Kickstarter Game Update: Week 10

[spacealien_vamp]

Looking back: Week 9

Game I Viewed:
Dreaming Spires

Status: Funded

This is a game revolving around people and events related to Oxford University. I think the theme is unique and the art is atmospheric. It seems a bit dry to me, though I'd be interested in watching a gameplay video.

Honorable Mention:
Wild Edible Poker Cards

Status: 9% funded

This project is a deck of poker cards printed with pictures and information about wild plants that are edible. While I admire the educational nature of these cards, the deck has one huge flaw: The back of each card describes the plant on the front. That means, with familiarity, your opponent can read the backs and figure out exactly which cards you are holding. Thus, the cards are essentially useless for most competitive games.
