If this excites you, you can back Cultivaria on Kickstarter now. When you pledge on Kickstarter you don't pay upfront- the money only comes out if we reach our funding goal. Likewise, the game will only be printed and distributed if that goal is met.

Resources: Cultivaria includes 74 plants and animals known through the archaeological record to have been eaten by people in the deep past. Each of these resources includes a hand-drawn illustration and an archaeology fact.

What success in Cultivaria looks like depends on many things, including the landscape your community lives in and the cultural tradition they start with.

Love doing illustration for cool environmental orgs, here’s a recent commission from some local Victorian conservation groups (Vic National Parks, Wildlife of the Central Highlands and Aus Dingo Foundation) for an upcoming dingo education day.
