Description

From the introduction:

Here, dozens of hidden preserves around the world shelter all the creatures of magic whose habitats have been destroyed by humanity. Fairies, goblins, centaurs, perytons, leprechauns, trolls and giants and more. All bound by treaty not to leave, or to much bother each other. So a preserve is a place of hidden beauty and wonder, but also a place with dark places even the caretakers dare not venture uninvited.

Quotes (from this video)
  • I feel like you really screwed the pooch on a missed opportunity of selling this board game because you have two very different board games.
  • Your stretch goal section feels like just a like oh wait, they added to it now. Oh cool. Shirts.
  • The most generic boring ass shirts we COULD POSSIBLY MAKE.
  • This just feels completely unfocused.
  • You did a great job bringing your crowd here, but quite frankly, you have millions of poor millions of people who are your crowd.
