Dear Explorers,

We hope you are all doing well and that you are enjoying this journey with us. We recently have unlocked a goal and we are two goals away to reveal our next batch.

Tabletop Simulator news

Tomorrow we will be publishing an update with the Solo mode rules and updating the Tabletop Simulator version with both the Solo mode and the automatic setup for our introductory scenario if this is your first time playing.

Our Darwin’s Journey Tabletop Simulator module has been installed more than 2000 times and more than 500 games of 2 to 4 players have been played, making this our most successful digital implementation yet! This is just amazing!

We are working on a special tournament that will be happening during the campaign. More information will be released soon!

Great Ship mini-expansion

Since the Companion animal cards, you have been so excited about the possibility to have more asymmetry in the game, and we are so excited to announce the Great Ship mini-expansion!

Created by Simone Luciani and Nestore Mangone, the deck is composed of 11 Great Ship cards. Each player will draft one in reverse turn order during setup and will grant very powerful asymmetric abilities to the players!

This mini-expansion will be available as an add-on for 5€ and you will be able to add it on our pledge manager once the campaign ends.

We will be hosting a live stream show tomorrow Jan 15th at 7:00 pm CET | 1:00 pm EST where we will be exploring the Galapagos by using this new mini-expansion.

We will be explaining the rules as we go, and you will be able to see the fantastic combos that can be done by using them.

During the live stream, we will be giving away some add-ons and Luis will be reading the chat to answer any of your questions live.

Tune in to our Twitch channel or visit the campaign page at the time of the stream. We hope to see you there!

More press videos

Yesterday, Steph Hodge did an amazing live stream of Darwin’s Journey that we really recommend you to watch!

Moreover, here are a couple of new videos from the press: a one minute video from Sarah Shah and our first how to play video in French by Rémi Benoit

Thank you very much for all your incredible support and talking again tomorrow!

Sincerely yours,
Everybody here at Thundergryph Games

Great Ships mini-expansion is now a Stretch Goal
almost 4 years ago – Fri, Jan 15, 2021 at 03:07:01 AM

Dear Explorers,

If you scroll down until the end of our campaign page in our Risk and Challenges section there is a list of the most important principles that as a boardgame publisher and Kickstarter creators we believe in: We learn, we hear you.

We have read your comments in our update and KS page about adding the Great Ship as an add-on and we understand your point.

There are a lot of people involved in the creation of game content, not only the idea that starts from the designers, but there is art direction, game editing, and a lot of testing to be done. That being said, without you, none of these could be possible and we need to stay true to the importance of your opinion as the people that are funding this dream of ours.

We have had similar content on past campaigns and all of the add-ons have been crafted with the same amount of dedication and passion as the one we presented today, but we completely understand that you would prefer content like the one shown on the Great Ship to be a stretch goal instead of paid content for this campaign.

We sincerely appreciate how amazing the campaign is going and we are thankful to all of you for your support. We are officially switching the Great Ship to be a stretch goal that we are now updating on our Kickstarter page.

Thank you for being honest with us and for helping us shape this campaign as your own and for being understanding.

We hope to see you tomorrow in our live stream, where we will show how this mini-expansion works!

Sincerely yours,

Everybody here at Thundergryph Games
