Today we wished to share a small update regarding the continued progress of Jason and the Argonauts.
Though the crowdfunding campaign has ended, much work still continues behind the scenes as we prepare the game for production.
At this very moment, we are hard at work preparing files for the manufacturer, working on the rulebook, organizing production materials, coordinating new stretch goal artwork, and continuing work across many different aspects of the game.
There are still many moving pieces upon the seas, so we do not yet have firm timeline dates to share, but rest assured, those details will be revealed as everything begins coming together more clearly.
And speaking of progress…
Below you can find a few example images of stretch goal artwork that has already begun taking shape for the game!

We know everyone LOVES the Stymphalian Birds from Hercules and the 12 Labors, so of course they had to find their way into Jason and the Argonauts....

We are incredibly excited to see these new pieces of the voyage slowly coming to life, and we cannot wait to share even more with you all in the future.
Jason and the Argonauts at Gen Con
We are also excited to share another piece of news with the crew!
The official Gen Con Preview List has now been released, and Jason and the Argonauts is on it.
Not only that, but we will also be bringing a demo copy of the game to the convention itself for Adventurers to see firsthand. If you are excited for Jason and the Argonauts, we would greatly appreciate your support by giving the game a thumbs up on the Gen Con Preview List. CLICK HERE
Every bit of support helps bring more eyes to the voyage and introduces new Adventurers to the growing legend of the Argo.
That is all for now, Adventurers.
We shall continue working diligently behind the scenes to bring this voyage to life in the best way possible. As things progress, we will continue providing updates roughly each month so the crew may follow along with the journey.
And as always, should you have any questions, please feel free to leave them within the comments below.
With only a few hours remaining in the voyage, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude. From the very beginning of this voyage, your support, excitement, kindness, and belief in Jason and the Argonauts have meant more to me than words can truly express. Watching over three thousand Adventurers gather aboard the Argo, celebrate achievements, unlock stretch goals together, and share in the excitement of this journey has been something I will never forget.
I had an amazing time running this campaign for you all, and I truly hope you’ve enjoyed this crowdfunding adventure as much as I have. I poured my heart into this voyage, striving to fill it with as much exciting free content and community involvement as possible, from the ever growing Add-On Pack to achievements, stretch goals, and exclusive rewards.
To every Adventurer who chose to board the Argo beside us… thank you.
Your support helped transform this project into something truly legendary.
From my table to yours… thank you for joining this legendary voyage.
But this is not farewell, Adventurer. The voyage may be nearing its end, yet the true journey is only just beginning.
What Comes Next?
Though the crowdfunding campaign draws to a close, much work still lies ahead upon the seas.
Thanks to the many stretch goals unlocked throughout this voyage, there is still a great deal of artwork left to complete. Beyond that, we will begin preparing production files for the manufacturer as we move toward mass production of the game itself.
Throughout this process, we will also receive physical sample copies to inspect the quality of every component, card, token, and detail within the game. Should we discover any issues along the way, revisions will be made and new samples produced until everything meets the standard this legendary voyage deserves.
The road to production can take time, but know this:
We will be working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring Jason and the Argonauts to life in the best way possible.
And as always, we will continue doing our best to remain transparent throughout the entire process. You can expect monthly updates from us as progress is made and new milestones are reached.
Soon, these legends will leave the shores of crowdfunding and make their way to your tables, where new stories, victories, and adventures await.
Until then… may the winds remain favorable, and may we meet again upon another legendary journey.
What an absolutely unbelievable feat the crew has accomplished together. Through the strength, passion, and belief of all who have joined this legendary voyage, Jason and the Argonauts has officially surpassed the mighty: $200,000 Stretch Goal!
A milestone we scarcely could have imagined when this journey first began. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all for your incredible support, trust, and belief in this project. Truly, this voyage would not exist without the thousands of Adventurers who chose to board the Argo beside us. And such a legendary feat deserves a legendary reward.
The Argonaut Lore Manual Has Been Unlocked Because we have conquered the $200,000 Stretch Goal, an entire: Argonaut Lore Manual shall now be added to the BackerKit edition of Jason and the Argonauts.
This will expand the myths, stories, and histories surrounding the heroes aboard the Argo, bringing even greater depth and immersion to the voyage itself. This is not something planned to be included in the game in future retail printings. We believe those who believed in this campaign early, and helped elevate this campaign to such incredible heights, deserve something truly special in return.
This reward shall stand as a mark of that support. A treasure reserved for those who helped forge this legend from the beginning. The Final Stretch Goals Are Still Within Reach! Now, Adventurers… The voyage enters its final days and moments. And with that comes the final series of stretch goals standing between us and even greater rewards.
For every additional $10,000 raised from this point onward, a new stretch goal shall be conquered. And as the milestones rise… so too do the rewards waiting beyond them.
