DAY 8 - Last Stretch Goal set reveal
about 4 years ago – Wed, Mar 11, 2020 at 02:52:21 AM

Hello Travelers!

We are entering the 8th day of the campaign and we couldn’t be happier about the love you have shown for this line. You have funded the game seven times and you have unlocked almost everything we have imagined for these games. Thanks for making this campaign so special!

In this update, we are wrapping up the Stretch Goals with the last set that we really hope you will enjoy. Thank you for being so awesome and showing so much enthusiasm for the Stretch Goals shown so far.

A new set of Stretch Goals

We are adding a new set of 5 stickers for your inner completist. These stickers will represent each one of the games, to make sure you have something satisfying to determine a check mark for every game completed, ready to be placed on your traveler’s passport or suitcase.

Seasonal Lag is a phenomenon in which air temperatures are slightly delayed during a season. With the addition of these 6 new Lag cards for 15 Days, you will be able to spend a Feather token to add a Lag card to the game to allow all players to play as many Season cards of the same number as the number shown on the Lag card for free. This mini-expansion will add new choices to boost your score in each season.

Your support has been amazing and we want to end this campaign with a goal that will make your collection shine. We will be adding a foil finish to all of the game logos in the boxes.

Once this goal will be unlocked, you will have completed everything we had planned for the line to produce it in its best shape and to make it as fun and interesting as possible. Thank you so much for your incredible support. This line is dedicated to all of you.

Talk to you in tomorrow’s update!

Sincerely yours,

Everybody here at Thundergryph Games

DAY 7 - Traveler’s Passport and new Homunculi illustrations
about 4 years ago – Tue, Mar 10, 2020 at 02:38:34 AM

Hello travelers!

A new week has started and we are coming close to the last days of this campaign. We are so pleased to see that you guys unlocked a total of 18 goals so far, of which 3 for the Limited Edition, and we really want to thank you all for your support and for all of the passion shown for our collection in the comment section! You really jumped on board and helped us out on making this line a reality, we couldn’t be happier.

Tonight at 7:30 PST, Game Spotlight will be streaming Golems from the Matchbox Collection. Make sure to tune in to their Facebook group!

 Tabletop Simulator

If you enjoy playing digitally and you own Tabletop Simulator, you may want to explore the Matchbox Collection over there. You will find an automatic setup for both solitaire and multiplayer versions of the games.

 New set of Stretch Goals

Every Journey is accompanied by a bunch of experiences and memories. You will be able to keep track of your achievements and take note of all the best memories you’d like to cherish once the journey is over, so when you look back on it you will have something to refer to and smile.

This Passport will include pages for each game to track your score throughout time and an index of all the achievements in the games.

If your inner completist is not satisfied yet, we are offering our five Achievements Booster packs as an add-on for 10€. Once you complete the achievements, open the booster and discover your reward!

If you are interested, you could add funds to your pledge or wait until our Thundergryph Bazaar will be open to add them to your order.

Food is always tastier with spices and that is no exception to this game! We are very pleased to introduce the Spices mini-expansion for Space Lunch.

Players will be able to trade three different Beverage cards for a Spice card. A secret token with a powerful ability will be granted. An example of a token ability could be: converting a triplet to a pair at the end of the game.

The collected Spice card will remain in hand along with the Beverage cards and will obstruct your hand management.

We really like the small homunculi in Rebis and we know you like them too! By unlocking this Stretch Goal, we will add 10 new homunculus illustrations to the game. We know this is something that will make you smile during your games and will definitely enrich the vibe and the art of the cards.

Thank you so much, once again, for all your support and we hope you are enjoying the journey.

Sincerely yours,

Everybody here at Thundergryph Games

DAY 5 - Stretch Goals and Thundergryph Bazaar
about 4 years ago – Sun, Mar 08, 2020 at 12:17:43 AM

Hello travelers!

We are almost halfway through this campaign, and we love the way the Matchbox Collection is taking shape. Thank you all for your continuous support and help in making this happen.

We would like to thank the people who attended our live streaming yesterday and a big shout out to the ones who played Space Lunch against Francesco Testini! If you missed the live stream, you can watch it online here!

The live streams from our team are over, but Board Game Spotlight will stream on March 9th and Man vs Meeple on March 11th.

If you would like us to do one more live stream, let us know in the main comment section on Kickstarter including your preferences regarding time (please include your time-zone as well).

