@Jeff Patrella,
If you stop the video around the :47 mark, and look in the bottom-left corner, you'll see there's already a Mantis Shrimp card. :)
Shaun Fergus 2015-01-26T16:02:17-05:00
I also second the idea of making the card box large enough to accommodate sleeved cards, this would be SUPER helpful in preserving the cards over time.
The holofoil card idea is a great option as well... It would be nice to have the KS version card back art to differ in some way from what the retail cards are going to look like... to separate the KS backing minions from the rest of society...
And finally, CONGRATS on such a successful kickstarter venture... well played. Looking forward to discovering what heights you want us to climb.
Peace

"Cats cards activate special powers when played as multiples" Can we have an example?

Yay!!! You made it to 100,000! That's amazing. Can't wait for the announcement of the next stretch :D

I also like the idea of making the card storage box large enough to accommodate sleeved cards... this would allow us to preserve the cards over time as well as store them.
The holocard idea is a good option as well...
I think making the card back art of the KS version different than the retail version of the game would be nice to see... to separate the KS backing minions from the rest of common society.
Finally, CONGRATS on such a successful KS project!!!... Looking forward to seeing what heights you will encourage us to climb in the near future.

This is one of those projects that you have to just sign up for just to back. Take my $35, and may the kittens be ever in your favor. Ahaha!
Timothy Laedke 2015-01-26T16:15:44-05:00
4.5k more backers and this will be the most backed campaign ever!!! kittens for everyone!
Jacob 2015-01-26T16:18:41-05:00
Perhaps some backer exclusive cards for stretch goals?
And now only 4500 backers to go before we break Reading Rainbow's record. Now that the backing pace seems to picking up again (likely because now you don't need to "double" the 35 buck pledge to get enough cards for 4 to 8 players) we will likely break THAT barrier as early as today... and STILL 24 days to go! Not bad for the first week o' funding. :P

Raising more money so quickly that, by the time Matthew completes the graphic for the next stretch goal that goal is surpassed == high quality problem.

Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2015-01-26T16:40:54-05:00
It took forever to go from 98,500 backers to 100,000. And it took no time to add the next 1,600.
I LOVE that someone mentioned a POG slammer. I wish I still had all of mine.
I really don't drink that often anymore, but I think this game kind of calls for it, so I would love drinking game rules, but I'm with Cal- we don't need no stinking rules....just drink while you play and hilarity is bound to ensue naturally.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-01-26T16:41:36-05:00

Hahahahahahah @Rod, way to try and capitalize. ;-)
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-01-26T16:43:08-05:00
Yeah, seems it would be pretty easy to incorporate drinking rules. Just drink if you draw an exploding kitten, drink if someone plays a diffuser, etc...
I know Élan and crew are busy having a blast on his birthday, but I'm seriously chomping at the bit for the next stretch goal, because I'm just waiting to throw more money at them.

What about adding additional price levels? Example --- for "$$" you can work with the design team to design your very own card that will be in the game. For "$$" you can get an unframed/signed drawing of a Kickstarter exclusive picture (larger then the card). For "$$" you can be an actual character in one of the game cards. Just some ideas...excited to play the game!!!

@Jeff Patrella,
If you stop the video around the :47 mark, and look in the bottom-left corner, you'll see there's already a Mantis Shrimp card. :)
I also second the idea of making the card box large enough to accommodate sleeved cards, this would be SUPER helpful in preserving the cards over time.
The holofoil card idea is a great option as well... It would be nice to have the KS version card back art to differ in some way from what the retail cards are going to look like... to separate the KS backing minions from the rest of society...
And finally, CONGRATS on such a successful kickstarter venture... well played. Looking forward to discovering what heights you want us to climb.

If you can't beat them...
I want #42113 cards with plastic mantis shrimp in cheap long-sleeved shirts.
Wow. Only $3,147 from $4 Million.
Bruce is right on the last day we will have at least 50 new posts every minute given the sheer number of backers that we have on here.
They done eatin' that cake yet?
@David K,
Yeah, it'll be insane. I can't wait to watch the number of backers and dollar amount go up when it gets to the final hours. :)
This is the first project that I have watched the comments so closely. So that is good to know @BruceP. Thanks.
Oh, and #97766 here. Eagerly awaiting the next stretch goal announcement.
