Our games typically take around a week to a month to arrive. This is because we ship them using the postal service and not a courier service. Therefore, it can take a while to reach overseas, especially places far away like Brazil or Australia. Please have patience, and if you have questions, feel free to email mikibaumgart@gmail.com
If you’ve ordered tracked shipping on your Disastles game, you will receive a tracking number by email once we’ve sent your game out. Please use this link: https://www.dhl.de/de/privatkunden/pakete-empfangen/verfolgen.html to track your shipping.
Disastles is a complex game but due to the size of our cards we had to minimize text as much as possible. Further the game is built to work with long complex chains of card interaction. This page exists to offer answers to these questions, straight from the designer of Disastles. If your question hasn't been answered yet you can use the form below to submit your question and we'll answer it here.

Enter your question here:
Does the Treasury effect apply first to a vaults base value or does the market effect apply first?
Hi,
The Treasury applies first. The Treasury says “your vaults are worth one more treasure”, which is a modification to the vaults treasure values. The Market however simply doubles the values the Vaults have, allowing you to efficiently stack the effects.
Getting both the Market and Treasury at the same time is a great way to earn a lot of treasure!
Thanks for playing Disastles!
I have several questions regarding rotating cards. Can you rotate cards only 90° or as much as you like (if so in- or excluding 360°). Is it allowed to rotate a room in such a way that it looses all connections and has to be discarded or does the room have to keep at least 1 connection?
Hi,
You can rotate cards as much as you like in 90° steps. So 90°, 180° or 270° (90° in the other direction).
No it’s not allowed to rotate a room in such a way that it looses all connections. That would be breaking placement rules and you’re never allowed to break placement rules. Your room has to retain at least 1 connection.
A few more questions from BGG:
Have some questions about certain cases of card placement and connection points. I'll write my assumptions below the images, hoping someone can clarify .
This is allowed because the bottom right card is rotated and does not touch the top right card.
No, this isn’t allowed. Functionally the cards are considered to still be next to each other and so the room in the top right currently has a connection point line up with a wall.
This is allowed because neither of the two bottom cards have connection points facing each other.
Correct.
This is NOT allowed. Even though both the bottom two cards have valid connections to the two top cards, there is an invalid connection between the two bottom cards.
Correct.
And finally, a question we’ve been asked often:
If I rotate a card 360° does it reactivate links?
No. Functionally you didn’t rotate the room 360°, you rotated it 0°. This can’t be used to activate links again.
