I love these sculpts, and am looking forward to a true skirmish (as few as 3 models) supported game in my rotation.
card mechanic is neat too. give it a glance.

There was a thread already actually but it's ok as it went in page 3 or 4.

It looks extremely promising and I love those miniatures. I think I am going to back this.

**Gargantuan**

Disappointed! There's only one Moonstone for me!

Looks interesting though.

I used to love that game. It always crashed so could never get to the end, but was still a lot of fun

**Lansirill**

I read through the rules and they seem pretty fun. Some card counting and bluffing for determining success.

the Goblin boxes and the Big Guys really have a Labyrinth vibe that is strong to me.. this is a Good Thing

Indeed. I'm really appreciating this launch.

Faeries have been unlocked, this is taking off fast.

nice to see they already delivered on their first (minis only) KS on time. Always reassuring in this gamble.

Pitching this to some friends this weekend. See if they'll buy a box of 3 minis if I get the rules n' trimmings.

**overtyrant**

I'm in, I really like the feel for this and I love to support the home nations. Absolutely love the Enclave and Shadow Glade Troupe boxes!

**Iron_Captain**

Some of those look like they'd fit wonderfully into a WHFB Empire army...

Faeries aren't unlocked till 21k and 24k

I'm eager to see them so I decided to back this - the whimsy has grabbed me!

Looks like a mix of Discworld and Labyrinth...

That was my first thought when I saw the title! Can't be that game right?

**Lansirill**

The first faerie set is unlocked. Seems rather likely that the second one will be done as well. I'm hoping the gnome/dwarf looking guys are unlocked, but that's more up in the air.

From their comments:

"if your getting nostalgic vibes then that's not surprising! Our art style is heavily influenced by the 80's films The Labrynth and Dark Crystal, which took their influence from an artist named Brian Froud, something of a personal hero of mine! Throw in the artworks of Paul Bonner and Arthur Rackham into the mix and you have the foundations that we have built upon. "

no wonder I love this project.

**Ian Sturrock**

The minis are gorgeous and the game looks good and innovative. I'm almost certainly in!

**Cryptek of Awesome**

Both Faerie sets have been unlocked along with a free dice bag - just 2K more for the first Gnome set.

**Alpharius**

Gnomes?!?

How did I miss them?!?

First Troupe of Gnomes are now unlocked, less than 3k for the 2nd Gnome Troupe box.

We are very pleased to announce that the Mama's Boys Troupe Box has now been unlocked and can now be chosen by backers of the 'Troupe Box' pledge level or added on to any pledge as an add-on!

Lock up your pantries, the Gnomes are coming!

The second Gnome Troupe box is unlocked. The $34k and $35k stretch goals upgrade the rulebook to hardcover, full color, and more examples and art, and then at $36k they unlock Boulder the Troll:

Lock up your daughters – Young Jack's in town!

A very good day to you Moonstone hunters!
May we suggest you keep your teenage daughters confined to their quarters for the next few evenings as the handsomest Gnome in all Tauber, Young Jack and his band of Brothers in Arms from the Gnome Militia have been sighted just north of Bumbledon this morning. Thats right, the final Gnome Troupe Box has now been unlocked!!!

This box can now be chosen by backer of the "Troupe Box" pledge level or added on to any backer's orders for £18 in white metal or £25 in resin (discounts are available for adding multiple boxes).
If you missed it, rules for the Gnomes were released just last night and you can get them here: https://moonstonethegame.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/character-cards-v9-4-gnomes-spreads1.pdf

A huge thank you to all our wonderful supporters for helping get these Troupe Box Sets unlocked, and adding a very welcome variety of play styles to the game!

**Lansirill**

Signed art card at 32k. Not terribly exciting, but a nice little something to break up the stretch from 30k to 34k.

**Lansirill**

The stretch goals were rearranged and the last model was just unlocked.

There should be a "One of everything" pledge being announced in the next day or two.

Downloaded the game and played it on an emulator like 5 years ago. Beat it in an hour or so, was allot easier than I remember and quite short as well.
Was an awesome game though

**Nostromodamus**

Nobody realized the almost 1 year thread necro?

**yakface**

Yeah, don't want to confuse people (as it is so old), so gonna lock this for now.
