Title: Agents of SMERSH
Post by: Scott on January 29, 2012, 09:40:09 am
This game seems to be very popular on Kickstarter. It looks well-designed, though the video was pretty terrible quality. They have a Kickstarter bonus and a stretch reward at $30k. There are 50 days remaining and the project is almost 100% funded.

What's the catch? It's a story-telling game. :-\ It was originally designed to be played with an enormous Encounter Book with lots of reading. They've simplified it down to an Encounter Deck of cards, which is still a lot of reading. (The Encounter Book is available for those who want it for an additional $20.)

I'm not personally getting involved in this one, but maybe some of you guys enjoy this type of game.

It looks like it might be interesting.  It got a pretty legit endorsement.

Looks good, but I'm out - I just can't justify pledging the amount of cash I would need to secure a copy.

They are really playing to people's vanity with those high level rewards... smart.
