5 Kickstarter Board Game SCAMS / Crazy Crowdfunding Campaigns

[@TheBleanaru]

.... There's.... There's already a Jumanji board game... An officially licensed Jumanji board game.... This is going to be a trip of a video.

[@SamusTheHedgehog]

It's true I own it in fact Pretty fun Pieces don't move on there own though

[@EEPfehAGG]

.... There's already these videos out there... C'mon Slope, some new content please! We know you can get over these stats slump and miss you!

I've been with you since you departed the Larry mothership and just know you can do it!

[@24fretsoffury]

The Katalyka background was so sad. People that don’t live in the U.S may not know, but our mental healthcare is completely fucked. I feel terrible for her. Good ole American healthcare, where you need your job to sponsor your healthcare and if you are mentally unwell enough to hold a job down, you’re just S.O.L. Bonus points for mental healthcare generally not being covered by insurance. It’s mostly out of pocket, which just serves a fraction of the population.

[@rogercheetoofficial]

For a moment, before "juandji" was said out loud, i misread it as "juan di" and assumed they had a guy pretending to be the guy from shenmue promoting the board game

[@dominiccarranza2184]

Showed my mom the Regium one. Direct quote from her "How stupid can you be to not notice the mane on the horse when rewatching the video in editing"

[@numbuh1507]

A member of Mensa making such a low IQ mistake? The horror! Not really

[@mercaius]

I didn't see the horse head glitch, but it was pretty obvious the "automated pieces" wouldn't move while his hands were on camera.

[@DiamondCake2]

How did people fall for that in the first place? Even without the horse error it’s obvious it’s an animation.

[@0Lottee0]

The segment on Katalyka always makes me just feel so sad for her. At this point it's been a very long time since that began and ended, but every so often a little bit of it pops up again and it's just incredibly sad. Molly clearly needs a lot of mental health support that she isn't getting and likely never will. It goes so far beyond a failed game it's hard to watch at times, like you really are just seeing someone get progressively more and more unstable as the years go by.

[@Dargonhuman]

Yea that one is always heartbreaking when it comes up. I sincerely hope she's doing better.

[@RND_ADV_X]

You don't really know much about me, if you think I'm less stable. 😂 I made Ebay and Etsy accounts and sold over $25,000 worth of a product in 2015 & 2016. My hobby is welding. I don't think there's anything unstable or unhappy about me at all. I got sick of lame drama, so I don't share my real life with strangers on the internet any more.

[@demo2823]

​@@RND_ADV_XAnd yet you reveal your youtube account publically this way? Also none of that proves you are stable.

[@tyrroo]

@@RND_ADV_X What does selling Lego pieces on eBay have to do with anything?

[@Morbos1000]

@@RND_ADV_X We saw the full text of your conversation with DJ. That was clearly written by a person in desperate need of mental health treatment. Of course treatment will only be effective once a person accepts their issues. What does welding have to do with any of this? Also, 2015 was nearly a decade ago.

[@NeilY1000]

If you do another board game one look up Mythic Games and you can fill 30 mins. Another one which kinda delivered but with so much controversy was Unbroken and the notorious golden bell studios which ended up on shark tank. Heroes of the Pacific by devil pig games actually ran off with the money and clearly knew they were broke before running the kickstarter

[@TorIverWilhelmsen]

And as much for Petersen Games - who have at least four unfulfillef campaigns at the moment.

[@Spartan9095]

Agreed! I lost $800 in the monsterpocalypse kickstarter due to their ponzi scheme

[@zombie10q]

I was wondering if they would be brought up in this video. Mythic games was such a pyramid scheme. Do I think they fully intended to supply their product? Sure... but they had too much over head and too many games at once. Its painfully obvious that they needed to use the money from 1 kickstarter to support previous kickstarters. And eventually, like all pyramid schemes, the bottom fell out

[@mctanuki]

just a note: intersexuality is a medical condition, usually chromosomal or hormonal, whereby one's primary and/or secondary sex characteristics take on nonstandard configurations. historically this condition was known as "hermaphroditism" after the greek god Hermaphroditus who had both a penis and breasts (a common enough combination for intersex people). the rate of intersex people who are transgender is the same as for dyadic (the word for non-intersex) people. intersexuality is not related to being transgender. intersexuality is also not a "lifestyle". you may have had it confused with "polyamory" (a lifestyle involving romantic relationships which are non-monogamous). when she said "i will not cut off my sex organs" she was likely referring to a specific marginalization faced by intersex people, whereby their doctors will insist their perfectly-functioning genitals or reproductive organs are "wrong" and should be removed. this is very common. it is, in fact, so common that such sterilizing cosmetic surgeries are often performed on infants, many times without even informing the parents. the doctor will simply cut out functioning, if malformed, tissue and then call the child a "girl" because they don't have visible external genitalia. again, this has nothing at all to do with transgender people or their struggle for rights, it is something that affects only people with intersex conditions. i am a medical doctor with an intersex condition who is, incidentally, also transgender, and it makes me keenly aware of these differences.

[@RND_ADV_X]

When I was 11, my step father took me to the er room of Waukesha memorial hospital and I had a chromosome test. The doctor told me on my second visit (to receive the results) that I needed to decide then and there if I wanted to be "a man" or "a woman" when I grow up, which would decide which drugs they would put me on. I liked being myself, and said i disagreed with parts of both men and women... but that wasn't an option in 1986.

[@therealDannyVasquez]

@@RND_ADV_X So, what happened? Did they force you decide and forced drugs and surgery on you? Sounds like you have a mega interesting story to share. Hope you're doing well

[@thecraftycyborg9024]

A heads up- in much of the queer community, allosexual refers to a person who is not asexual. The term for non-intersex people is dyadic.

