Zaphod42 posted:Its UNO, you silly goons. Have you never played UNO? Its a reskinned UNO with funnier cards than just numbers and "skip a turn". How is it similar to UNO apart from the 'next player skips a turn' mechanic? There's way less strategy in this one.

You're just drawing cards, relying on the luck of the draw for almost the entire game, which is how UNO works too. Yeah, this is kinda reversed in the goal, its like Russian Roulette UNO, but close enough. What strategy is there in UNO really? You play a card if you can, you play a skip/reverse/whatever if you feel like dicking over somebody to your left or right. This has the same stuff pretty much. I guess maybe there's a secret world of UNO strategy that I'm ignorant to, but there's not much to be had there. People come up with 'strategy' for Rock, Paper, Scissors tournaments. (At least that comes down to psychology, and you have more agency)

Card game looks like it could be fine mechanical, but the whole monkey cheese aesthetic is already tiresome from just watching the video. Also back my kickstarter to buy a printing press to specialize in printing all the card games getting kickstartered.

Probably 14 years olds or geeks. Nah, Matthew has figured out how to pander directly to the "Everything in this awful house I bought on ThinkGeek" nuevo-millionaires who have a six figure income but zero life savings because Tech is a hedonistic treadmill where you run on a frictionless plane of knives until you bleed to death or turn 33. This is what happens when you digest the entire Web 1.0 world and turn your brain into a crucible for molten lolrandom monkeycheese. He's blended together the Internet into a nutritive paste and he's just feeding what we created 10 years ago back to us. You have to love the shameless guile it takes to turn Cracked articles into infographics. Every joke he's made, you made on a BBS you found accidentally when you were 12. He's a preteen on an AOL chatroom for the first time, but with "tragically hip youth pastor" facial hair and a boner for personal fitness. His calendar is a loving thing of beauty. For someone who is only noteworthy because of the computer, he convinced otherwise rational individuals to shell out fuckin' $20 for 12 paintshopped "motivational" images of how technology will make us all fat, shapeless blobs. AUGH. He's a loving monster. A rich, shameless, successful, monster. He is my idol.

Yeah, this is kinda reversed in the goal, its like Russian Roulette UNO, but close enough. Sorry, but you obviously never played UNO competitively.  Like in many other card games your primary mean to achieving your goal is to make assumptions based on what cards have previously played and by whom. You don't just throw any card, you want to play a card that your opponent more likely has no answer to and at the same time you want to set it up so you have an answer later. It's not, like, Magic: The Gathering level of deck and hand analysis, but it's still there. In this game, however, predictions seem to be meaningless, as your main goal is to skip as many turns as possible or have as many kitten-defusing cards as possible. It is Russian roulette with more busy work.

All this talk of UNO and Russian Roulette is just reminding me of UNO Extreme. Why can't there be a stupid meme game with some interesting gimmick like that? Wouldn't it be right at home with the WOW SO ZANY crowd? Okay, I guess it'd cost a lot more than printing some lovely card deck but the market for gimmick board/card games sure probably might exist still.

Callout, autographed photo, skype, and I will mail you a badge of my "fursona". This is something you will always have as a collectible. I will also mail you a signed limited edition hardback copy of my novel, ((When the publisher is done with it.)) Some guy's trying to get $3500 for a fursuit, and this is his highest tier "reward" which is just sad.

My favourite part is that they ran their first playtest one week before launching the kickstarter. The whole thing is a pinpoint marketing exercise by two artists and a guy best known for ARGs, they couldn't care less about the game and it's brilliant.

 Someone wants you to buy them a fursuit quote:Risk is that the fursuit maker get's delayed due to sickness or any life emergencies. Though rare, it is possible, which will delay creation. This isn't even for them to build it. They're going to take the money and pay it to someone else to make the suit for them.

They made a game with random player elimination, advertised it as getting more fun the closer you are to the end, and then decided the first stretch goal should be making the game last longer. I'm actually starting to love these guys.

Not only would that be a totally superfluous option that is the complete opposite to the intended function of headphones it would also be incredibly obnoxious and would be guaranteed to enrage pretty much anyone else within earshot in any situation where you'd wear earphones. So to answer your question: yes, of course the ears turn into external speakers. quote:Can you turn on and off the cat ear speakers and LED lights?