🏆 $210,000: Unlock the 3rd and Final Jason and the Argonauts Sticker ⚔️ $220,000: Iphitus Argonaut Card added to the Add-On Pack 🌫️ $230,000: Fogbound Journey Card added to the Add-On Pack 🛠️ $240,000: One final Community Component Upgrade Vote ✨ $250,000: Silver Foiling added to ALL Journey Cards A truly legendary reward worthy of the voyage itself.
⚓ The Final Days Are Upon Us With such incredible treasures now waiting beyond the horizon, this truly is the greatest time yet to join the voyage.
So if you have been watching from afar as an Oathkeeper, waiting for the perfect moment to step aboard… Now is the time. If you have been considering upgrading your pledge… Now is the time. If you have yet to share the campaign across the lands… Now is the time.
For all seasoned Adventurers know the truth: The final moments of a great voyage are often when the greatest surge of heroes arrives, eager not to miss the legend unfolding before them. Together, it is still possible for us to conquer these final stretch goals before the journey ends.
🌍 A Journey Beyond the Voyage- UKGE On a final note, Adventurers. As these last days unfold, I, Mathue Ryann, shall be traveling to the UK Games Expo. In fact, we will be there the very day the campaign comes to an end. Though we wish we could host one final livestream celebration for Jason and the Argonauts, we shall instead be upon another journey, continuing to spread word of the Argo and its growing legend.
So if any among the crew shall also be attending UKGE, please stop by and say hello! We would truly love to meet you, and we can even show you a demo copy of Jason and the Argonauts itself. Booth #4-863
And during this time, we kindly ask for your patience as communication may be slower than usual while we travel. But fear not, Adventurers.
We shall return with more updates and news from the voyage as soon as the winds allow. The end of the campaign draws near… But perhaps the greatest legends of this voyage have yet to be written.
Before we speak of the newest triumph upon this voyage, we wished to quickly remind the crew that an active achievement still stands before us.
Should the Jason and the Argonauts campaign be shared 400 times across social media, the mighty Argonaut: Periclymenus shall answer the call and be added to the Jason and the Argonauts Add-On Pack.
This task requires only moments of your time, costs nothing, and unlocks an entirely new card for the growing legend of this game. Every share spreads word of the voyage to new Adventurers across the lands, helping bring more heroes aboard the Argo and making future stretch goals even easier to conquer.
So please, Adventurers, before leaving this update, use the achievement button below and help us rally to our cause!
The $185,000 Stretch Goal Has Been Conquered
Now then, We’ve done it! Together, the crew has officially surpassed the mighty $185,000 Stretch Goal!
With this triumph comes a new reward. Two brand new card illustrations shall now be added to the Sealed Envelope awaiting players who conquer the voyage itself.
What are these illustrations? Well… that knowledge is reserved only for those brave enough to defeat the game and uncover the secrets hidden within. The Fates do not reveal their mysteries so easily, Adventurer.
The Final Days of the Voyage
The voyage now enters its final days. And standing before us is perhaps one of the most legendary stretch goals yet:
$200,000 Stretch Goal: An entire Argonaut Lore Manual will be added to the game, expanding the myths, histories, and stories of the heroes sailing aboard the Argo. A reward truly worthy of this growing legend.
And should we conquer that mighty milestone… 5 more stretch goals will unlock every $10,000 all the way toward the towering $250,000 Stretch Goal.
Here is a look at all the stretch goals we have unlocked and the stretch goals to come! So if you have been considering upgrading your pledge… or watching the voyage from afar as an Oathkeeper, Now is the time to join the journey.
This legendary voyage is not yet over, Adventurer. In truth… the greatest moments may still lie ahead. The seas remain alive with possibility, and the final days of this campaign may become the most legendary of all.
Another Achievement Has Fallen Once again, the crew has accomplished another mighty feat upon this legendary voyage.
Through the strength and support of over 2,600 Adventurers now sailing aboard the Argo, we have successfully conquered yet another achievement! And with this triumph comes a new reward for all eligible backers:
The Journey Card: Homesick Shall now officially be added to the Jason and the Argonauts Add-On Pack.
The Next Achievement Still Awaits
Though one achievement has fallen, another still stands before the crew.
Our current active achievement calls upon all Adventurers to help spread word of the voyage across the lands.
Should the Jason and the Argonauts campaign be shared 400 times across social media, the mighty Argonaut: Periclymenus shall answer the call and join the Jason and the Argonauts Add-On Pack.
At this moment, the Achievement stands at:
📜 81 / 400 Shares
A challenge well within the strength of the Argonauts. This achievement costs nothing. Only a few moments of your time.
Only once this achievement has been conquered shall even more achievements reveal themselves upon the horizon.
With only 5 days remaining in the campaign, if you wish to see even greater rewards, new cards, and more legendary content added to the game, now is the time to rally the lands to our cause.
The winds remain favorable, the seas remain lively, and the legend of Jason and the Argonauts continues to grow greater with every passing day.
