Jadlam Rewards FAQ

How do I sign up for Jadlam Rewards?

Existing customers: Click on the Rewards icon on the bottom right of your screen and login into your account. 

 

New customers: Create a Jadlam Rewards account to start earning points and redeeming rewards! Make sure that you are subscribed to our newsletter to get a first look at new arrivals and sales!

 

How do I start earning points after joining?

You’ll receive 10 points for every £1 spent and will be rewarded for engaging with us on social (for example: liking us on facebook or following us on Instagram!) Additionally, you'll receive points on your birthday! Be sure to check the Jadlam Rewards Dashboard on the bottom Right of our screen for all the ways to earn!

 

How Do I check my points?

Simply log into your account on jadlamracingmodels.com and click on the Rewards icon located on the bottom right of your screen. Your balance can also be viewed on your account log in page!

 

Do my points expire?

Points will only expire after an extended length of inactivity. In other words, as long as you continue to earn (or spend) your points, they’ll remain in your account. And don’t worry, we’ll give you fair warning (via email) if your points are going to expire.

 

Can I have multiple accounts or transfer points to another account?

No, you can only have one Jadlam Rewards account and one login. Only one account will be associated with your points and you cannot combine email accounts.

 

How can I spend my J Points?

You can spend your J Points whenever you have saved enough to buy a Reward, e.g when you have 1000 J Points you can purchase a £5 coupon that can be redeemed on your next order. Click on the Rewards Icon in the bottom right side of the screen and choose "ways to spend". When you have agreed to purchase a reward you will be emailed a unique coupon code to enter into the checkout upon purchase. 

J Points cannot be combined with another coupon code or be used with a store credit payment. Once you have purchased a reward, you must use that reward coupon in a single purchase; it will not carry a remaining balance.

 

I’m having issues in my account, who should I contact?

If you're having technical difficulties or have confusion over how the points system works, please contact our customer service department at support@jadlamracing.com

 

I placed an order; how long will it take for my points to be applied?

Your points will be allocated once your order ships, so check back and watch those points pile up!

 

Are there limitations on earning points?

Reward points are eligible on product prices only; shipping, and purchases made with a gift card or account credit are not eligible to earn rewards.

 

How do the coupon codes work, do they expire?

Once you've earned a reward, it will remain in your rewards account until you're ready to redeem it. Note, each code is single-use and balances cannot carry over. 

 

Cosmic Encounter

Eons ago, your ancestors searched the black void of space for intelligent life. The search proved fruitless; they were alone. Desolate, they used their technology to send the seeds of life to inhabitable planets. They waited, but gradually over the millennia they faded into nothingness. However, over millions of years, alien races slowly evolved.

To aid their children, your ancestors left behind a legacy of advanced technology and hyperspace gates. They meant these gifts to encourage communication and harmony between their children. Now, without the guiding touch of an elder hand, you and your distant alien cousins must learn to communicate, negotiate, and coexist.

Welcome to the Cosmic Age. The open skies of countless worlds are filled with speeding spaceships, and a panoply of alien races is competing to populate the galaxy. In the quest to colonise as many planets as possible, there are as many paths to victory as there are alien races seeking it. Peace, war, negotiation, betrayal—you never know what will happen in the next encounter.

1 -2hr Playing Time | 3-5 Players | Age 14+
Cosmic Encounter is a game of interplanetary colonisation and cunning negotiations. Each player takes on the role of the leader of an alien race seeking to colonise as many planets as possible. The first player to colonise five planets in other players’ systems wins. But even planets that are not yet colonised are still defended, and in order to establish a settlement, you’ll need to win over the race that controls that planet—through negotiation, partnership, or war.

The core set includes fifty alien races, each with its own history and powers. You may be the leader of the genteel and thieving Filches, sensitive and oozing Amoebas, sneaky, infesting Parasites, or self-sacrificing Kamikazes. Your powers may enable you to quickly travel through space, prevent your defeated ships from falling into the Warp, or let you to look at another player's hand before you decide your next move. Each alien has individual strategic tools and a specific play style that shapes all of its encounters.

Make Friends - and Enemies

Destiny decides the location of every attempted colony. It may be in the system of a dire foe or long-term ally. You can ask other players to support you, but be careful! Even your allies have their own agendas. Will their participation mean that they advance, while you struggle behind? Or are you cunning enough to use the alliance for your own benefit?

When all the ships have reached their destination, you may decide whether to fight, negotiate, or morph and mimic whatever your opponent does. Alien powers and Reinforcement, Artifact, and Flare cards can also be played at this time to affect the outcome of the encounter. Finally, you and your opponent resolve the outcome. You may win and get to establish your colony, or you may be defeated and have your ships sent into the Warp. You may win a battle and still lose ships or cards, you may gain more through negotiation than you would have through fighting, or negotiations may fail with dire consequences for both parties.

The Infinite Cosmos
Cosmic Encounter offers you and your fellow aliens several variants for gameplay. Should you desire, a game can be shortened or lengthened by requiring fewer or more colonies. Tech cards can be integrated, which give each player a specific objective. Once accomplished, the Tech card becomes a useful asset that you can use later in the game. Players could also choose to conceal their alien powers until the moment they are used, or rotate which alien races they control and become a new alien every round.

With its numerous alien races, Flare cards, Artifact cards, and gameplay variants, Cosmic Encounter truly offers an infinity of gaming experiences. It is easy-to-learn for younger or less experienced players, but has enough variety and strategic complexity to engross even the most experienced board gamers.

Amass your fleet, form your alliances, and dive into the vast galaxy of this classic game!
