That doesn't make them any more reliable. Check the disaster it was the crowdfunding of "HeroQuest 25 anniversary".
- scrooched_moose 5y agoWhat happened there? From the outside I thought it was pretty smooth and successful. Delivered what was promised and only a couple months late. I think the worst I've seen is people realizing it was never all that good to begin with, and being disappointed a reprint of a 35 year old game doesn't really stack up in the modern era.
