Board Games on kickstarter
The single problem with kickstarter is that in time there will be no more game stores where one might hold the product, playtest it, and then overpay for it. But remember- its not just the money payed- its the loss of a gaming haven. We need such places in out communities.
Kickstarter is great- but all the best extras usually come with the sale of the base game. Kickstarter must offer a mediocre package that will not kill the brick and mortar stores and still offer all the neat extra stuff to backers. Perhaps two like value packages at some midrange price point- one with the game and one without, but with all the extra goodies.
The obvious problem with this, is Kickstarter projects may not be fully funded. So this solution may not work at all. But some compromise must be reached soon or we will be losing our local gaming havens…
