Hello board game fans,
The excitement for Gen Con is building, and while the Lirius Games team is holding down the fort here in Italy, we've made sure our games are having their American adventure!
From July 31 to August 3, you can find and play Age of Comics and Timeless Journeys in Hall D (Lirius Games area), in Indianapolis. Our demo team is ready for you, but spaces are limited. Secure your chance to play by booking a session here.
🎨 Timeless Journeys Returns
The moment is here! We are thrilled to officially announce that Timeless Journeys: The Italian Grand Tour is coming to Kickstarter this September in its definitive new form.
Over the past few months, we've rebuilt the game from the ground up, starting by addressing your feedback. We heard your comments on the original art style loud and clear, and honestly, we came to agree completely. Our first attempt, in October last year, fell short of capturing the essence of a journey through Italy: the vibrant colors, the unique light of the cities, the sense of discovery.
That became our new focus: to make every component feel like a memory from that journey. We're proud to show you the result of that focus:
This rich new art style is now in perfect harmony with the game's strategic depth. With the visuals and gameplay finally aligned, we've continued to deepen the mechanics based on your feedback. One of the most significant additions are the Experience Tokens: strategic mini-events that make each meeting with a Famous Traveler more memorable and rewarding.
These events allow you to interact directly with the historical characters you meet on your journey. Will you dine with them, forge a lasting friendship, become starstruck by their fame, or challenge them to a duel?
The game is now more elegant, focused, and beautiful than ever.
We're aiming to relaunch on Tuesday, September 23rd, and the momentum is already building - nearly 3,000 people have followed the page, which is a fantastic start! Every new follower on the pre-launch page helps us unlock a stronger Day 1.
Your support has the power to carry this journey forward. If you haven't yet, click below to get notified the second we go live:
