Kickstarter Game Update: Week 3

I've been noticing a number of game designers and publishers announcing that they will be launching Kickstarter projects around September 15, so we may have a reprieve until then.

Looking back: Week 2.

I didn't back any new games this week.

Game I Viewed:
Belle of the Ball: A Fancy Schmancy Card Game

Status: 55% funded

This is a card game in which players use various actions to manipulate the attendance of guests at parties they are hosting as well as to gain the favor of the lovely Belle. I think the art looks great, and the theme of the game appears fun. I'm just a bit put off by the overdone wacky humor evidenced by the names of the guests on the example cards (such as "Gigglelack Lololol" and "Fffffffff Flippinbird").
