Diving into the Hollow Earth

Update #8 · Jul 10, 2012 · 6 comments

Welcome back from the weekend, Racers!

We've made great progress in the past several days, breaking through $30,000 and hitting the 80% funding mark. Two weeks ago, we showed you what you'll get when we reach $40,000, and that's looking more certain than ever. You've braved the mountain peaks of Nepal, and survived the Mummy's Curse

But there's more...

This week, we want to look beyond our first goal, to the next stretch goal at $50,000 -- a promo expansion that delves into the heart of the Hollow Earth!

With this expansion, you'll be exploring new ways to use the map to navigate the Hollow Earth's underground river. Secret cave entrances will scatter around the board, giving you access to the subterranean river-map -- as well as some quick shortcuts around the board. In one mode of play, one of the game's locations will sink underground, and you'll need to travel there to collect the stamp. In another, you'll need to grab a torch, locate the secret treasure trove of the Neanderthals, and set off a fiery distraction with your jet fuel to save the day.

So without further ado, here's your peek!

      If we don't his this stretch goal, this has to be part of the first expansion... following an underground river/cave complex to find the secret treasure of the Neanderthals is awesome!

      I'm really hoping we hit this goal. This game sounds so very cool. I like how it sounds easy to learn, but in fact isn't a simple game.
