Cactus Game Design Message Boards

I need to preface this with the fact that I only sponsored one game through Kickstarter and that was "Kings of Israel."  Therefore, my knowledge will be limited.

I supported because...
I wanted a discount on the game (I financed a bundle).
I wanted the expansion that added more players (I have a large-ish family).
I liked that everyone got the benefits regardless of money contributed (it would pull in more money to meet more goals).
I like specialty tokens (exclusive stuff is an allure to me as a collector).
I liked the game idea and ruleset (I love Pandemic).
EDIT:  Tom Vassal gave a positive recommendation. I tend to agree with a lot of his game choices in Dice Tower, and upon reflection his endorsement helped in my decision.

That is why I funded the Kickstarter game "Kings of Israel."

This is a good idea regardless of any particular set.  I wonder if we could get Tom Vassal to do a review on Redemption.  I feel the same way about him that Jon does and I think that a lot of people check out his videos on YouTube, so it could go a long way

FYI, Tom Vasel's BoardGameGeek rating for Redemption is 6/10, with the comment, "Not bad, although the rules could use a major re-write." Not sure if that glowing review being disseminated more widely would do the game many favors.

The rating's date is December 2009, and the comment date is September 2007. So the comment is dated around Faith of Our Fathers release, and the rating after Thesaurus ex Preteritus.
