Tomorrow is the last day of our Kickstarter campaign for One Billion Users. We’re still beneath the funding threshold, so unless there’s a big closing rush, this campaign won’t reach our goal. Still, if we can get that big closing rush, we’d love your support for the campaign. At the very least, supporting it now will allow us to alert you if we try again with a modified campaign/product in the future.
If you haven’t followed along, One Billion Users is a super fun card game to be played with family and friends. It’s loosely based on the old public domain card game Touring, which was adapted decades later into the much more popular Mille Bornes. However, we made a bunch of updates to improve on Mille Bornes, while simultaneously theming it around social media, allowing us to add things like Influencers and the ability to play as a particular social network (yes, including ExTwitter).
If the campaign doesn’t reach its goal, we’ll take some time before we decide what to do next. We always set a very high bar (one of the highest we’ve seen for a card game) because we believe in using Kickstarter the way it’s supposed to be used: as a way to test a product to see if there’s a market there. And we didn’t want to go to the trouble of producing anything if there didn’t seem to be a market. If it turns out that this campaign doesn’t hit the goal, we’ll go back to the drawing board. We may rethink our approach and try something else. Either way, we’ll have learned something valuable in the process.
In the meantime, though, we’d still be thrilled if enough backers jumped in to support the campaign and help us reach our goal, so please go check it out.
