Finally, a KS I could back. And much of it comes down to this:
Risks and challenges
Production of the game is simple: it's just a card game, so other than building the box it's a relatively straightforward product to make. The biggest challenge for us could be fulfillment. (which we're addressing by working with our pals at Cards Against Humanity). None of us want this to be a campaign where you spend the next two years getting fifty emails about production updates and delays. We want you to back this project, and then within a few weeks of the campaign ending you'll get your stuff in the mail. This is why (for now) we're not offering t-shirts or other complicated reward tiers that would make the distribution process take a lot longer. We're keeping it as simple as possible: support our project and in return we'll send you the playable game. Short, sweet, to the point, and not filled with bright, shiny objects that have nothing to do with getting the project completed.

Well this was a topic of conversation on the CoOptional Podcast (TotalBiscuit, Jessie Cox, Dodger, and Quill18), so it's probably no wonder they exploded.... They (TB & them) have gotten feedback from some sites they reference that keep going offline due to traffic when mentioned on the podcast and profusely thanking TB and his talk show, so....

It's already the most funded tabletop game. Awesome.

If we collect 20 000 USD more, we'll construct and bundle a holodeck with the purchase!

I <3 The Oatmeal.
besides having the oatmeal, weird card games like this seem to be pretty in, so... holy fuck they've raised over 3 million for a card game.
