Kiwi Tribe, what a great start!

Kiwi love to be fed, and by doing so, they grow. 

Just like your support is making the campaign grow, already unlocking two Stretch Goals: Asymmetrical Player boards (Double layered) and Embroidered Cloth Bags! The first two steps to reach the fully stretched game! 

Let's take a closer look:

Cloth bags for kiwifruit and domain markers will have their logo! Design not final* WIP
Enable unique abilities to combine with kiwi leaders, and receive different bonuses for placing kiwi tokens. *Work in progress

We intend to deliver not only a beautiful game, but also a fun game with a lot of depth and replayability. So stretch goals will not only be exclusively for components upgrades like the embroidered cloth bags. 


Speaking of the replayability factor in Kiwi Chow Down; some reviewers asked for more options, "The more the better" they said. In spite of the base game having enough meaningful choices, we agree with them and Kickstarter allow us to build together a better game. We can conclude "the MOST the better".


The asymmetrical player boards will let you play with a specialized strategy focused on movement, building, feeding, a balanced experience, or even better, a combination of both. Players board will be double sided and when we reach 2541 backers count, a fifth player board with a new strategy will be available in a new unlocked add on! Remember that number is meaningful and it has a chicken secret.


You want more replayability and depth? Don't forget the Power & Goal expansion. It will open even more options for your gameplay style.

This expansion is a free gift to all backers in "Early Bird" tiers and "Kiwi +" reward tiers. Once Early birds are gone, it will be available as an Add on in the pledge manager.

Have you seen the upcoming SG? It's a big one!!! Some kiwi in Kiwi Island say Musgo is a kiwi leader with eldritch powers... is that possible?

Which is the Musgo leader ability?

Kiwi Tribe, we believe we can feed the campaign and reach this 3rd Stretch Goal still on Day-1. What do you think? Leave us your thoughts in the comments!!!

Kiwi Tribe: Welcome to the Kiwi Island! Funded in 1 Hour
almost 3 years ago – Thu, May 06, 2021 at 01:50:32 AM

Dear Kiwi Tribe, we have no words for your amazing response! The campaign has funded in 1 hour! This is the best start for any project in our group. Thank you so much! We promise you this journey will be unforgettable! 

Let's the Kiwi Chow Down begin!

A journey full of surprises

The first step is done, the campaign is funded and now we'll push for the Stretch Goals. As we already said, we want to deliver a fully stretched game, so, looking your amazing start, let's feed, grow and explode this game!

What comes next? We'll be showing the Stretch goals in the upper side of the campaign page.

Do you want a different strategy with each character? This will be possible very soon!

What we will be doing during your pushing the SG time? Ruben has prepared the Power & Goal expansion. Yes, the one included in the Early Bird tiers and in the combo packs (we read your comments and it was a mistake in the rewards caption, all the limited combo packs include the expansion for free). This expansion will add a lot of playing options and we will be talking about this in the updates.

In the same meal, there will be new Season Cards and more cards for the Solo Mode.

Tons of replayability are coming!!!

That's great, Don't you think? We want this campaign to go nuts, so, we'll be revealing free additional cards everyday according to the Stretch goal progress. What do you think? Now is even greater? You will go nuts with the cards we have to show you. So stay tunned!


But wait, those cards are not enough! We told you there will be a bunch of surprises right? We will need your help for the next type of cards. They're almost the worst locked secret in the Creature Kingdoms, so we count on you for the polls for the crossover cards.

Pro Kweeeep Tip: Did you already look at the secret 2541 and 4227 stretch goals?

Are you still hungry? Ok ok, we have more to show you. Have you already begin feeding the Community Goals? We want all of you to change your Kickstarter name to "Feeding (or growing... or pushing... or exploding..or backing) Kiwi Chow Down. 

For the other goals, remember you need to include the hashtag #KiwiChowDown in the Social Media and share with public settings so we can find your posts. What will be unlocked? For each couple of Community Goals reached, you will get a new type of card: An alternate leader card with a new ability. Some reviewers said the leader activation is the real chow down in the game. Can you imagine you could choose your preferred ability for your favorite leader? Help us to unlock as many as possible!


Wich will be the next ability for Skully?

So, let us stop writing, it seems you will reach the next stretch goals and we are still feeding this update.
