Sweet! Won't be this next one, but hope springs eternal.
Oh, and I played four hands of Pairs over lunch using a 12 Days deck. Loads of fun.
Excellent.
They released new and final stretch goals. I find them a bit disappointing (exec summary: @$250k, everyone at $100+ level will get a booklet with variants and backstory, $300k James will release a video literally laughing to the bank) since there's 0 of value to anyone but the big-money supporters. But I guess there's really not much that can be added to a project like this without making it significantly more of a logistical nightmare.
Did you tell Zaxxon that we'll be at Jolly Inn playing Pairs and drinking while he eats those Gyros alone?

You must be planning to bring a bottomless stomach and wear Sweat/Yoga pants or Bike shorts. The Jolly Inn can be a day's worth of meals.
I plan on getting hepcat smashed so someone can post pictures of him wearing drink umbrellas again.

Via a just-announced more attractive quote from the printer, the booklet will now come in all 5-deck and above pledges rather than ten (if the project hits $250k).
Just played another 5 games of this at lunch. The guys are still loving it.

Considering backing out of my 4 deck pledge. I am in more for the art than the game, but not sure I need more stuff sittign on my shelf. I really want to break the kickstarter habit. It's hard!

I'd grab at least one deck. If you like short fast games like Love Letter, this one scratches the same itch.

Lately I have been forced to travel on business more to useless cities (sorry RIC/RVA!) and I am generally in a hotel with coworkers and we end up at a bar watching sports on TV that none of us care about. I have been trying to figure out a game to take with me for just such occasions and I think this might work. That and the Kovalic and Foglio decks have my interest. Not sure on which other decks I would get, possibly NotW and Faen. I need to see if there is a gameplay overview of Falling because maybe I want that instead.
Yea, the other deck art is tempting but I'm going to hold the line at 3. The deck I give to the kids is going to end up incomplete, so I will only keep one deck for each game.

I am absolutely on board for that Echo Chernik deck. I love her artwork.

This one I will not back. I will not back this one... I will not back this one...
I have ventured into this thread 3 times so far and still have not pulled the trigger. I think my resolve has leveled up!

"I don't know," Snufkin replied.
The door shut again and Snufkin entered his forest, with a hundred miles of silence ahead of him.

Also, T-14 hours left for miltonite to open his wallet.
You are making me use the the big guns now.
Plus I just bought 4 games, I can't afford any more right now. Terra Mystica, Forbidden Desert, Hanabi and Gauntlet of Fools was costly enough.

$14 gets you in with one deck! Go search through your couch cushions!!!

4 decks: 2 Baby Cthulhu, Princess and Falling. I wanted to get the Pirate deck, but the kids are terrified of 2 cards in the very dark Princess deck and don't like the Pirates. They LOVE the Cthulhu and I must have my own copy.

I was in for 5 decks and my choices ended up being Pirates, Goblins, Barmaids, Professor Elemental and Baby Cthulhu (or what they're looking to be calling the "Shallow Ones")
I came home to find a package on my chair. My 4 decks of Pairs arrived today.

Nice. Hopefully mine are close behind. It's been a good week for Kickstarter games, with Xia showing late last week, followed by Draco Magi and now Pairs.
Co-worker got his deck last week. He got a single deck, and I got...4?
