I bet we'll see an update at $4.5
Fizzziks "The Healer" 2015-01-28T20:28:32-05:00
The lack of updates kinda makes their talk about "building a community" and "it's all about you backers" seem disingenuous. I'm not really concerned/interested in stretch goals, but they emphasized that a big part of their goal was to build a community that endures beyond the kickstarter, and not exactly doing that. With 22 days to go, I'm worried they're going to end up with +150K people with pitchforks instead of an engaged Exploding Kittens community.
Is this catastrophic success?? They have a ton of well deserved goodwill with the interweb dwellers, but they now have to deliver a much much larger product than maybe they ever dreamed. Luckily, if there's anyone that can pull it off, it's these guys.
Perrin 2015-01-28T20:29:01-05:00
@Chris Or maybe 115,000 backers?
Jennifer Berman 2015-01-28T20:30:54-05:00
I agreed to be a backer because I saw a story on The Huffington Post about a kickstarter campaign about a card game. I watched the video and thought the game looked like fun and I loved the twisted concept. I pledged $35 dollars because I wanted the card game and some bonus cards. They are under no obligation to deliver anything more then what was promised and now I'm getting more cards for the same money, which I think is pretty cool. Contract (more than) satisfied. Thank you Creators.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2015-01-28T20:31:07-05:00
I don't believe there should be goals to get updates. They can update whenever they feel like it.

@Eric B. - I agree, but if they say they are going to update, they need to update.
edward b 2015-01-28T20:35:32-05:00
Would like to see them simply say that they will post an update when there is something to report about production after the campaign and nothing more.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2015-01-28T20:35:34-05:00
@JohnKelly that is what I was trying to say. I just speek in the not good on that. :-P

Jeffrey Moser 2015-01-28T20:40:10-05:00
We should get this to at least $14 million. That would make this not only the most backed but also the most funded Kickstarter campaigns ever.
John "Collar Stay" Kelly 2015-01-28T20:43:31-05:00
@Eric B. Has anyone suggested plastic cards or Mantis Shrimp cards? Better yet! Cheap international shipping! I'm on a roll.

@John, I don't know about that. The next thing you know, they'll be asking for cheaper shipping or something.
Bobby Allen 2015-01-28T20:56:22-05:00
would like an update that the manufacture they chose can scale up from 1000 copies of the game to 100K copies of the game.

Someone mentioned EK was on cnn.com. couldn't remember if the link was posted or not, here it is
Just once I'd love to see a kickstarter charge $20 for shipping in the US and nothing everywhere else, to see the uproar you Americans would make about it.
Perrin 2015-01-28T20:57:18-05:00
Do they ever break down kickstarter backers by location? That would be interesting to see on this campaign.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-01-28T20:57:26-05:00

That happens when projects are based in the EU.

Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-01-28T20:57:54-05:00
Does anyone know how long it actually takes to print a sheet of cards? Is it seconds, minutes?
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-01-28T20:58:10-05:00
@Bobby
Probably not, apparently the printer rep just started screaming at them when she found out how many they were selling. ;)
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-01-28T20:59:18-05:00
@Bobby and Eric A,
They can handle that many, I'm sure. They handle the Cards Against Humanity stuff. :)

Oh look, we went from 114,093 to 114,115 backers in the time it took me to type this out. :)

Is this catastrophic success?? They have a ton of well deserved goodwill with the interweb dwellers, but they now have to deliver a much much larger product than maybe they ever dreamed. Luckily, if there's anyone that can pull it off, it's these guys.

Next milestone is 114,327 backers

You don't eat anything made with eggs?

@Joshua: He's being facetious
123,456!! Let's make it happen!
@Eric B, NP. I've never tried to make a bread pudding. Was it difficult?
Last guess of the time as to when the update is coming. 11:59:59 PM PST. hahaha
@Cal R, love the guess.
2:30 am EST
@BruceP. Made with eggs i.e. waffles, bread,pastries, pasta, yes. Omlettes, french toast, sausage mcmuffin with egg...no.
4.5 million. Wool!
How is the drumroll kitten from the beginning of the video not on a 10 hour loop video on youtube yet?
Cursed autocorrect... That should be "Wooo!"
@ChrisL. Very easy. put it together in 20 minutes, baked for 40 mins.
@Chris: I was happy, I thought I found someone else who gets over excited about wool... but alas, I remain forever alone.
@Eric A, someone needs to get on that ASAP.
I think they are waiting for 115,000
@Eric B, I'll have to try it some time, the prep/cook time doesn't sound bad at all.
@Evan W, I'm sorry to get your hopes up under false pretenses. Hang in there, someone out there enjoys wool as much as you.
I think they are waiting on more people to request an update.
