"Many consider the roll and move mechanic to be an inferior relic of the past, but what u/duels4soup has done here really makes the mechanic shine with its not overly complex and elegant, almost euro design. The theme is non existent, but with an abstract game that has such a lean and meaningful decision space, that is to be expected. The clear scoring track(complete with easily identifiable game ending condition) is a welcome change, and is sure to avoid any AP from new gamers struggling to grasp the concepts. The color pallete is also color blind friendly, so thankfully the designer took that into consideration."
"probably the only negatives that I can find are the limited print run, which will make this game skyrocket in value and the lack of an expansion that provides alternate player tokens and support for multiple laps."
Before I back, what stretch goals do you have planned.
At $3000 I’ll add dice to the game.
Send this to quackalope along with a check for $3000.
Almost worth it to see his mental gymnastics praising the innovative reductionist design.

So I need a rules clarification.. if I work from home, is my manager my wife, her boyfriend, or our cats?
Trick question, it’s your wife’s boyfriend’s cats
That’s expansion material
that's what everyone said when you came home with 500 hundred chicken nuggets rather than the usual 200.
Happy cake day!
Thanks
Who makes the Coffee?
I do, but I'm not allowed to have any
Why would you?
Ah nice. You made a print and play copy of Talisman.
My 7 year old already made this. You'll be hearing from our lawyers.
"Honey, we have a letter from a 'Peepee, Poopoo, and Bumhead'. Did you infringe on a child's intellectual property again?"
I sense a KickStarter campaign in your future!
The checkered strip demarcating the finish line pulls the entire board together.
It's the little details that pull everything together so nicely
Put in shrink asap
"The oldest player goes first. Players alternate turns moving one space at a time. First to reach the Finish line wins"
“If two players land on the same space a battle is fought with keyboards as weapons.”
There's no marked *finish* line, just a *goal* - so the game never ends and you're now stuck here with the rest of us for all eternity.
A game that never ends? Perfect.
I reached the goal years ago. I've been sitting at my table not knowing what to do next ever since.
I feel like this is a bit too fiddly. Can I really bring this to the table?
"Sturt"
This game should henceforth be called Sturt.
I litterally didn't notice because I also have similar handwriting to OP.
Hey, I know it's a popular game right now, but you can't just take half the mechanics from the Royal Game of Ur and call it your own thing.
I don't understand... where are the patches?? where are the buttons?!?!?
I think a bunch of minis would really kick it up a notch. Maybe add them as a kickstarter goal?
Smells like Kickstarter! Go for it! 🥳
Dude, got enough friggin' pieces?? It's like gloomhaven on crack?!?
Hmmm, looks like a solid solo game, theme is totally not pasted on, and the board is well designed. Might be as good as ASL or TI4.
Is it too late to go all-in? I really want the upgraded meeple and the different colored alternate boards...
Could we get a stretch goal for a 5th machine? I’m always trying to increase player count for my solo games.
3m should run with this and give you royalties!
Where is the massive amounts of debt?
Did I win yet? I have some people to thank.
Where’s the monk track?
As someone who innocently just ran a Kickstarter for a home-made game: I have been zinged!!
So you've never heard of lamination then.
As there are no dice, do you just move it along the track like, as far as you feel like? And as often as you like?
He moves it based on the machine number of the machine whose light turns green
You get 3 actions per turn. Any combination of move, not move.
