That sounds like something I actually could get my retired parents into! My mom used to work in pharma quality control and my dad was a CRNA, so I'll have to ask them when I get a chance.

Dang, I didn't even know there was a Kickstarter thread here (or 3). I didn't see it in the last few pages, but I am currently backing "I C E", a French game with stunning art: Players play archaeologists who are excavating (literally, the board is layers of hexes that you remove to reveal more layers) an ancient civilisation. It's in the last 40ish hours, maybe someone here's interested. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thisway/i-c-e

That looks very pretty, but I checked out when I saw that the stretch goals unlocked different backs for the tiles that are randomised during setup, including unique backs for each of the edifices on the bottom level. These people are loving idiots who have wrecked their own game for the sake of bling.

That seems to be a misunderstanding - "backs" refers to what you're revealing when you turn them over from their unrevealed side (the "front"). The edifices also bring a "legacy lite" aspect in that they add a small rule to your next game. You can see the setup here, unless I'm the one who completely misunderstood the stretch goal, that's not what's happening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b-obm72lQQ

***Fae's Anatomy Update*** https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/faesanatomy/faes-anatomy-a-melodramatic-medical-mystery-rpg/description Fae's Anatomy broke through it's $10,000 goal and cracked the first stretch goal at the $11,000 mark thanks to your enthusiasm! What's next? $12k Stretch Goal quote:This book contains real medical information! Well, half of it does. Actually, it’s probably somewhere between 25-33%. And most of that is from Wikipedia. But it’s real, damnit! While no one should use FAMMM to learn medicine, we’d love it if players could pass through the game on their way towards actual Biology.

This has been a long time coming, and I've talked about it in the prototyping and designing threads, but I'm finally on Kickstarter! Just the pre-campaign landing page, but it's a step! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/527566924/heckin-hounds Heckin Hounds is a competitive trick taking game where you can't see what cards are in your hand, and you're trying to win as few tricks as possible. Thematically you're trying to avoid walking bad dogs for Hades in the Underworld. It's super cute and light, but also with a ton of meta-game and trick takey goodness if you're into that. You can also join our mailing list at https://heckinhounds.com

The dog was named after a Star Wars Character (Kanan) that also is an Arabic name. This happened 3 years ago and the guy changed his policy to not change dog names anymore.

Last day warning on Chai: Tea for 2 Looks like a great little dice worker placement game, and it has cute as poo poo metal tins with wooden tea leaves Pretty cheap at $40 USD. There's a ton of videos up so choose your poison. Also has some gorgeous clippable dice trays as addons. Honestly you should back $1 to get pledge manager access for the trays alone I reckon.
