The best part is you pay when the BackerKit project is successful. E.g., pledge now, pay later! During the campaign, you can change/edit your pledge, even selecting a different tier if you'd like, get additional add-ons, etc. The more pledges there are, the more Stretch goals are unlocked, meaning more plushies, more pins, more accessories, and more bonuses for everyone!
If the BackerKit project doesn't meet its goal, you will not be charged. You will only be charged once the BackerKit project endsand is successful. Pledging to pre-order not only gets you a pin or plushie from a distant fantasy land, but will also support me to do more in the future, keeping this artist going.
If you can, please consider sharing this BackerKit with your friends, family, stuffed animals, real animals, distant warlocks, chess Grand Masters, or strangers on the internet!Every time you share is like having another person back the project.
A huge thanks to you for making this all possible. Your continual support makes my world spin and I hope to keep doing what I love and sharing it with people who love what I love.
