FAQ

I live in Jamaica/Canada/Belize/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I’m writing this from Europe in the future where it’s already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I’ll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now there’s cheese dust all over my cards!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on Reddit karma, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I’ll see what I can do.
