HOW YOUR PLEDGE HELPS

Fast Pasta™ has already been designed, prototyped, and extensively playtested. This Kickstarter campaign is focused on bringing the game into production and delivering it to backers.

Funding from this campaign will primarily be used for:

• Manufacturing and production
• Freight shipping from the manufacturer 
• Fulfillment and packaging
• Artwork, graphic design, and final production files
• Kickstarter and payment processing fees
• Contingency planning for unexpected costs

As a first-time creator, I've worked hard to build a realistic funding goal that reflects the true costs of producing and delivering a high-quality game. My goal is not only to fund Fast Pasta™, but to do so responsibly and transparently.

Every pledge helps bring Fast Pasta™ from prototype to tabletop.

MEET THE CREATOR

Hi, I'm Maryam, founder of Tastensi Games.

Fast Pasta started when I tried to buy my pasta-obsessed nephew a board game for his birthday. Surprisingly, I couldn't find one.

So I decided to make one myself.

What began as a simple birthday gift turned into months of prototyping, playtesting, and refining. After countless games with friends and family, Fast Pasta became something bigger: a game people kept asking to play again and again.

Now I'm excited to bring it to tables everywhere. Launching on Kickstarter is the next step in bringing that idea to life, and sharing it with more families, game nights, and pasta lovers than just mine.

FUTURE OF TASTENSI GAMES

Fast Pasta™ is the first game in what I see as a growing Tastensi Games universe.

While this campaign focuses on bringing the original game to life, I’ve also been developing future variations designed for different play styles and audiences:

🔴 Fast Pasta Fiesta

A more chaotic, party-style version designed with spicy sabotage mechanisms. Faster decisions, more interaction, and even higher energy gameplay for game nights that get l

oud and competitive.

🔵 Fasta Pasta Jr

A simplified, family-friendly version designed for younger players. It keeps the core fun of Fast Pasta™ but makes it even easier to learn and more accessible for kids and families.

Both versions follow the same core philosophy:
 

fast to learn, fun to play, and highly replayable.

This Kickstarter is focused on launching the original Fast Pasta™, but these future versions represent the long-term vision for Tastensi Games as a growing line of simple, social, and highly replayable experiences

READY TO RACE? FINAL CALL TO ACTION

Fast Pasta™ started as a birthday gift for one pasta-loving kid—but I’d love for it to become part of your game nights too.

Now it's ready for game nights everywhere.

If you'd like to help bring Fast Pasta™ to tables across North America and beyond, I'd be honoured to have your support.

Back Fast Pasta today and join the first serving. 🍝

Hasta la pasta, baby!
