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.
Funny pitch. Dig it.
Did they just raise >$3 million in less than 48 hours? O.o

Wow.

That's a hell of a lot of money...

Wish I'd thought of it XD

Wow, yeah, if they REALLY only needed $10,000 they should be able to make 336 more games with all of that! That should keep them busy...
It's The Oatmeal. He raised to [url=https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/let-s-build-a-goddamn-tesla-museum--5]build a Goddamn Tesla museum. Of course a Kickstarter with his name on it would go high explosive.
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 10 000 USD more, you'll get another fully realized landmass of the size of Skyrim, filled with quests and fully voiced NPC dialogue!

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.

/reaches into wallet for credit card while mumbling, "This better not set the schedule back another few months, like it did with those 48 other Kickstarters I've helped fund..."
I thought of this when I read the subject:
