I came across Kickstarter.com a few months ago and love the concept of it. It's a website that makes dreams possible. Basically, someone has a project or creative idea they want to accomplish but need some funding. People are starting their own crafting businesses, publishing books, etc You can find different projects that you share a vision for and can pledge money. An awesome bonus is that you can see how many other people are also backing the project, what the goal is and keep track to how the project is coming along. Not to mention that Kickstarters offer additional bonuses for higher donations (i.e. a thank you card for $5, a sample of their product for $20)
My husband and I are known amongst our friends and family for our game collection and game nights so I absolutely love the idea of
THIS PROJECT called "Pirate Attack"
Details:
Pirate Attack is an action packed card game. There are 6 expansion packs available which adds a new level of play to the game.
In the Main Game "Pirate Attack- The Beginning", players play ships,
fight battles and steal gold. Players use cards to improve their ships
and harm other players ships. Players can buy Witch Doctor cards to
place on other players to hurt them and Fortune Teller cards to help
themselves.
The plan is to print out at least 5,000 copies of the game. Each copy
will include a total of 730 cards 350 in the main game and 380 in the 6
expansion packs). The main game can be played as a stand alone and
expansion packs can be added to give the players more things to do
during the game. Best when played with 3 to 8 players. Ages 8 and up.
This is a high quality game. The game comes in a nice sturdy 9" x
12" x 3" game box with inserts to hold all the cards from the main game
and each expansion pack, so all the cards are together. No cheap
folding game tuck box.
The game has great replay ability.
The money from Kickstarter will go directly towards finishing the artwork and printing/manufacturing the game.
If this sounds like fun to you, think about a donation (

So what about you, have you heard of Kickstarter before? Do you have a project currently needing funding on Kickstarter? Share in the comments so we can all take a look at it! I bet you some day that I will have a project or 2 up there myself :)
