Mycology in the news!

Hello Mycologists!

Recently we exceeded 1,000 backers! 😱 That is absolutely incredible. We're so humbled and grateful for your support! We are still working on getting some stretch goals revealed for you - our manufacturer has been a bit delayed due to the Easter holiday. We want to ensure that anything we add to the game won't affect our timeline or go outside our budget, so thanks for your patience as we move thoroughly through this process!

Mycology recently got a writeup on Canadian news site Sask Today! Click here to read the interview with designer Dr. James Scott and learn more about how Mycology came to be. 

Thanks everyone!

New Preview Video

Hello mycologists!

Thanks so much to everyone who has been letting us know about what upgrades you'd like to see in Mycology! It is super helpful, and the team is currently taking stock of and evaluating all of your suggestions. A lot of the things you'd like to see we've already had in the works, but there have been some really creative, new ideas that have got our imaginations working! (🍄 Mushroom recipe book, anyone?!)

We have a new preview video to share with you courtesy of Shea at Rahdo Runs Through! If you've been hoping for a super thorough rules video with play examples, this video is for you. Watch it below, or on the main campaign page. 

Thanks everyone for your support!

FUNDED! 🥳

Hey, mycologists! Who loves mushrooms and just funded a Kickstarter?

All 400 of you! 🫵

Thank you all so much for your support in helping us get to this point!

We are working on a few stretch goals to reveal for you, but in the meantime, we'd really love to hear what you would like to see added to Mycology! More mushroom cards? Screen printed tokens? Fancy dice? Sound off in the comments!

Retailers

We are pleased to now offer a tier just for retailers! Our hope is that this will make it easier for retailers to discover and back the campaign. If you think your friendly local game store would like to stock Mycology, send them to the campaign page!

Thanks again, everyone!

🍄 Day 1 Recap 🍄
about 1 year ago – Wed, Apr 05, 2023 at 06:57:12 AM

Hello, all you mycologists!

Thanks so much to all 300+ of you who joined us on Day 1 of the campaign! Thanks to you, we are now 75% funded! 🥳 Who thinks we can reach our funding goal today?! 😳 We've had a couple folks ask about stretch goals - we do have a few things in mind that we're really excited to reveal, but first, we just want to focus on funding!

You've already helped us out so much just by being here, but if you'd like to help the campaign in some other ways, here's how:

How To Play Mycology

We currently have 3 videos on the campaign page that give a great overview of Mycology's gameplay! We definitely recommend checking these out to get a better feel for the game. If you're short on time, Ella's video for The Dice Tower is under 4 minutes! We should have at least 1 more video coming as well, so stay tuned for that.

We have also added a link to the rulebook on the campaign page, so you can download and read it at your leisure. The game files are not yet finalized so if you have any notes/feedback, please feel free to drop them in the comments section. If you still have questions after checking out the rules, just ask!

Thank you all again for your support so far. Let's have a great Day 2! 💪
