Kickstarter Game Update: Week 9

Looking back: Week 8

Game I Viewed:
Star Realms

Status: 72% funded

This is a deckbuilding game with a science fiction theme in which backers can choose to purchase the base game, for 2 players, or add more copies of the game to accommodate greater numbers of players. The art is fantastic, and comments from people who played at GenCon are positive. If it weren't for the federal shutdown putting my paycheck at risk, I probably would have pledged this (if only to reserve an early discount slot).

Edited 10/6/13 to add funding status.

Update from last week: The struggling Allegiance campaign was cancelled, with plans for a later relaunch. If they start off with gameplay videos, third party reviews, and lower international shipping charges, they should get a much better initial boost. If they lower their goal at the same time, I have no doubt they will fund.
