"The game’s out of print, but ..."
I've seen this for a few of the successful kickstarters, and it always makes me kind of sad; when Kickstarter is working at its best, it, y'know, kick-starts something so that the initial backers are just the first run, and then the product will continue to be available (and possibly the line will expand).
Obviously it's totally within the creator's rights to just use the kickstarter funds to fund a single round of product. But, it makes me sad.
- egypturnash 13y agoYeah, I was coming here to say that. I've done two kickstarters for comic books, and my print run has been about 4x what I actually got from the Kickstarter. I've sold the extra copies of book 1 over the past year; I'll do the same with book 2 over the next. Basically I walk away from a Kickstarter with about $0 cash profit, and a nice pile of inventory to sell. Of course, the margins on graphic novels are a LOT better than on board games. And they're easier to stick in a closet, easier to ship to a convention, etc.
- jessaustin 13y agoI just bought one on Amazon for $45 (including shipping). It appears that price is still available, so they probably have some stock remaining.
- danshapiro 13y agoI'm working on bringing the game back in some form, but right now my priorities are my awesome Kickstarter backers first, and getting the rest of this production run in lots of kids' hands second. And then going on vacation with my family third. Stay tuned. :)
