8 Stretch Goals in 24 hours! Wishes and Tokens fidgeting
over 6 years ago – Wed, Jan 03, 2018 at 04:38:09 AM

Hello everyone, hope you are having a great day! We thank you so much for the amazing 24 hours we have had. We are so excited! We have unlocked 8 different Stretch Goals that will both add new interesting expansions and improvements to the game. 

Here is the recap of the amazing result of your support in the first day. Thank you! 

 


Now let's talk about our next two Stretch Goals! 

Heavier Wooden Tokens 

We understand that you will handle these ones less than the tiles, but playing with them while waiting is inevitable, so we rather give you a good feeling token while doing it! 

The wooden discs will be upgraded to sturdier wood to increase the weight. 


Additional Wishes 

Having more options is always good. This Stretch Goal will add four new wishes for a total of 8! Michael is already working on diversification and we should have the complete list soon! We plan on adding them on Tabletopia along side the leaves in the upcoming week. 

Thanks again for your amazing support.

Sincerely yours,
Everybody here at ThunderGryph Games

Leaves in a beautiful box! (6 Stretch Goals Unlocked - Collector's retail upgrade)
over 6 years ago – Tue, Jan 02, 2018 at 05:05:46 PM

Hello everyone,  

What incredible 10 first hours this has been! We have unlocked 6 different Stretch Goals! We will repay all your support by making the most amazing game possible!  

In this update we will reveal the next two Stretch Goals and answer one of the most asked questions.  

Additional Leaves  

We never get tired of playing Spirits of the Forest. The fact that tiles are lay out randomly creates so many different and stimulating moments of tension while tiles are being drafted.  

Adding more choices means creating even more of those moments that we love. This stretch goal adds 4 additional leaves with a different range of numbers.  

This is how it works!  

  • From one side the leaves show only an illustration, while on the other side a number that ranges from zero to three. 
  • Lay out on the table the eight leaves face down and shuffle them. 
  • Pick four leaves and place one at the end of each row in the forest, outside the board. Then, reveal the numbers. 
  • Numbers indicate how many tiles must remain on the table in that row. Players won't be able to draft those tiles. 
  • Game ends when there is no more tiles to chose. 

Not being able to pick some tiles add so many variables that our hardcore gamers will surely enjoy. Power source icons will become even harder to master and those tiles with big numbers will start to look quite limited. 


Illustrated Insert 

We want the players minds to travel into this enchanting forest as soon as they open the box. By having a cardboard illustrated insert, players will uncover the illustration while setting up the game. 


Collector's Retail upgrade 

Many backers have been asking us to upgrade their complete retail edition (which is included with the Collector's Edition) to a full Deluxe Edition. 

We found a way to do it automatically on Backerkit. Collector's will be able to upgrade their retail boxes to a full deluxe for 20€ (extra shipping for Deluxe included).

You can either modify your pledge and add the 20€ or wait for backerkit to pay it later. By doing it now, we will unlock Stretch Goals faster! 

Sincerely yours,
Everybody here at ThunderGryph Games

Spot UV and heavier tiles unlocked! Now take a wish...
over 6 years ago – Tue, Jan 02, 2018 at 11:35:52 AM

You are a force of nature and we are so thankful!

We will take the time to talk about the little expansions in an update that will come soon, but for now... 

Varnish coating on wooden tiles 

We have got the look and feel, now it is time do make them last! We wanted to give priority to this since we think is quite important to ensure a good product!
Our 43x67mm wooden tiles will get a Varnish coating to ensure durability. 


Wishes Expansion

A wish is a beautiful powerful thing, and Michael Schacht, Spirits of the Forest designer, played with that concept in the best way possible!

The Wishes Expansion will add four Wishes cards with missions to complete that players will receive at the beginning of the game.

If you accomplish majority in the "Fruit" Spirit, you will get +1 Moss and +1 Dewdrop
If you accomplish majority in the "Fruit" Spirit, you will get +1 Moss and +1 Dewdrop


This adds an interesting take in strategy since missions will be visible to everyone! We are sure you will love playing with them!

Sincerely yours,
Everybody here at ThunderGryph Games

Two Stretch Goals unlocked! Two more to go!
over 6 years ago – Tue, Jan 02, 2018 at 09:27:15 AM

That was incredibly fast! Thanks for all your love!!

Let's see what else we have in store for you!


Spot UV finish

We really like how the Spot UV Finish plays with the different colors of the illustration depending on how the light reflects on it.

We will apply Spot UV finish to the retail box, deluxe sleeve and collector's box and sleeve.


Heavier Wooden Tiles

How the games feels is always important to enjoy and improve a game experience. We want to step up the wood quality of all the tiles in the Deluxe Edition by making them heavier to the touch.

Hope you like them!

Sincerely yours,
Everybody here at ThunderGryph Games

Welcome to the centennial game! We are funded!
over 6 years ago – Tue, Jan 02, 2018 at 07:56:23 AM

 Hello Everyone!

Thank you for all your amazing support. We reached our funding goal in less than 2 hours!

During the three weeks campaign, we will engage with you all in the comment section with playful yet rewarding little games. Be sure to hop on in our comment section, the centennial game is about to start!

Stretch Goals 

As in our previous campaigns, we really love to play with both quality and additional content for the game. We have so many Stretch Goals planned for this one!

Box logo in Foil 

 

We love how foil looks in logos as we did with our previous titles. We are looking forward to add it on this as well! We have chosen different pantone colors for each version. Retail will be a medium dark brown, Deluxe petrol green and Collector's golden foil.

Leaves Expansion 

 

Players will have to place one hidden leaf per line in the forest during setup. Then players will reveal the numbers on the leaves that will indicate how many tiles must remain on the line. If a leaf shows a "2", then players won't be able to collect the remaining two tiles on that forest lane.

The Leaves Expansion includes four beautiful wooden leaves with full color heat transfer printing on both sides.

Thank you once again and welcome to the centennial game!

Sincerely,
Everybody here at ThunderGryph Games.
