Introducing Hexcrement – AELYTRA's thrilling new board game that turns play into an adventure of fun, learning and conservation education! In the topsy-turvy world of Hexcrement, you and your friends step into the six-legged shoes of dung beetles on a daring quest. Your mission? To embark on an epic journey across the hexagonal landscapes, scouring for precious dung to bring back to your humble abode. As a diligent dung beetle, your ultimate goal is to return to your starting position with your prized dung collection. The first beetle to achieve this noble feat shall be crowned the victor of Hexcrement! But beware, for the dung-rich lands are fraught with peril and rivalry. While you scuttle through the hexagonal maze, keep an eye out for fellow beetles who may attempt to snatch your hard-earned dung. Engage in thrilling battles of luck and strategy to protect your precious cargo, and perhaps even pilfer from your competitors when the opportunity arises.
Budget Overview
Aelytra has joined forces with CoART and Longpack Games to craft an enthralling board game 🎲 that carries a vital conservation message about dung beetles and the diversity of life. We owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude to the boundless generosity and talent of CoART who have blessed us with their amazing artwork for Hexcrement, given freely in support of our shared vision. While they've waved their magic wand without asking for a dime, we dream of acknowledging the favour if our journey finds surplus treasure. We also have countless individuals to thank for playtesting the game, bestowing upon it a name (a nod to you, Dr. Scott), and providing invaluable suggestions to refine the mechanics and aesthetics of Hexcrement.
Now, let's talk treasure. To birth Hexcrement into the world, each dung-filled box demands $AUD 10 to materialise and journey to our shores. Yet our quest doesn't end there! Our intrepid dung beetles must also brave the skies of postage and handling, where AusPost awaits with its trusty fleet. For Australian supporters, the toll stands at $AUD 18.25 for up to two copies of our precious cargo, or $21.95 for up to six copies.
In the epic journey of our dung beetles, every coin counts. A noble contribution of $AUD 30 for one copy of Hexcrement not only secures your place in our tale but also gifts us with a dollar for our contingency chest—a reserve to weather any tempests that may cross our path. With your support, we'll deliver Hexcrement to the doorsteps of your friends and family, rallying an army of dung beetles to take on any ecological disaster!
No Reward
Thank you for your generous support without seeking personal reward. Your pledge will help us bring the exciting world of Hexcrement to life, providing children and families with an opportunity to learn about dung beetles and the importance of natural ecology through fun gameplay. Every contribution makes a difference, and we are grateful for your commitment to our cause. Together, we'll make a positive impact for future generations. Thank you!
