FantasyForm is live on Kickstarter!
🕑 Added 2024-03-12 12:48:31 +0000 UTCA rival Alchemist seeks to use their magical prowess for ill purposes. Adapt to changing events, acquire resources to use powerful elemental Forms, and defeat your Rival in this spiritual successor to our previously released Lucas Gentry game, SpaceShipped.
The first important thing is the campaign link:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/239309591/fantasyform
WHAT WILL BE IN FUTURE PACKAGES?
Supporters of levels including a wallet game ($18/$28):
FantasyForm with the Frozen Over expansion will be offered as the Featured Game in an upcoming BGotMC package.
Button Shy Supporter ($5) and Digital Only levels:
The links to the PNP files for FantasyForm with the Frozen Over expansion will be shared here at Patreon.
SpaceShipped and the SpaceShipped expansions will not be in any club packages. The previously released SpaceShipped Debts & Damage, The Dynasty Seal and Out of Route expansions are being collected to form the SpaceShipped Expansion Collection. If you already own these, the EMPTY SpaceShipped Expansion Collection wallet is available as a campaign add-on at Kickstarter or from our website.

As a member you will receive a discount, and all of the details are below. Any questions, just ask either in the comments here or on our Discord server.
Here's how to pledge at Kickstarter as a US/UK member
For this campaign, we will NOT be using a pledge manager for US or UK backers. You will need to calculate the amount to pledge based on the reward you wish to receive.
Choose the $1 Board Game of the Month Club Members reward level and adjust your pledge amount by adding bonus support. Find the reward level that you would like in the table below, then add the cost of shipping and subtract the discount for your patron level to find out how much to pledge.
Here's how to pledge at Kickstarter as an INTERNATIONAL member (not US/UK)
For this campaign we will be using Gamefound’s Pledge Manager again. Simply pledge for FantasyForm (International Only) $12 reward, do NOT use the Board Game of the Month Club Members reward. Choose any add-on content you wish to include with your pledge, and you’re all set. You will be able to upgrade to a higher reward level in the pledge manager if you wish to.
Shipping will be collected in the Pledge Manager, and your club discount will be added using your email address to link your Kickstarter and Patreon support. The items pledged for at Kickstarter will be transferred to your cart in the Pledge Manager and you will be able to finalize the content of your reward there, adding any games from the Button Shy catalog and making an additional payment for content and shipping if required.
When the Pledge Manager opens, if you do not see the credit, we will be able to update it manually; this will most likely happen if your Kickstarter name and email address is different to your Patreon name and email address. Please email buttonshyhelp@gmail.com when the pledge manager opens if you need us to apply the credit to a different Gamefound account.

Alchemists study the secrets of transforming their bodies into powerful elemental forms capable of impossible feats. A rival Alchemist seeks to abuse this ability for their own gain. Push your skill to the limits and defeat them before they reach their full power.
Each turn, you must resolve two Encounters: the leftmost Encounter for its Outland event and the next one in sequence for its Forge event. These Encounters may earn or cost you valuable Shards or Essences that can be spent later to acquire helpful Upgrades. You may instead be forced to make a difficult choice or even take damage as you pursue your quarry.
Next you may buy and sell any Essences from the Ethereal row (using the prices shown on the rightmost Encounter card) and/or spend your Shards on Upgrades. New Upgrades replace any previous one of that type. Artifacts and Companions add powerful abilities and increased damage against the Rival.
Forms offer the most sweeping changes to your character: not only do they introduce new abilities and attacks, but they also determine your maximum health value and impact certain Encounters. Forms are also necessary to face the Rival, an important consideration as each turn advances the clock that brings you and them into direct conflict.
While there are cards in the Ethereal Row, you may continue exploring by progressing each row: discarding the rightmost Upgrade, moving and flipping the rightmost Encounter card to take its place, and then moving and flipping the rightmost Ethereal card to become a new Encounter.
But once the Ethereal Row begins to run out of cards, the Rival acts. If they don’t have an elemental form, they’ll gain one from the discard pile, powering up their attacks. Otherwise, they’ll deal damage directly to you. Assuming you survive this initial strike, you may spend Shards to deal damage in return. Damage inflicted persists if the Rival is not defeated, though there are only so many chances to win: each time the Rival acts, they tick down the number of actions they have remaining. Deal sufficient damage to the Rival before they use their last action to secure victory!
To try the game and enjoy the glorious artwork on your tabletop right now, you can download the preview PNP here:
FantasyForm Preview PNP Files
The Frozen Over expansion is included with all pledges. It introduces 6 new multi-use cards which add multiple elements to the game. Master the new Ice Form, wear the Cloak of Fog, hire a Scout to help you navigate, and more. Some of the new Encounters also allow for limited manipulation of the Ethereal Row, giving players an additional factor to consider as they race to defeat their Rival!
There are so many more details on the Kickstarter page. Head over there for everything you need to know.

Ahh missed this 😞 Sods law I notice it as I'm trying to make sense of what on earth I pledged so many weeks ago as they don't seem to record it on the kickstarter. 😅
Tony Jones
@Richard Hicks Just an FYI but SpaceShipped and the expansion collection are available directly from the BS web site now as pre-orders. I ended up canceling my KS pledge and just buying it directly from the web site as I was able to use my patreon discount and get it for a few dollars less versus buying on KS.
Christopher Stuetzle
Do members have to add the stuff they want *as* add-ons?
Tony Jones
You're more than welcome my friend! Glad to be of help!
Richard Hicks
Ah!! Thanks for the explanation! Was super confused. Right off to pledge I am! Thanks again.
Tony Jones
You don't have to get FantasyForm. For BGOTMC, just pledge using the $1 club level and choose any add-ons, like the SpaceShipped expansion collection. I made a similar pledge, getting just the empty expansion wallet since I already have all the expansions and a copy of the main SpaceShipped game since my current copy is rather worn from playing it so much! 😊 Hope this helps!
Richard Hicks
Ah okay, i'm just interested in the expansion, rather than the fantasyform.
Tony Jones
You can purchase the SpaceShipped expansion collection as an add-on over at the FantasyForm Kickstarter.
Richard Hicks
Is the spaceshipped expansion collection going to be available for purchase at some point? Or should I instead buy the individual expansions now and the empty wallet?
