Project Update: Introducing...The Castaway (Stretch Goal #1)
Hello, all!
As we go into our third day of crowdfunding, we are on the edge of our seats! Not only are we just a few pledges away from making our initial goal, but we have a special stretch goal announcement. Once we meet our $10,000 starting goal, we'll turn our eyes towards $13,000... which will unlock The Castaway, a nuanced new character (and sheet) with a unique backstory and different mechanics for gameplay!
$13,000 - LOCKED - New character sheet!

$13,000 - LOCKED - New character sheet!
- The Castaway – Twelve years ago, you and a handful of others shipwrecked off the shore near where the Sàthani reside. You thanked your god for saving you, but shortly afterwards, the Sàthani captured and enslaved you and the other surviving crew members. Most of your crewmates died or remained enslaved. You, however, found solace and peace in the Sàthani way. In a few years you gained your freedom and became the adopted son of the past Reeve, Peigi. You even married her daughter, Ennae. You now believe that it wasn’t the god of Dusia who saved you but rather the half-mad Àdatan. After all, only a crazed god would send a Dusian to help resist Dusia.
- This new character sheet arrives with new art from Samuel Araya and a special set of rules! Since this player was a Dusian, they cannot resist the Dusians directly. Instead, when Sàthani players resist, the Castaway may support their resistance. When the player chooses this action, they will remove one of their squares in place of a Sàthani character removing one of theirs.
- The Castaway character is based off the real story of Gonzalo Guerrero and his life with the Maya.
We have also added more information to the "What's New" section of our story page, which dives deeper into what you can expect from the game components. Learn more about the characters currently available with the base game set -- would you play as the Sathani town leader, a farmer, a witch, or something else? We are also excited to outline some of the features of The Blue Way Curriculum Guide, which will be AWESOME! Look for another update on that front with more details...
Last but not least, you may have noticed a new item on our Add-Ons page! We are proud to announce that we will have CMU Card Sleeves available to add to your order, so that you can protect your favorite cards with your favorite university's colors!
That's all for now -- thank you again to everyone who has pledged their support for this project and brought us this far! Let's bring it home with a strong finish, and start working towards bringing The Castaway to life!
