Want to play a lot of Pokemon Go? have a lot of devices but only a couple hands? Have a lot more money than you do sense? Well, I've got a product for you!

It's The unholy abomination that is a bunch of styli wrapped up in duck tape

The pleasure of using a couple of styli wrapped up in duck tape is yours for the low price of ...who knows. It's yet another Kickstarater when you don't actually buy the product.

Also if anybody was that into Pokemon GO while also being willing to operate outside of the system to that degree then they would probably just use a rooted Android to spoof the GPS data Instead of a Rube Goldberg contraption to play on multiple screens at once.

CaH was a breakout success, people who don't buy boardgames buy CaH which is why the creator has so much gently caress you money he can waste on internet attention whoring stunts every year. It's like how every game wants to be the next Call of Duty or every book wanted to be the next Twilight.

Card game nerds generally know how to recognize lovely mechanics. Developing good mechanics takes lots more time than making up lovely modular joke cards.

All those CaH games are going for the larger market of dumb partygoers who don't know poo poo about board games but know that board games are now popular for some reason.
People who have played Milton Bradley games most of their life and only recently played Apples to Apples for the first time.

Think about it, if you have some fantasy game with a card of fast travel boots you've gotta playtest if the boots give you +2 speed or +3 speed and if they cost 10 gold or 11 gold, but with a CaH style game all you do is write "Literally Hitler" on some cards and make $$$

I mean it's totally true that all those other random CAH-type games are just trying to look and sound enough like CAH that someone who doesn't know better will pick em up instead of CAH at a store or something. Like Asylum films making "Transmorphers" DVDs to put on store shelves the same day the latest Transformers movie hit theaters, or poo poo like that.

Its "Joking Hazard" and the cards are just Cyanide and Happiness panels. You put down cards to make a C&H style comic. But since its all paint by numbers, it gets old.

Every single one of those games (ignoring the shelf with Coup and Avalon) is a game where everybody draws cards and then takes turns picking one card to put down, and then one person is the "judge" who picks who had the best card. All of them.

Anyway, in other Awful Kickstarter news, have you ever wanted to just swipe right on everyone in Tinder, ever? Well, have the folks at Tinda Finger got the item for you! For only £7 plus shipping, you can get your own fake finger that can swipe right on Tinder (or similar apps) at 6000+ swipes per hour!

And if you don't like using Kickstarter, they also have an IndieGoGo campaign.

This isn't actually as bad as it could be. I mean, sure, it probably only does the one motion and draws power directly from the phone rather than being more generalizable, but I could at least see situations where you could repurpose it to do useful things? It's capable of performing a repetitive motion on a capacitive touchscreen so that's your :10bux: better spent than half the rest of this thread right there.
