What KICKSTARTER(S) are you BACKING and WHY?

The problem I have with Burgle Bros is the first bullet point is --- "Actually feels like a heist". I haven't gone into the designer bios, but is one of them a former thief? I don't know why I find that so irritating, but I do.

Maybe add the word "movie" to the end of that sentence.

I'm hoping that's legit because then the game will pay for itself.

This thread feels like a trap, but I'm going to go ahead and have my 5-posts-to-my-name bad self mention a recent Kickstarter game that I've been waffling on. Posthuman has a couple of strikes against it: a new developer, and not much discernible extra value for paying retail+shipping 9 months in advance of actually receiving the game.

But that setting, the solitaire option, build-your-character rules, just enough player interaction to avoid the multi-player solitaire syndrome while still being attractive to those friends of mine who shy away from confrontational games, and the use of Mr. B Games for handling the Kickstarter logistics all work in the game's favor. It looks like a boardgame that will have a similar feel to the punishing NEO Scavenger rogue-like: desperation, meaningful choices, and a lonely end in the ruins of a crumbling town. And for what it's worth, the KS campaign's opening video is probably the best I've seen.

Shoot, it sounds like I'm talking myself into backing it again...

That is a pretty slick video. I went deep on Deadzone. Let's just say I hope I play it a LOT.

Whoa, that Deadzone campaign is huge. They are not messing around, LOL: t-shirts, patches, terrain, dice upgrades, paint kits, and of course the game itself. So far I haven't backed anything that extensive yet, but it looks like you're getting your money's worth. Like you said: IF you actually play it though! But then that's the same with any KS campaign, I suppose.

Just backed the first expansion for Evolution, Evolution Flight.

If you haven't had a chance to play Evolution yet do yourself a favor and try it. I was totally blown away by it.

Lord of the dead - $8 for a cool looking microgame delivered via envelope. $9 for outside US. No ridiculous tiers. The only concern I really have is if it grows too big, but since the only tiers left are the game I don't know if that is going to happen.

Why would you print the rules on the back of the board? Huge mistake. Looks interesting though, like a lighter Psycho Raiders.

Barnes head is going to explode. A Requiem Vampire Knight board game, but it's a kickstarter!
