Your feedback matters!

We would like to take a moment to express our appreciation towards each and everyone of you! You are so active we cannot always keep up with all of you. Yet nonetheless be aware that, even if we did not reply to your specific comment, we surely have read it and taken it into account!

In fact, we have received tons of requests to add the three Monster miniatures as an add-on to incorporate it in the Mysthea Essential Edition. Since there were so many of you who asked about it, we decided to take it into consideration. We will contact our factory and other partners to understand all the details necessary to create this add-on. We will be back at you all as soon as we have news about this matter!

Difference between the two versions of Mysthea

We took note of all your questions regarding the difference between Mysthea Crystal Edition and Mysthea Essential Edition and we would like to enhance the fact that we are sorry about how most of you feel about these differences. 

We want to reward all the people who have been there since the beginning of this journey which is the creation of what today we call the Mysthea Universe. Those people supported us and were right there when we launched Mysthea. For this reason the Mysthea Crystal Edition was a unique first print run that can't be replicated in the same way, but we created the Mysthea Essential Edition because we want everyone to be able to enjoy this great game that is Mysthea.

Do not worry, though, other than the difference in the number of Monster miniatures and their related cards, all other differences are completely cosmetic and the playability in Mysthea Essential Edition won't be affected, it will be the exact same experience.

We understand your concerns, but on the other side we have to take into account backers that could feel betrayed if we were to offer exactly the same product that they helped create a year ago. Please keep also in mind that is our intention to keep offering a reward system, and backers that will pledge in Icaion, will be entitled to unique rewards in our next projects as well as having a unique version of Icaion. 

10 Reference Cards

Heading back into Icaion, tonight you wrecked a lot of Stretch Goals, the first one being these useful 10 Aid Cards! Those cards that won't leave your side during the gameplays and they will help you to better remember each action required!

Another Wonder!

We now have another great Wonder Miniature and Card: the Parasite Colony, enjoy!!

Double Layered Division Boards

A different type of Stretch Goal now, with this one you will get Player Board slots with Dual Layers. This way all your machines and the Qoam you gathered will be firmly held in place during the gameplay, with everything fitting neatly in its slot. 

First Social Stretch Goal!!

Wow, we reached the first Social Stretch Goal, guys! 200 subscribers on our BoardGameGeek page, that is a success!! Now you will get the Downloadable Scavenger 3D model, available here. But hey, we are really close to also unlock another one too, so don't forget to go on our BGG page to become a fan and subscribe! Click here to visit Icaion BGG page!

Now to the next Stretch Goals, with your amazing support we can surely do it!!!

WE DID IT!

We cannot express how much excitement we are feeling right now! The goal we set was reached in the blink of an eye and we could not ask for better supporters!!

Icaion is really gonna happening!

Now to the Stretch Goals... and beyond!

Now that we hit the first milestone there is nothing left to do other than keep climbing and go further and further: you deserve the best possible version of Icaion, so let’s go, guys!

This is amazing, we already hit the first Stretch Goal and now you will get: improved Card Core! All the cards will feel better in your hands, durability will be increased, and looots of games will be played neatly! 

Oh, boy, we reached the second Stretch Goal as well! The next one you got is 2 more Specialized Gears Cards! With this interesting improvement you will be able to increase the combinations for each character by increasing their powers, how cool is that? Lots of new possibilities!

Just hit the third Stretch Goal: you will have the Outsider Seeker miniature with its card!!! We cannot keep up with you guys, you are unbelievable!!

As a cherry on top, like in Volfyirion campaign we will be having a Weekly Reward for our most active backers! Each week we will be rewarding the backer who showed more interest in the comment section: their face will be portrayed in a card by our leading artist Travis Anderson, so bring it on!

This is just the beginning of this journey: stick with us, it will be worth it!! :)

Wow, we cannot keep up with you all! Tons of Stretch Goals have been unlocked earlier than we expected! We are mesmerized by your constant presence and support, THANK YOU!

Transmogrified apparatus Tiles

Now we have also the Transmogrified Apparatus tiles! The back of tiles will have different values!

All Components with Linen Finish!

Furthermore, here is another cool upgrade: all components have been upgraded to linen finish, so the cards will be easier and smoother to shuffle when played and they will consequently be more durable! 

3 New Curio Cards!

We also have unlocked 3 new Curio Cards, you are amazing, keep going, guys!

Next, the Transmuter Miniature, we are almost there!

Transmuter Miniature unlocked and a little insight!

We have reached another great Stretch Goal, shocker how the unlocking was quick so far!!

This miniature comes also with its card, special rules, and 5 colored bases!

It's all about Reputation in the world of the surface. Seekers spend their lives looking for the day they might be able to increase their status and reach an upper class. Amassing a fortune in Qoam is the old way... but Seekers understand that the time has changed and sometimes things must be done a bit differently. Their status must be acknowledged by other Seekers too, not just by the Organization. Wonders are the perfect embodiment of wealth, knowledge, and madness.

Wonders expand the experience of Icaion bringing on the table a new set of rules.

Wonder Miniatures are kept on the side of the board until they enter in-play. Players may spend a considerable amount of resources to build one in a region. When a player builds a Wonder, they immediately score a whole bunch of Reputation Points. Furthermore, when a Wonder is "activated" a special effect takes place. Some Wonders directly affect enemy players, while others grant you bonuses.

Predetermined setups!

Also we hit the Predetermined set ups in the app! During the phase 6 of the set up the players will have to fill all the map and with this Stretch goal you all will be provided with different types of set up already predetermined and you won't need to spend a lot of time to decide which set up you want to choose.

We are so proud of what we have accomplished so far and it is all thanks to you, guys!

Now here in Italy it is time to head to bed, but please keep it going, we know Icaion will be in good hands for the night! ;) 

Good night folks!

See you tomorrow!
