Dear Explorers,

The end of this campaign was one of the most incredible moments for us as a boardgame publisher. With more than 16’000 of you, Darwin’s Journey is our most successful game and campaign to this date.

We really want to thank all of you for your incredible love for the game!

To all the press that helped us with their videos, all our testers, and extended family of retail partners and colleagues, this incredible outcome is also because of you all.

As a final thank you to end this campaign, we have a truly special companion that you will probably recognize. Thank you for keeping the excitement alive during this campaign!

What’s next?

We will update you at least once per month on the progress of the project, but during February 2021, we will start explaining how to use the Bazaar and complete your pledge,  letting you know which items will be available to purchase.

If you have any questions, just let us know by commenting on the project, or by using the KS message feature that will be available for the whole month of February, or even via our contact form.

We wish you all the best and we look forward to talking with you again soon!

Sincerely yours,
Everybody here at Thundergryph Games

LAST 24 hours - It is not over! Our end of campaign surprises
about 5 years ago – Fri, Jan 29, 2021 at 03:02:56 AM

Dear Explorers,

We cannot thank you enough for all the excitement that you have shown for this campaign. We love interacting with you in our comment section.

We have spent three weeks together, taking notes of all your observations and shaping this game along with you. We are reaching the end of this fantastic journey that we will keep close to our hearts.

Our end of the campaign gift

You have been asking for it and we want to reward your love and support by unlocking this companion card as our last gift for the campaign!

This very special Charles Darwin accomplice will also keep you company in your adventure to the Galapagos. The ability is still taking shape and we will reveal it soon.

Stretch Goals, now it’s time to wrap them up

You have unlocked both goals revealed yesterday in less than a day!

We have been enjoying the campaign experience immensely and many of these goals were created by you. We want to close the campaign with a couple of new surprises that you have been asking for and that we believe to be a good end to an awesome campaign!

The first being a collectible exclusive to this campaign. We will include a second HMS Beagle in all of our Collector’s pledges with a silkscreen print effect, as a token for you to remember that you were part of this Journey.

Finally, a goal dear both to you and to us. Veronica Emer from Meeple Music has been creating soundtracks for our games to accompany you while playing. Darwin’s Journey will be no exception and we are proud to present a soundtrack for this game too!

You can listen to previous soundtracks by visiting Meeple Music on Spotify or on her website.

We are just 500 followers away from unlocking the social goal that can be found at the end of our Kickstarter page! You can visit the following links to help us unlock it:Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Twitch

Small change to the live stream schedule

Tonight we will be live on the Mishi Geek twitch channel at 10:00 pm CET | 4:00 pm EST to play with the Fireland Expansion in Spanish.

Finally, our live stream for tomorrow, Jan 28th is having a slight change of schedule and we will start half an hour before the time announced previously. January 28th 6:30pm CET | 12:30pm EST

Tune in to our Twitch channel or visit the campaign page at the time of the streams. We will play the game, answer questions live and organize giveaways during the stream.
