We are in Mausritter Month’s final stretch, just 4 days left to back Mausolympics and all the other amazing projects out there. What are the latest development updates coming from Olympia?
Actual play
"Absolutely loved it. I love the simplicity, the elegance in the game design. Love how [the sports] are exciting, they play fast. You don't want these things to drag on, so it's just the perfect length. Super cool."—Andre Novoa (Junk City)
"This takes Mausritter and turns it into a board game that you can just play at a party [...] This is just legitimately a board game with your characters. I absolutely love Mausolympics."—Matthew Morris (Rolling Coast)
Last week, fellow mice Mathew Morris (Rolling Coast), Andre Novoa (Junk City), and Diogo Barros (Soul Food) played half of Mausolympics’ sports live. Watch them triumph (or epic fail) here:
Demo available
In case you missed it, a free demo is available. You can play 6ft Hurdles with your group: full rules, the game board, and a tracking sheet are included.
New minis
Francisco Lemos (Tales from Behind the Ferns) is working on the remaining paper minis. Here you have a look at two new athletes: a confident mouse looking at their rivals and a rat (a first timer in the Mausolympics!).
The triathlon
Are you in the 25% of Mausolympics backers who have not backed Flights of Fancy yet? Do it and get the Feathertail Triathlon for free!
I’m working on the Flights of Fancy collaboration, the Feathertail Triathlon. This week, I’m developing and testing an alpha version, trying to make it different from the six sports in Mausolympics. It will feature a game board with three segments:
Fly through the checkpoints, hinder your opponents
Jump through the branches, use the ropes
Swim against the river current, if you have strength left
Testing a one-on-one race
This is it for today. Remember that you have 4 days left to back and, if you already did, spread the word and tell more people about Mausolympics and Mausritter Month.
