 Re: Rambo: The Board Game
Nice Artwork, but the game looks pretty boring. Never been a fan of those card games.

 Re: Rambo: The Board Game
I will probably never play it, but on the off-chance it's good, what's 60 bucks? I will get one. Hopefully me and stuffp can get together and give it a go.

 Re: Rambo: The Board Game
Why not wait, a year and get it for 12?
It's looking like it'll hit the goal. One thing I've learned is that Board games are the fastest things to win a kickstarter event.

 Re: Rambo: The Board Game
I'm a bit interested to back my first project on Kickstarter. And this is Rambo. So it just makes sense.
One thing I am unsure about is the postage. It doesn't mention it anyway. I hope they don't charge me international prices for a product produced in China, when they could Express it to me within days for about $4.

 Re: Rambo: The Board Game
I think because there is relatively little risk in production (nothing has to be developed for years) and board game fanatics are loyal, obsessed, collector groups with high disposable income.

 Re: Rambo: The Board Game
That's exactly it, many gamers really do support each other, and if there is any type of variation they usually have the highest success rates. I think I've produced videos for something like 16 or so campaigns, 9 were for board games, and they all passed way before deadlines, and by a great margin. It's also much easier than say a film or other things because a lot are never complete. It's always much easier to invest on a finished product

 Re: Rambo: The Board Game
Passing margins isn't really a feat these days in crowdfunding. Owners put the goals so low so they can have bragging rights that they passed it so quickly, but everyone knows this nowadays so it's much less effective. It's more about the final total. This Rambo campaign has stalled a bit, even though it has only been active for 3-4 days. All the gamers rushed to pledge, and there really isn't anybody else left.
