Get a cool game!
In case you missed it, cameronhawkins has developed a boardgame and is raising money for it on kickstarter.
The game, called I, spy, looks really cool. It's a resource management, intrigue, and spatial location mix.

As of now, the game has been funded! You can now get it, guaranteed, for $37 ($52 for shipment outside the US).

All the relevant info can be found on his blog.

Looks like a cool game, too bad the cost of shipping and getting it into Denmark is $52 on top of the $37 for the actual game ;/

I have no idea what the costs are for a small kickstarter to get a distributor in the EU though. But it would be nice. :)
Posted by cameronhawkins on 2014-09-02 03:09:15
That is not correct, my friend. The cost is $37 + 15 for shipping, thus –– $52.
Posted by albinv on 2014-09-02 03:39:25
Im so broke atm that when lately an old bum in the streets of berlin asked me if i had some food, i considered to reply by burying my teeth in his opened hands - determined to not let go until i was nibbling on solid bone! No kidding.

Unfortunately latest expenses dont allow me to donate here. Otherwise id honestly chuck a few bucks, for stubborn fumbbl loyalty and getting hooked more and more on boardgames. Hope some other fumbblers/ boardgame friends find themself in a more favourable situation. Good luck nontheless - seems like a fine game!
Posted by Overhamsteren on 2014-09-02 03:40:23
Sorry for the confusing number but it is indeed the cost of shipping+taxes+fees.

A guess one conclusion could also be that Denmark sucks. ;P

Still I'm pretty sure many other European countries also have to pay something on top of just shipping. :)
Posted by coombz on 2014-09-02 04:12:04
it does look very cool, i passed the link on to a friend who is a boardgame fanatic and he donated right away
Posted by cameronhawkins on 2014-09-02 05:11:23
Overhamsteren, I'm very confused by what you are telling me. The shipping to Europe is the same, even in Denmark.
Posted by the_Sage on 2014-09-02 08:24:02
What he's saying is that after we pay you $37 for the game, and $15 for shipping (which I guess counts towards you reaching your goal, which I find a bit odd), customs will see the contents and charge us import tax, still. You, as sender, can circumvent this by marking the package 'gift', in which case it's not import.

(it is a gift; in a way: kickstarter isn't buying a product, it's supporting a project and receiving a gift out of gratitude, right? ;)
Posted by cameronhawkins on 2014-09-02 09:19:41
Well, most of the games will actually be shipped from within the EU, so I hope not to incur those fees.

Thanks for the reminder Sage. cameronhawkins wrote: "... As of this posting, we have $3000 to raise in 3 days.... " I think about contributing but don't know much about kickstarter. Can anyone briefly explain the concept, especially what happens if the required numbers don't get reached until deadline?
Posted by the_Sage on 2014-09-02 13:45:08
If the numbers are not reached, no one pays a dime. That's the whole concept; people only have to pay if enough people commit, so that the project becomes realistic.

Also, that figure is outdated, he's only $1500 short with 45 hours to go.

Thanks for the explanation and link. I will contribute this evening (no payment/acoount info at hand atm). Come on fumbblers, let's help cameronhawkins realize his project!!
Posted by Meanandugl on 2014-09-02 22:48:42
Done. As of now $ 11457 have been pledged, i.e. just $ 543 are missing to succeed - and 36 hours to go
Posted by Overhamsteren on 2014-09-03 06:57:10

Most of the games? Very interested about this as I would like to back the game but don't want to pay ridiculous fees to our post department.
Posted by the_Sage on 2014-09-03 09:25:12
I assume he means 'the ones sent to Europe'.
He made it!
