FAQ

I live in Panama/Canada/Nicaragua/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?

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now I can't find my glasses!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on faith, trust and pixie dust, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

Where is the table?

There is currently a bug in Kbin that breaks table formatting in posts. When this is fixed, I will start inlining tables again.
