Listen Later

Ever been burned by a bad Kickstarter experience? We've been there, and in this episode of Meeple Knights, we're sharing our thoughts on how these unfortunate situations impact backers and the board game industry. From the painfully delayed Pursuit of Happiness: Nostalgia in the Big Box to the sad case of Holy Grail Games – who closed their doors shortly after a successful campaign – we're exploring the frustrations, delays, and communication issues that plague Kickstarter campaigns.

We dive into the challenges of packaging and quality control for crowdfunding games, and discuss the importance of customer support in the process. Hear our own backer experiences with games like Evil Baby Overkill, Fuel, and Masters of the Universe He-Man, and how sometimes publishers intentionally delay their games to ensure a higher-quality product. Plus, we'll compare Kickstarter games to IPAs in a bar and even muse on what a Ticket to Ride Roll and Write game would be like!

Finally, we offer ideas on how to stay informed on Kickstarter project updates and potential solutions for dealing with bad Kickstarter experiences. Whether you're a seasoned backer or new to the crowdfunding scene, this episode is packed with insights and advice to help you navigate the world of Kickstarter board games. Don't miss it!
