Kickstarter Summary

By the end of the campaign, the front page of the Kickstarter page had a list of all of the artists named in all of the updates, as well as several links to other sites that had written about it.

Here's a list of what appeared on the home page:

  • "Anything that challenges my imagination and encourages creativity is going to score big points for me." - Jason Tagmire, Fruitless Pursuits
  • "Though the pieces might make you think it’s a ruse…it’s actually far from it." -- Cathe Post, GeekMom
  • This gets a big thumbs-up from me, too. Often games with this many mechanisms don’t do any of them particularly well, but they’ve managed to combine everything into a nearly perfect whole. Emperor’s New Clothes should be seen to be believed. -- Firestone, TheologyOfGames
  • Keith Baker's "Six Questions: Jonathan Liu"
  • "I think it’s hilarious and I have to applaud them for bringing the narrative of the game to life in such a clever way." --DMBigfoot, The Inlay
  • "the naked brilliance of the design is undeniably thought-provoking." -- Matt Blum of GeekDad
  • "There are many Kickstarter projects that seem too good to be true, and that’s mostly because they are–but we spend money on them anyway." -- Byron Campell of NerdSpan
  • "I give it three thumbs up (I borrowed one from my wife). This is truly a gem." -- Edd Allard, on boardgamegeek.com
  • "I find the project highly transparent, especially with the availability of the print and play version, which both allows you to check that you can see ROOS and to make sure that the game is to your liking." -- Greg, 3DTotal Games
  • "I must admit however that this campaign is probably the most unusual I’ve ever seen." -- Dad's Gaming Addiction
Plus there was this video review from UndeadViking, which I mentioned in Update #22:

  1. I do very much love this concept. I am also greatly amused by the recapitulation of pride through the board-game itself.
