Hi Louie! Sorry I couldn't find a personal DM for this... is it possible for you to check pricing for Australia fulfilment using VFI Asia? They are usually a lot cheaper than fulfiling from the US yourself and they also service other surrounding for similar lower shipping prices... so this would result in more backers!! Australia is big on STEM learning for schools and this hits so many targets (especially with 3D printing and multiple crafting kits) and I'm trying to share this with as many teachers that I know... but locking in a lower shipping price would be the icing on the cake! I am IN for the full crochet pack to finally learn to crochet (thank you!!) BUT can you also tell me how many dinos are included in the stl files for 3D printing? Also re other stretch goals - is there any way to have a solo mode do you think with the game? Like meeting certain objective cards before reaching the other side? I was just thinking it would be a great quiet re-regulating activity for overstimulated ND brains due to the tactile nature of the crochet dinos, the colours and variety of materials can be used each time for your dino... and the spatial puzzle your brain is trying to work out. I know the 2nd players adds a level of unpredictability... but a solo player could have an objective card where they are having to complete say 3 objectives BEFORE reaching the end otherwise they dont win... it could incorporate making 1-2 specific polyomino shapes with the opponents lava tiles, having to have at least one square of the polyomino be orthogonally adjacent to one of yours etc (so you can't pile their lava cards out of your way or something)... things like that? OR... you could be building a continous path the dinos CAN walk on instead (like "the floor is lava" game... where maybe you have x amt of turns to make the safe path to the other side by pulling unknown tile one after another from bag place it to build a pathway to the other side. If you pull a lava tile you have to place it sequentially in your path and it will block your dino unless you pull a bridge tile to place over it (or stone tile that is already in the game?)...other tiles are 4 way tiles so you can continue to build your pathway from there if no stone tiles yet (like pipeline type game and rest of board is lava and lava tile is also lava. If restricting the smt of tiles pulled from bag per round - could have rule that you can pick up tiles from board once dino has walked over them, and re-lay them in front of him, but if you get to a lava tile then no more tiles can be picked up from that path (but you can pick up and use the bridge?). Just... thoughts... It's such a great board to build your own path for solo... and I kinda like the idea of reusing tiles from behind to use in front of you in a converter belt style, especially if you're limited with a certain amt of left, right turns and lava blocks stay... but anyway. I thought they could be on the back of the current lava tiles to reduce another set to be printed... but just thinking out loud. The main thing was VFI Asia for Aussie shipping if possible please! Thank you, Caroline. I'm also a solo player so yes I'm interested in this when other players aren't here... but the first thing I thought was its something I would want to touch and squeeze when I wasn't feeling the best and something my brain could concentrate on to focus away from negative spirals... I'm newly diagnosed 35+ F so board games are really helping me currently, but can see how this would help as a solo activity to focus more on pattern matching for your dino... or also as a quick 2P game to either during a task switching break to "ease in" to the next task. Anyway sorry long post! Caroline. Thank you! Caroline.
