Kickstarter and the Playing Card community

Unread post by Adam »

So I was just flipping through the Kickstarter year end review slideshow, if you haven't seen it here it is: http://www.kickstarter.com/year/2012

The #1 category for Kickstarter was games raising 88 million dollars in 2012. This got me thinking, How much of that money came from playing card projects alone?

The answer:

$1,026,931

Over a million dollars in 2012 from playing card decks alone...

United Cardists, you should be proud, or maybe depressed depending on your spouse, that we spent over a million dollars on playing cards on Kickstarter alone in one year.

Here's to 2013 everyone!

Wow, that's certainly food for thought.

I think I'm more depressed than proud, to be honest :oops:
