Natural phenomena have had an odd behaviour lately, seasons seem to have been disrupted and animals are migrating in the wrong direction.
The 24 East Asian traditional solar terms are out of sync.
Your seasons must find their alignment so the sun can find its route again and set the order right among all living things.

Menace is approaching you. There seems to be a way out, but as a Samurai your first move is to reach for your weapons. Your basic instincts to run and hide have dissolved since the only option left is to fight for your honour.
You are a rock and will hold tight, fighting the opponents face to face, using your weapons until the the very end.
Eiyo is a fast paced game where you need to strategically manage your weapons to defeat hordes of enemies. You will need to survive the attacks while gaining honour points that will be crucial at the end of the game.

Take ThatPush Your LuckHand Management
After relentless days spent diluting solvents and heating liquid mixtures in vials, the air is damp, while the old and overused books stored in the library of your laboratory smell of humidity and dust. The end of the day is approaching and you have just found the perfect transmutation. You decide to stay a little longer, but you know the candles will stay on until they consume completely.
Rebis is a 1–4 player game. To win, you have to play your alchemistic ingredients wisely in order to brew the best elixirs and find the right time to brew them to get the most points.

The multiverse has spoiled you given the vastness of incredible places and creatures to meet and observe. You smell spices from miles away, your pores dilate, your gills tickle and your three stomachs are growling like an echoing symphony. You get to the source of the tasty fumes faster than a ray of light, your taste buds start working as a glowing sign shows up on the horizon: “Serving succulent food and spicy, quenching potions during satellite setting hours.”
Space Lunch is a 1-2 players, short, set-collection game. To win, you need to grab your preferred dishes before it’s too late by choosing Food cards from the table. However, beware! Your opponent might interfere with your plans.

Card DraftingSet Collection
The new surface of Earth is at its most bleak appearance. It may seem completely infertile and arid, but on the horizon promising mountains of mud and clay arise higher and higher. Golems, the magical mutable creatures, are being summoned with synergies among the resources of the earth.
Golems is a card collection game where you can use every card in two different ways. You have to decide whether you want to boost your Golem for victory points or save the resource to summon further Golems.
With the use of Gems and special Runes you will be able to maximize your strategy to become the best Golem summoner.

Wow, the artwork is great! I will go all-in <3
I’m glad you liked it, Ricky! Thanks for your support in advance 😀
I’m so excited for this!! 15 Days is exactly the theme & type of game I love!! 😄💙
I’m so glad, Carly! Thanks for your continuous support!
I really want to have all of them on my collection.
The price of the bundle will be very competitive! I’m glad you liked them 🙂
Any Thundergryph kickstarter is an instabuy 🙂
You are too kind, Dan!
A collector’s dream, really nice artwork!
That’s so nice of you, thank you Mattias!
What is the anticipated price per game, post-Kickstarter?
Hello! We will reveal the pricing when we launch our campaign. It will definitely be very competitive!
I could use some quick play games at my table. Very interested
Will surely check this out! I loved Hats and these ones seem pretty as well!
Thank you Andrea!
When you say match box… what size do you mean?
Box size is 12cm x 8cm x 5cm
This looks really interesting. What are the dimensions of the matchboxes?
Box size is 12cm x 8cm x 5cm
Love the artwork.
Gracias, es lo único que puedo decir. Absolutamente emocionado con vuestros juegos.
These look beautiful, but I’d love something else in the images to show scale. Always looking for new, portable games to take on the road.
I’m buying a new pair of cargo pants for these!
Great idea, looking forward to see the full collection
This looks great! Can’t wait for the Kickstarter!
Thank you very much for your message and your support!
Great idea with the match box games. Probably an instant back from me 🙂
I have a lot of games and don’t need more, but I sometimes make exceptions for games that are short, all ages, and don’t take up much space… So I’m keeping an eye on this.
Great idea for travellers
I think Space Lunch and Eiyo look the most intriguing to me!
Thank you
Looks interesting. Any word yet on pricing or how many games support solo play? Thanks!
Hello James, thanks for your message. All the five games support solo play. The pricing will be a big suprise!
A collection of small games is great.
Seems amazing
This looks amazing. Those will be perfect on our game nights.
Looks very intriguing – will definitely check it out
Amazing artwork ! I will go all-in to !
Do you know if it will be possible to take Iwari Deluxe in the pledge of this KS of matchboxes? I stupidly passed my turn and I’m sorry.
Wow! Can’t wait to see the campaign!
Great looking games, looking forward to learning more.
These look fantastic!
15 Days looks very nice. Lite games like these are so much easier to get to the table than the 2-3 hour big games.
Love the idea of these little games and can’t wait to find out more 🙂
You keep waiting for more Thundergryph games and then 5 come along all at once. Happy days!
Intrigued to see how all the games differ
Como siempre un gran trabajo. Estoy dentro
Fingers are crossed for these! My shelves are already full of Thundergryph games, so I need these to keep it going!
So excited for 15 Days!
Thank you Kate!
These look awesome. Great art too. And I know I’m always looking for a game I can toss into my bag for a quick time killer when I’m out. These look perfect.
I sure hope these ARE tiny boxes because all your games are an instaback for me (and all those Tang Garden and Iwari boxes are going to take up a lot of S P A C E !! 🙂 )
oh, my poor wallet…
Short games for our Boardgame-Team – Super Nice 🙂
Really curious about these. I will be checking out the Kickstarter.
Seems to bridge the gap between micro games from places like Button Shy and the Tiny Epic series. These look great for impromptu play; Tiny Epic games tend to be really fiddly and aren’t great for spaces that are less game friendly like bars.
Hi! Your project looks very cool!
Usually the ThunderGryph are too much over-produced and I can’t afford them in the end, I hope these ones will be more price-friendly in this regard!
Thanks for making these games,
Z.
Looking forward to checking these out.
These games look really fun. I can’t wait to play Tang Garden.
great idea, fantastic art
I enjoy the games and the attention to detail you guys put in your games. I’m looking forward to seeing more of this matchbook collection.
I love everything about this, this looks like an insta-back all-in for me! It´s small games (I love card games specially) that play in 20 minutes with the beautiful artwork and components Thundergryph is famous for, yay! And I appreciate the detail you always include in each KS campaign for your loyal followers, great! : ) Maybe there will even be additional rewards for returning backers and early bird backers like it happened with Iwari (one can dream).
Andrea here, eiyo designer. Thank all of you for your kind comments. It is a pleasure to be in this collection, thundergryph is a place to call home. Hope you will enjoy the ride
I hope you are considering a retailer pledge!! 😉
