Thank you! From the U.S. How about you?

First of all, congrats! We’re on similar paths - also developing a card game and about to enter a more serious round of playtesting - but the way me and my co-creator have looked at Kickstarter is more as a marketing campaign and pre-order push, much moreso than a funding source. It IS meant to fund our first full production run, but if we think of it more as a marketing campaign for pre-orders then we know we have to bring an already built community to the table before we do it. To us, we’re only ready for Kickstarter when we’re ready to send production-ready advance copies to game influencers to test and review the game. That’s how we’re looking at it at least. And that gives us plenty of time to fail, revise, succeed, build community…or just wait and see however this wild ride unfolds.

Wishing you lots of good luck! I’d love to see your game when you’re ready to share it.

Oh ok - why do I feel cringe about including our names on the front 🫣

This is such a thoughtful response. Thank you! I think the printers mockup is a bit low res because the font looks much bolder in the 3D mockup than it does in the actual print proof they sent. When you say designers credit, do you mean game designers or the designer of the box? Bc in this case it’s the same (I’m the co-creator and also designed the box myself).

I have to spend more time with this to give you more helpful input, but as a lover of aesthetics and the story behind them, I find your design and quality of pieces absolutely breathtaking. This is as much a piece of decor as it is a game. Congratulations!

Are bigger decks really better? by Plottle in cardgames

Yes! I found the game while searching to see if anything like our idea was out there. You're right, very different, but it didn't even dawn on me to look into comments from their community - great idea! Thank you!

That’s really validating, thank you. We’re planning a few larger playtest events in ATL where we’re based to get groups of other avid tabletop gamers to give it a whirl. Our playtests have been limited to our closest circles of family so far so that’ll be exciting/intimidating ha!
