almost 4 years ago
– Fri, Jul 24, 2020 at 08:27:08 PM
Dear Seraphs,
We hope this message finds you well!
Day 3 just started and you have almost reached four times our funding goal. To all of you that already tried the base game and are here out of pure love for it, and to all of you that just discovered Spirits of the Forest for the first time, a heartwarming thank you from all of us!
You have unlocked the first goal of the last reveal, having two more of this set of stretch goals left. We have 13 days ahead of us and a lot of interesting things to unlock and discover together.
Arctic Wolf
You have been asking in the comments about this mini-expansion and we would like to take the chance to play it live in our live stream today.
The two Arctic Wolf tiles will introduce a pushing mechanism in Spirits of the Forest. These tiles will replace two random tiles from the forest that will be put aside. When one of the Arctic Wolf tiles becomes available, the active player can take it for free and use it to push up or push down any column in the forest by one tile.
One or more tiles that were locked will become available, and the Arctic Wolf will be back in the forest available for someone else to use.
The add-on is available during this campaign for 6€ and it is free for all of our returning backers from previous campaigns here on Kickstarter since Tao Long.
Social Goal
At the end of our campaign page, you can find the social section where you can visit all our social channels. We are doing a social goal and so far, in two days you have gathered 306 new followers. Make sure you follow us on our social media platforms to know more about the development of this game and upcoming games.
Today, July 23rd at 9:30 PM CET / 3:30 EST we will be playing Spirits of the Forest competitive with Francesco Testini (author of the Enchanted cards).
Come and discover this new expansion and get a chance of winning add-ons during the live stream. You will also be able to freely ask any questions you may have about the game and the campaign.
Be sure to follow us on Twitchto get notified when we go live.
You can also tune in to this Kickstarter page to find the live stream directly on the campaign page at the time of the stream.
We look forward to tomorrow for a new update!
Sincerely yours,
Everybody here at Thundergryph Games

Soundtrack
You have been loving Veronica’s work on Meeple Music for Tang Garden, which reached more than 30’000 streams on Spotify in the past 2 months, that’s really incredible!
She’s back at it to create a soundtrack for Spirits of the Forest that will accompany you in any variant you may want to play. It will be downloadable and available in many music streaming services.
Thank you very much for your support and we look forward to talking with you again tomorrow!
Sincerely yours,
Everybody here at Thundergryph Games
The enchanted mechanism and the next reveal
almost 4 years ago
– Wed, Jul 22, 2020 at 03:55:45 AM
Dear Seraphs,
You are flying through stretch goals like there’s no tomorrow and we couldn’t be happier about adding all these new elements to your experience with Moonlight.
The first time Gon tried Richelieu (the original game that Spirits of the Forest is based on) it was with Francesco Testini (our dear designer of Tang Garden, 15 days and Golems).
Now it will feel like it comes full circle as Francesco has designed a new mini-expansion for Spirits of the Forest: Moonlight.
Introducing the Enchanted cards
This new set of cards will take you through very tense decisions as you will have to discard collected tiles to create the enchantment and these cards will become available to anyone to take!
At any time, players will be able to take an Enchanted card from the display by removing certain tiles from the game. The player will immediately get a one time bonus and victory points at the end of the game.
The first immediate action we are unlocking with this set is the Favor token bonus. By accomplishing an enchantment players will be able to take two Favor tokens from the discarded ones during setup and choose one to keep.
Third set of Stretch Goals
Thank you once again for your love and support, and we will be talking again soon!
Sincerely yours,
Everybody here at Thundergryph Games
New stretch goals reveal and more about the Objective cards
almost 4 years ago
– Tue, Jul 21, 2020 at 07:51:48 PM
Dear Seraphs,
We are humbled by your support. You have managed to unlock the first set of goals and we are excited to be adding new elements to the game thanks to all of you.
The next set includes the Objective cards which are needed to play the competitive game which is compatible with any scenario in Moonlight!
Objective Cards - Competitive play
While the gameplay for tile collecting and assigning works the same as the cooperative, the secret Objective cards will determine your scoring at the end of the game in two different ways:
- The Nocturnal Creature shown will determine if you will score as Shadow or Light Nocturnal Creature at the end of the game.
- Moreover, you will have to accomplish certain objectives based on the majority or minimum required Spirit quantity. The color of each objective will determine who among the Light Nocturnal Creature and the Shadow Nocturnal Creature will need to accomplish each specific mission.
You will want your assigned Nocturnal Creature to score big, but at the same time, there is a personal interest in accomplishing all the objectives related to the other Nocturnal Creature.
We can’t wait to further explore this game with you.
Second set of Stretch Goals
Thank you once again for your love and support, and we will be talking again soon!
Sincerely yours,
Everybody here at Thundergryph Games

Dear Seraphs,
No matter how many campaigns you have under your belt, launching a Kickstarter campaign is always a rollercoaster of emotions.
We are funded! Thank you so much for your excitement towards Spirits of the Forest: Moonlight. You managed to hit our funding goal in 80 minutes.
We are extremely excited to share these 15 days with you to shape this game together.
If you are a continuous backer, we are so glad to see you around once again.

Introducing Stretch Goals
This is the first set of goals for the campaign. We will reveal our stretch goals in groups of three with the last goal always being a new scenario and a new Moonlight bit shape to embark on a new collection of these tiny creatures!
Sometimes you will also find improvements and freebies for our digital app, let us know if this is something you are interested in.
Thank you once again for your love and support, and we will be talking again soon!
