We're less than 24 hours to the end of our campaign! We're so very thankful for your support. We've smashed our goal and have been able to add some extras that will be a lot of fun. Speaking of which...
Squishy Jellies in range!
Our next goal is at $40k and we're within striking distance! If you want the squishy jellies, make sure to back before it's too late! If you don't want the squishy jellies, don't worry, if we reach the goal we'll give you both so you can choose which to include in your game.
We're very excited to be able to bring the bunnies to you. We'll have another update tomorrow with our final total and our next steps. See you on the other side!
Campaign's Final Days

Thanks to your support, we have exceeded our expectations and are looking forward to adding the unlocked extras to the game!
Unlocked Inlay 🔓
Based on your feedback we'll be designing the inlay to house tuck boxes to store each character's components. We'll also be looking at making sure it has room for at least 9 characters so you can store the expansion in the same box, and room for card sleeves if that's your thing.
With our last few days we're pushing to get to the next goals. Let's get those squishy jellies! (Should the jelly goal be reached, everyone will be sent both types so you can choose which to include with your game.)
Next Steps Head Start
We have already been working on what comes next. Jaime has been working on our pledge manager setup and will be working directly with BackerKit to ensure a smooth transition when it's time for that stage. Additionally, Sandy has already crocheted 20 amigurumi bunnies, a few of each, though we'll have to wait until the backer survey results to know how many of each to make.
Darcy's hard at work making new art that will be used for various bits. While the core of the game is done, there are some bells and whistles that she'd like to add, and the expansion needs to be caught up to speed. She's also at BGG.Con in Dallas this weekend. We don't have a booth but if you are there and see her, she'd love for you to say hi!

We're happy to say that we've passed the 25k stretch goal which lets us now focus on some of the big ones we have in mind. The 30k goal is one Darcy has been wanting ever since we got an early prototype. Next on the list is an upgraded inlay!
Instead of boring cardboard we're going to put together a nice storage system. We've heard your requests and will make sure it has room for all of the characters, including the expansions, as well as room for sleeved cards. The image below is of that old prototype which we're looking to make better.
After speaking with the manufacturer we have two options. We can split the slots from 6 to 12, or we can make two rows that fit tuck boxes that are designed for each character. The latter will give you a way to quickly pull out all the pieces for your character without worrying about them jumbling in the box when on the move. Which would you prefer?
In the meantime, we're laying out what is further along. There's still some really cool stuff we want to get done. At 35k we'll have new artwork on the inside of the cover. At 40k we will include a set of squishy jellies that you can use to replace the originals if you prefer! The squishy jellies will be a Kickstarter exclusive and only available to backers of the campaign.
We're so excited to be able to produce these extras. We can't wait to unlock these and share the next cool things we have planned.
Faces for player tokens unlocked!

First Stretch Goal Unlocked! 🥳
Hi everyone! Wow it's been such a great first week. I'm happy to announce we've surpassed our first stretch goal and will be shipping copies of Amoebunnies with their cute little faces on them!
Our next goals are a 1-2 punch at 22.5 and 25k that will get UV Spot Coating on the box to make the bunnies shine on your shelf, and thicker cards for all of the decks in the game with texture to make them feel better in your hands!
We're planning a really big one for 30k, let's go!
Amigurumis SOLD OUT!
We've already received a shipment of eyes and have ordered more yarn. Five Cams have been made and we're starting on some of the others. If you ordered the All-In package and know which bunny you want, comment to let us know so we can get a head start on yours!

When we launched this campaign, we weren't sure what to expect. We were definitely hoping for the best, but preparing for anything.
Thanks to your support we blew by our funding goal in only 69 minutes! After 12 hours, we have reached 240% funded with 178 backers! We are humbled by your enthusiasm and excited that we get to turn our attention to the next phase of the campaign.
We are going to prepare some stretch goals that will make Amoebunnies just that extra bit more special. Every goal we reach will be applied to everybody's pledge. We've seen so many of you sharing the campaign with those you think might be interested, so definitely keep that up and we can get some really cool things in the box.
We have sold out of the all-in tier with the amigurumis, but have decided to increase the allotment to 50. If you wanted one but couldn't get one, now is your chance. You can edit your pledge if you like. We will not be increasing the amount again.
