Going to check out Kickstarter but I am not likely to fork over the money.

We visited friends Friday and played some party games. We played Sequence, Identity Crisis, and Pit. We also manadged to get in a few games of Agricola as well.

Bought at Gencon. Tons of hype there for this game.

Played it a few times now and it is fun discovering the combos between the different decks. My wife likes re-animating King Rex with the Zombies.

Could be quite the franchise if they continue to support it with expansions. It seems like they have planned for quite a few releasing a box with a ton of extra slots in it.

I am hoping to play Fleet this weekend but I am not sure because my kickstarter copy hasn’t arrived yet. I suppose that if it doesn’t arrive we will play some Dominion and Village with some friends instead.

Games we bought and didn’t play yet. Domaine is one that should see play, if the wife is in the mood. Dominion: Dark Ages might be a possibility as well. Tichu definitely.

I have backed a few projects on Kickstarter. I have done research and read up on the games and the goals that they had set and I then checked out reviews or the rules. Then I judged their stretch goals and decided whether they were worth becoming involved for or if they had just tacked on stuff that should have come with the game to begin with.

To date I have backed 4 successful campaigns, and I have received two of the 4 games, the other two are not through production yet. I have been satisfied with my experience but I do my research before I commit any of my money especially with a pay first in order to maybe get something eventually sort of system like Kickstarter.

I would caution people about getting involved with too many projects or projects with high dollar investments required. It seems too risky when even in their terms it doesn’t specify that the project will necessarily result in the finished product.

Also many of the games are brand new and while they might sound cool and have a tremendous Kickstarter page with videos, reviews, etc that doesn’t garrantee that the game itself will be a fun or engaging game. It is kind of a pay first, get a game kind of approach, and I avoid that in my local store, if I can’t first try a game or read reviews on a gaming site like this one then I am less likely to pay my money.

Voted. Good luck.

No games this weekend, I am going on a golf trip.

I had a ton of fun. We always do the cheeseweasel quests.

Liked your booth, wish I had won a prize…
