DAY 3 - Gameplay videos and new stretch goals
about 4 years ago – Fri, Mar 06, 2020 at 01:53:33 AM

Hello travelers!

We are very pleased to share with you some exciting progress for this campaign. So far we have revealed nine stretch goals and we are very curious to see how this collection will keep on taking shape along with your help and support.

Rhado Runs Through the Matchbox Collection

Richard Ham from Rhado Runs Through has done a two-players run-through of all 5 Matchbox Collection games for us, which can be found in a single playlist. This is one of the best ways to explore the collection and understand the strategies behind each game. We hope you will enjoy watching them!

New set of Stretch Goals

We are introducing four homunculus standees and a score-tracker board for Rebis in the Limited Edition. This goal is immediately unlocked.  Paolo Voto is working on the final artwork that we will show very soon!

 There is something really special about the metallic ink effect. It is subtle but stunning at the same time. It has been three years since we have used this effect on a game, so we are very excited to unlock this one!

The tempo in Rebis is one of the most interesting elements of the game. These nine cards will aggressively break the tempo and drastically change the way you play Rebis.

 Gameplay live stream 

Yesterday, our team did a live stream of 15 Days, Eiyo and Rebis. Thank you very much to all of you that joined our stream, we had so much fun and we can’t wait for tomorrow’s live stream!

Thank you once again for your love for this line and we hope you are enjoying the building up of these collections as much as we are!

Sincerely yours,

Everybody here at Thundergryph Games

DAY 2 - New stretch goals and live stream schedule
about 4 years ago – Wed, Mar 04, 2020 at 11:34:16 PM

Hello travelers!

After a year since our last KS campaign, we launched the Matchbox Collection yesterday and we are extremely happy and grateful for your support and positive feedback from day one. The project was funded around the first hour of the campaign and we are just amazed by your continuous help shaping our games.

 New set of stretch goals

We are so excited that you have unlocked five very important goals for us. In our first update, we mentioned the first set, but overnight we revealed the second, and so far only one goal from the second set is still waiting to be unlocked!

Another important improvement to the durability of the games is having robust boxes. We are glad this one has been unlocked so fast.
We have come full circle by unlocking this goal since Fukushuu was the name that Andrea Sbragia, Eiyo’s game designer, gave to the first version of the game. This new Boss card, upon being defeated, will add two enemy cards in the opposite rows. A final wish that will become deadly for you.
It is amazing how even the manufacturing process of boardgames is blooming with innovation. This was a dream we had and we can’t be more excited to be so close to unlocking it. With this goal, the golden and red mixture tokens will have a small plastic gem inside the bubble, which will be upgraded to resin.

 Live stream schedule

If you haven’t seen it in the campaign, we have scheduled a live stream along Board Game Spotlight and Man vs Meeple.

Tonight (March 4th) at 8pm CET / 2pm EST our team will be live streaming the gameplay of 15 Days and Eiyo. 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.

Join us as Paolo Voto, the illustrator of Rebis, will be drawing live a special surprise for the limited edition bundle while we play.

Make sure to follow our Twitch channel to be notified when we go live!

Thank you very much for your support and see you in the comment section!

Sincerely yours,

Everybody here at Thundergryph Games

Live streaming and new set of Stretch Goals
about 4 years ago – Wed, Mar 04, 2020 at 11:04:21 PM

Hello travelers!

We hope you are having a great day so far. We are very close to unlock the latest Stretch Goal revealed, and that is amazing, thank you all for your support!

Stream is live, come join us!

Luis, Brad, Pier, and Gon will be live streaming the gameplay of 15 Days, Eiyo and Rebis. 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.

Sadly Paolo Voto can’t join us today for the stream, but we will be able to give you updates on his drawings very soon!

New set of Stretch goals

The coupon in Space Lunch is one of the most valuable pieces in the game. The added foil will definitely give it that extra touch to make it look as precious as it is.
This new time Golems will really improve the way you build up your engine in Golems. We are sure you will find them useful on more than one occasion!
There is something really special about adding a wash to metal. We really like how it brings out a lot of details. With this goal, all of the coins in Space Lunch and Eiyo will have a black wash coating.

Thank you once again for your love for this line and we hope to see you in our live stream!

Sincerely yours,

Everybody here at Thundergryph Games

The Matchbox Collection is funded! Stretch goals reveal.
about 4 years ago – Tue, Mar 03, 2020 at 11:10:27 PM

Hello travelers!

We are really blown away by your support. You funded the Matchbox collection in 90minutes! After a year since our last campaign, we are extremely excited to share these 10 days with you to shape these games together.

We hope you will enjoy this journey!

Stretch Goals

Revealing the Stretch Goals is always so fun, and we don’t want to keep you waiting!

This line was created to be carried along wherever you travel or go to, that’s why the durability of the components is so important. By unlocking this goal we will improve the card quality of all five games to Ivory Core, 310gsm.

We are continuously surrounded by sound, and it is always traveling along with us. There isn’t a better way to start this campaign than by summoning the Sound Golem!

In Golems, Sound Golem cards can be used as wild Golems when summoned or can be used as a resource under any of your resource columns. You can only have one Sound Golem as a resource and it will be considered as one of the resources of the column under which it is placed. The Sound Golem, used as a resource, can be moved to any column at the beginning of your turn.

This stretch goal really changes the way you plan your strategy in the game, and we are very excited to unlock this shapeshifting Golem!

The Wooden Animals mechanism is one of the most interesting in 15 days. We really think the wooden pieces are very satisfying bits, but we wanted to do something special with them. With the lineart made by Mateusz Mizak, the animals will really become alive!

We really want to thank you so much for following along and make sure to visit our comment section to chat with us!

Sincerely yours,

Everybody here at Thundergryph Games
