Just a quick correction for your title, the project ends at midnight EST, or 11pm CST.

Thanks, updated.

I wasn't exactly sure of the end time. It said 11 hours back around 12:30PM, so to err on the side of caution I assumed 11PM rather than midnight.

If you look directly below the backers/dollars/hours left statistics on the KS page, you'll see this message against a dark background: "THIS PROJECT WILL BE FUNDED ON WEDNESDAY FEB 8, 12:00AM EST." That's where I got midnight from.

While the bag would be nice, I have a few crown royal bags that will work just as well - while keeping my old school rep intact.

We dream of having crown royal bags to hold game chits in. Right now our games like Crows and Carc get pulled from doggie poop bags

So why all the excitement about 3-4 player expansion? I've only looked at the game briefly, but it seems like a pretty abstract game with a minor (though interesting) theme. Wouldn't that be best as a 2-player game anyway?

Thanks for moving this to the appropriate place. Unfortunately this forum seems devoid of people who don't regularly follow everything going on on Kickstarter, and therefore has no chance of reaching people who would otherwise be interested (but don't care to keep up with everything KS-related), and consequently no real purpose.

I understand the Hot Deals section could become a mess if tons of Kickstarter links are posted, but I thought my reasoning in the original post was good enough to justify posting it there (namely that it's not a push for funding, because the game has already successfully been funded, so from here on out it just becomes a better deal for funders).

I follow the KickStarter forum, and only see things like this when they get moved in or posted here in the first place.

Also, BGG is not anyone's personal press agent, and proper organization is more important than posting what's basically an unpaid advertisement where you think it will get the most eyeballs.

BGG does, in fact, have an advertising program, and I suspect it's quite efficient. I know I, for one, have clicked on quite a few ads here on BGG.

I won't doubt your specific case, but given that this thread has 1 response in the last 3 hours vs the responses it had in the Hot Deals section likely indicates my point about the KS specific forums.

I realize BGG forums aren't a free advertising platform, but I'm not Tasty Minstrel Games, nor am I affiliated with them or the designer. I'm just a person who bought into what I thought was a good Kickstarter deal, and figured I'd share about it in the Hot Deals section.

Further, D-Day Dice is a game I only found out about because it was posted in the Hot Deals section, and it was allowed to stay there.

Currently Shadow Era is listed in the Hot Deals section, and if you click on the link in the first post of that thread, you'll see that it's basically a pseudo-Kickstarter drive, and it's been allowed to stay in the Hot Deals section for 2 weeks and counting.

I can understand if there's a set policy in place, and everything considered advertising/Kickstarter'ish was moved, but that doesn't appear to be the case. So how do the mods decide what to move, and what's allowed? Their own personal interest?

Doggie poop bags? Luxury. We used to keep our cardboard dominoes in a half of a moth-eaten potato sack, and we only got to play once a week!

Agreed this place is kind of the kiss of death for topics. However I do think that kickstarter "deals" should be reserved for things that are really amazing. Meeting its goal and getting an expansion and a few extra chits is decent but not something to fret if it doesnt get smoke signals. Where as things like D-Day Dice or Shadow Era with the insane amount of extra goodies, THOSE make tons of sense to post in deal forums.
