Have you looked at the CAH Kickstarter (an easy reference point)? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/maxtemkin/cards-against-humanity/description https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/maxtemkin/cards-against... While amusing, seems like your video is missing A) details about the game and how to play, B) face to face with your founders, C) people enjoying your product. Also the low tier would be much improved with a digital download. Re: the game itself, this sounds like it might work with the right group of very tight-knit friends. Kind of niche. CAH, on the other hand, seems to work even with prudish strangers because no one has to take responsibility for what they're doing. And the "Life is Life" chant seems a bit cringe-worthy. I dunno, maybe that's just me. Good luck.

Thanks for this! We did check out CAH and quite a few Kickstarters. Agreed on the scope of our video. Our thoughts are: 1) Game is pretty simple, so you could get that from the text 2) This was probably a miss. We may try to shoot some footage and change up the video to add in a face-to-face. Thanks! We were hoping the strangely high production value of the video would add credibility and wanted focus on the game. 3) We found that people reading the cards and visualizing themselves played better than showing another group of friends playing the game. As for the lower-tier, we were worried this would mix shift to the lower tier, when we really need manufacturing funds for a first run. It is a BLAST with a close group of players. But also works really well with a few people who know each other well and a few other people who know each other well. We've also had strong success with a group of complete strangers where people are inebriated / and there's at least 1-2 outgoing strangers but you are right, not ideal for a group of all more introspective strangers. The Life is Life cheers is strangely fun when you actually do it, but I get that it reads cring-worthy. As it's hard to visualize, I think you're right. Thanks so much for the feedback. Will take it all back.