[@demo2823]

Still, at least half her gender conversation is a symptom of her mental health. She keeps talking about herself as a man being pressured by society to be subservient to women and needing to get a wife- which we know isn't a thing that actually happens. Then she pivots to saying that black people are attacking her for being female and smart. So she is in this confused state where she feels that both men and women are the victim of society's sexism, while she flip flops between which one society thinks she is. I'm willing to bet she isn't actually intersex but that her schizophrenia leads her to believe she is.

The upstart one sounds like a case where everybody involved was trying to create a legitimate product, but everything that could go wrong did because everybody made increasingly idiotic decisions or simply procrastinated on making intelligent ones.

[@protoman504]

I'm surprised you didn't mention mythic games and the like 4 games they should have delivered that raised over 1mil and the money just disappeared. Not to mention making the backers pay for shipping multiple times.

[@AesirSW]

I like how I looked at a single "Star Colonies" card and thought "This is just bootleg Star Realms", also you really do have to hate when the Sun commands you to run away with everyone's money but not finish making the thing they paid you to make and then the government does it too.

[@ChaseMC215]

Awesome video, maybe Tallarico will get a stop motion backgammon board

[@majortusk]

we need a kickscammers on the Monsterpocalypse Board game. Mythic Games deserves one as well. their full catalog of delays and demanding money to even ship games that players had paid for shipping already. mainly the game Darkest Dungeon, Monpoc was fully funded and will never ship.

[@Nealuigi]

I'm so happy you talked about Katalyka. Learning that "the sun told me to not make the game" wasn't the end of the story, but only the real beginning is amazing. It's a shame that the creator started having mental breakdowns and likely needs a lot of mental help.

[@noahcantstop]

It seems weird to include the last one, especially the personal communications with her. She's clearly mentally ill (then and now) and her buyers, according to your video, seem to recognize that. It's not a scam, it's a health crisis.

[@pinkeye6803]

Yes, but you ignore one last part. Including it, might give more clicks and earn more money, so eff anyone's mental health or privacy if you can exploit it, no matter how small.

[@dnprime1737]

the video title shows it's not just scams, it's also crazy campaign stories. so the last one fits.

[@blinkingbat7447]

Plus he constantly reuses content, if you just search for sun in his channel you see that that specific segment was an entire video for example. I hadn't watched for a while and figured he was just in a slump when I stopped watching, but now it appears he's just lazy and in it for the money.

[@etansivad]

I know someone that successfully kickstarted a board game, one the second try. On the first try they got to $40k out of $50k, then cancelled it because realistically it wasn't enough to fund the production of a board game. OK, fine. On the second try they set the goal at $10k, then declared it "THE FASTEST BOARD GAME TO REACH FUNDING IN KICKSTARTER HISTORY!" My brother, you cancelled that last kickstarter with more funds. Don't lie and say it was funded at the 10k mark. (To their credit, they did successfully launch by hitting $200k+, but christ that was such a lie on their page to say it was "funded" at $10k)

Can you look into Evil Dead 2 board game kickstarter? raising $700,000, sadly some of that was mine, and after everything I believe they were running a pyramid scam, using the money raised from one kickstarter to fund the last kickstarter campaign and so on, until one failed to get funding and we were left with scraps. Side note another company picked up the project and actually sent out the game but it wasn’t nearly what we were promised.

[@silmarian]

In my experience, anyone who puts Mensa on their CV or brings it up as a qualification is best avoided. It’s a group that gets together to brag about how smart they are and nearly every Mensa member I’ve met who’s made their membership a core part of their identity has been insufferable at best.

[@TheMysteryDriver]

Especially when there's Triple 9 and the Prometheus society to claim

[@Stomski]

"Master the stretch goals"? The stretch goals of the big players like Awaken Realms, CMoN etc. are already budgeted for. They start their funding goals way lower than the actual viable level as they're confident in the backer level they'll get. It's all marketing and it clearly seems to work... Unfortunately.

[@Yak1312]

You could tell without lookin at the Knight that the chess game was stop motion. For those of us who are very familiar with it it’s use, the odd janky motion is a dead give away.

[@deannacolegate4147]

Kickstarter needs to add protection for backers. If these companies knew they would have to repay us for nondelivery they may stopped scamming. If they knew they would get sued or in trouble legally maybe they would stop scamming backers.

You can't do magnetic chess because the knight exists. If other pieces are in the way it MUST jump over.

This is reasonably solved by making the pieces thin and able to do diagonal moves. Also, like the video shows, magnetic chess _does_ already exist.

11:00 Electronic chess boards with pieces have been around since at least the early 1980s. Of course this still requires the player to physically move the AI's pieces to the spot indicated by lights. If someone did come up with a chess board so advanced the AI could physically move its own pieces it wouldn't be on some BS online funding scam, it would already be produced by a major game company like Parker Brothers and it would be in stores!

I don't doubt this Molly person was harrased but it seems that she's blaming "racist" and black people for her shortcomings, rather than taking responsibility and learning from criticism. This may make me seem cold-hearted, and yes, I am cold-hearted. I believe Molly is not stable enough to be an entrepreneur. To succeed as an entrepreneur, one must learn to take criticism, and Molly doesn't appear to have that ability because she tends to be too emotional. Before any of you try to use the mental condition card, one; stop it and you're no help and second; there are people with mental conditions who are successful entrepreneurs.

Is saying I made less money than I would of doing literally any full time job really evidence you're a great entrepreneur? And that's being generous as it doesn't consider the cost of the products you made, as I'm guessing whatever you were selling wasn't being grown on trees in your backyard or magically appearing in your room. So how much of said 25k was spent on the resources and equipment needed to create said product? Selling X amount of product doesn't mean you made X amount in profit.
