Stamp Collecting on Planet Q

About this game

cassowary games inc. and the Project for Interplanetary Cultural Exchange are proud to present a port to Earth computers of the famous game Ⴑꝺ:׀Z Э⌶ᐳ:Эꝺ⌶ⵒ Э⍑ΞZ׀ (Stamp Collector Game) from Planet Q. We are so pleased to finally be able to bring the experience of this classic Qzian game to the people of Earth.

We've tried to present the game as authentically as possible, but we have edited the game slightly to provide some English text describing the controls. We hope that this alteration is understandable.

CULTURAL NOTE: On Planet Q, postage stamps are radioactive and cannot be touched directly. As such, "stamp collecting" in their culture has a different connotation than it does in ours.

We hope you will enjoy the game!
