FAQ

I live in Belize/Canada/Ecuador/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I’m writing this from Europe in the future where it’s already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I’ll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now I got an ID-10t message!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on Reddit karma, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I’ll see what I can do.

The Isofarian Guard is amazing if you happen to be up for a story-heavy campaign game to play either solo or with another person. I got the first printing and am exstatic, that they only charge 39€ for the new content and previous backers get all of the updated materials bundled in for free. That is exactly how you turn me into a loyal customer.

On the other hand, Board Game Tycoon decided that everything outside of the US no longer exists, so I can’t even buy the Everdell-related stuff I’d like because it simply isn’t available in the EU at all. That is how you spit into a (formerly loyal) customer’s face.
