Welcome to Episode 8 everyone! This episode is a special one and different from our segmented platform so that we can bring you something that we had a lot of fun putting together. With Kickstarter and other crowdfunding sites becoming a large piece of the board game industry and have shaped how games come to market, we have enjoyed sharing some of our favorite upcoming games periodically so that you can be on the look out for some really cool games the are in development.
With this episode, we decided to share some crowdfunding board games that didn’t quite hit the mark and discuss some of the obvious reasons we think they may not have been successful. We cover four crowdfunding campaigns that were pretty clear from the start that they were going to be an uphill battle and we use clips from their campaign pitch videos to unpack what their intentions were and maybe shed light on on them while providing some much earned teasing.
To keep from spoiling the fun, we won’t go into too much detail but we cover campaigns that had everything from a Kickstarter that just didn’t want to tell the backers ANYTHING about the game they were making to a game that would have an online gaming community that promised top prizes like a Ferrari!
Take a listen and enjoy some of these wild rides with us. While we may poke fun at some of these outlandish ideas, it comes from a place of love and appreciate people reaching for their dreams! And don’t forget to Play With It!