New Set of Goals

In just four days, you have unlocked 15 different Stretch Goals ( including 2 exclusive to the Limited Edition) that will improve how these games look and their gameplay. We are excited to reveal the next set of Stretch Goals.

When we thought about the suitcase concept it immediately came to our minds how amazing it would be to be able to customize it as you want.

Introducing the Traveler’s Stickers, to make your Traveler’s Suitcase unique! We are starting with 3 different stickers created by Paolo Voto, and you can decide how these will look!

You can comment on this update any idea that comes to your mind. We will collect the most original ones and the most requested ones and will show you the result very soon!

We really love putting extra tactile and visual features to our components, the whole experience changes when you have some real satisfying bits to play with. There is something really special about this frosted effect and we couldn’t be more excited to unlock it!

We are introducing a mini-expansion for 15 days that contains 5 new Feather tokens that will completely change the pace of the game. Each player will start with one and will get a new Feather token every time another player steals a Wooden Animal from them.

You can use the Feather token anytime during your turn to apply any Animal ability of your choice to your current action.

There have been some questions in the comment section about what will happen after the campaign and how will we handle the pledge manager.

We are glad to introduce the Thundergryph Bazaar, powered by Backerkit.

From now on, this will be our way to refer to our pledge manager after the campaign. Around 21 days after the Kickstarter will end, you will receive an invite from Backerkit to join our Bazaar.

Here you can find all the different things that you will be able to do:

• Pay for the shipping cost of your pledge, if you haven’t already;
   
• Access to a limited quantity of our past Deluxe editions, like Tang Garden, Iwari and Spirits of the Forest;
   
• Access to a selection of released retail titles, like Hats and Rolling Ranch, including the different promos for each game;
   
• Shape the future of our mini-expansions that will only be printed if we receive the minimum number of interest.
   

All of the backers pledging towards the campaign will have access to the Thundergryph Bazaar.

Thank you so much, once again, for all your support and we hope you are enjoying the journey.

Sincerely yours,

Everybody here at Thundergryph Games

DAY 4 - Play Live with us and new set of Goals
about 4 years ago – Sat, Mar 07, 2020 at 01:03:39 AM

Hello travelers!

We want to thank everyone for the previous 3 awesome days of this campaign! You have unlocked 11 Stretch Goals so far. In our last batch of Stretch Goals, you unlocked the metallic ink for 15 Days, the Zero mini-expansion for Rebis, and we introduced the Limited Edition score-tracker board and standees for Rebis as a work in progress.

We are very happy to announce that Paolo Voto has concluded the score-tracker board and standees illustrations for Rebis now. You can finally see their finished look, we really hope you like them and that you will find them useful during your gameplays.

We hope you are enjoying the journey as much as we are. Improving the games as we have imagined is very rewarding to all of us! Feel free to jump in on the comment section for any suggestions or even just to say hi!

It’s time to unveil the next set of goals we have for the campaign.

New set of Stretch Goals

Introducing the Playmat Carrier to make sure you are ready to pack your full Limited Edition Matchbox Collection and take it along with you wherever you want, in a practical way.
A few of you asked whether the Traveler’s suitcase could be big enough to place the playmats inside, to take them on the go. We definitely want you to be able to travel comfortably with your playmats, so we thought it could be practical to have a separate storage for them, to leave the choice to you on which components of the Limited Edition pack to carry on your next journey.

The artwork of the Playmat Carrier is still a work in progress, we will share the final result with you as soon as Paolo Voto completes the artwork. The mockup used is just for reference.

Upgrading the Solo Mode coin to a completely new different coin model to give a great new look and readability to the game. This coin will already include the black wash coating as unlocked previously in the campaign.

Adding 4 Yamabushi enemies that will fight against you side by side to all the rest of the enemies, making you struggle to stay alive and gain honor points by appearing in the field of battle in a completely unpredictable way. These menacing mini-bosses will completely change the way you play in Eiyo.

 Interactive live stream: Golems and Space Lunch

Tonight (March 6th) at 8pm CET / 2pm EST our team and Francesco Testini, game designer of Golems and 15 Days, will be live streaming the gameplay of Golems and will be playing Space Lunch with you. Everyone in the chat will be able to vote on which card to draft on each turn. We will be giving away some add-ons among the ones that you can find online and we will be answering all of your questions regarding the campaign.

Make sure to follow us on Twitch to be notified once we are live!

We hope to see you there!

Sincerely yours,

Everybody here at Thundergryph Games
