JrKingofBeer Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I was unable to watch the interview live (not in US timezone here) but watched the replay this morning. Very interesting ! I wished they had shown a bit more of the game itself like the board etc and explained a bit of the game mechanics. But perhaps this is not possible at this point or perhaps the subject of a subsequent video. The amount raised is half a million dollars as of now, nicely done ! I am very interested, just signed up for the kickstarter. GO GO GO ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
