Unlocked: The stories that time forgot
With this stretch goal, every player board will reveal a richly woven origin story on the reverse, transforming each of our 7 hunters into a living legend and adding a new layer of discovery to your Kryptothera adventure.

Unlocked: The hidden truths of Kryptothera
This stretch goal unveils the game’s secret lore, beautifully laid out on the reverse of the board, transforming it into a gateway to the world’s forgotten past and untold mysteries.

Unlocked: The hunters' true potential
This stretch goal unlocks unique abilities for each character, tailored to their background, temperament, and hidden talents. Each skill adds a new layer of strategy and asymmetry to your crew. Play your game, your way.

Unlocked: The cryptic path
This stretch goal adds a secret storyline hidden within the game. Clues scattered across cards, artwork, and flavour text reveal fragments of a mysterious society known as the Legendary Order. Will you decode the puzzle?

Unlocked: The mini-legacy campaign arc
This campaign unfolds across multiple sessions, no stickers, no destruction. Your games become chapters in an evolving narrative. Each time you play, you check for progression triggers, and when the time is right, parts of the expansions seamlessly enter the story. The deeper you go, the more the world reveals itself.

Unlocked: The ultimate endgame story
Etched inside the game box lies a hidden puzzle. If discovered, it unlocks The Legendary Order Plan: a secret betrayal path that allows one player to abandon the race for points and steal victory through alternative means.

Unlocked: The shimmer of prestige
With this stretch goal, every copy of Kryptothera will feature stunning gold foil detailing, capturing the glint of forgotten treasures and transforming your game into a true collector’s artefact from the exclusive first print run.
