Welcome to the Crowdsourcing Mornings segment! Every weekday morning, Geek Alabama talks about and features one crowdsourcing project from crowdsourcing sites such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and others. The hope with Crowdsourcing Mornings is to feature and help a project be successful and reach its fundraising goal. Please enjoy today’s featured project!

Diatoms is a stunning, puzzly, tile-placement, pattern-making game where you create your very own beautiful mosaic out of single-cell algae.
In Diatoms you take on the role of Victorian naturalists who practice the real (though obscure) art of creating microscopic mosaics. Explore the algae waters, collect shimmery diatoms, and arrange them on your luxurious dual-layer microscope slide board. Art and science may be their own reward, but if your mosaic pleases the judges the best, you’ll also collect the first place ribbon at today’s exhibition!
Diatoms was honored to win the 2023 Cardboard Edison award for best unpublished board game. We are excited to be bringing this award-winning, beautiful, thinky game to your table!

As of October 23rd, this project has raised $50,000 of their $21,000 goal. This project has 3 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $12, you will get one digital version. For a pledge of $45, you will get one physical game. To learn more and to pledge money, go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ludoliminal/diatoms?
