On this episode of the Successfully Funded Podcast, we talk with Matt Aiken, founder of Keymaster Games and PARKS Expansion: Nightfall + PARKS Memories. In 2019, 9,781 backers brought PARKS, a board game that celebrates the US national parks, to life. PARKS is a collaboration with the Fifty-Nine Parks Print series, featuring art from over 30 artists, that brings the wonder of the US National Parks to life around a table with friend and family. In this campaign, you can pre-order a copy of PARKS along with the new expansion, Nightfall, and the new standalone matching game, Parks Memories. The national parks exist to preserve many wonders of nature, but they also harbor some of the darkest skies and clearest views of the stars. This is the reason you might hear the saying “Half the Park is after Dark.” It is the inspiration for PARKS Expansion: Nightfall. Nightfall offers a whole new year of hiking for PARKS lovers to explore. It includes 24 new Park cards that reward instant actions when visited, a new Year deck along with ways to obtain new Year Cards while hiking, plus the introduction of Camping, which grants powerful once per season actions to those hikers that do not dally on the trail.
