There is something insidious in the all in pledge becoming the almost all in pledge after a week or so. It’s a very obvious up selling technique imho. ---

The only saving grace is knowing that if you back it and you don’t fancy it, you can sell it for just as much, if not more, depending on hype… ---

That’s how all pyramid schemes sell themselves, until it isn’t true any more. ---

Not many games I found actually follow that. I think your window for selling at price or higher is tiny, basically around the time it’s delivered and even then only if it’s getting hyped. If it’s a dud then no chance. Some publishers sell really high on KS and then push them in to retail cheap, which also ruins any money coming back. Alban Viard is the worst for this of games I have backed. ---

I’ve seen people on the **Rallyman: Dirt** forums on BGG talking about being determined to sell their pledge as soon as it arrives, _just because it’s been delayed_. Which seems very odd: I mean, if it arrives a year late and you find your gaming tastes have changed, fair enough, but… ---

I know someone who has expressed similar sentiment. They said delays leave a bad taste in their mouth that can’t be divorced from the game. I found it very odd given how frequently things get delayed on KS. Each to their own though ---

That sounds like their interest in that game is mostly hype rather than anything. Like, yeah, I don’t want delays on **JoCo2** , but I will still be excited if it shows up a year late. ---

Not to mention the recording artiste known as JoCo! [![](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/3X/2/3/23b98d9f3b937b5bf81c4902689255ca75f8073b.jpeg "Re: Your Brains") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tmzjaN2DWc) ---

I went to IKEA on Tuesday, and had to look up JoCo in order to post his song about it 🙂 [![](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/9/93b692940c0017b88ed03efffe277bddbb9f5b97.jpeg "JONATHAN COULTON - Ikea") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auKWEKzVulQ) ---

My Kickstarter weaknesses aren’t really board games, but small RPGs. I’ve just backed [Lichdom](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/feralwizard/lichdom), a solo journaling RPG. Description form the project: _Lichdom is a solo journaling roleplaying game about the ambitious journey of a sorcerer towards immortality, about the hazardous research to find lost knowledge in crumbling tombs and half-buried cities, and about overcoming death by finding a way to keep your soul tied to this world before your time among the living runs out._ ---

My weakness is reprints and second editions of games (rpgs or board games) that I originally wanted but passed on in the first printing/edition. ---

I’ve just backed something for the first time in ages: The solo hand-held card game “Palm Laboratory” which is a $6 pledge within the campaign for another game: [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/portaldragon/colab-relaunch](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/portaldragon/colab-relaunch) It’s a variant of the 1-2 player [Palm Island](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/239464/palm-island), and I suspect I’d prefer the theme of the earlier game, but the new one is cheaper as it doesn’t bother with cards for a second player. I backed it in large part because I like games that I can play on public transport (not that I’m on a lot of that these days), and with these games you hold all of the cards in your hands 100% of the time. It sounds like it’s about a year away, though. ---

Just backed **Floating Floors** on KS. I liked the look of it in the SU&SD playthrough during AwSHUX and it just opened today. For just $25 + $10 est. shipping, it looks like a decent price overall. ---
