I'm kind of bummed about it. I've been looking forward to this a while and I really dig the new artwork. It's on Kickstarter right now for $56, and the laser-cut tokens are a $25 add-on. Nemo's War to me will never be a $56 game, and sure as hell isn't an $81 game.
So I'll wait for it to hopefully land in a VPG sale or something.
Why are you adding the laser-cut counters? It comes with a set of die-cut counters.

I'm not adding anything, because I'm not buying the game. I listed that option because the laser cut counters are a common thing with VPG games lately.

Made all the more bizarre when you check the BGG forums and the fanboys are just lapping it up over there. And I sit here saying, wait a minute: This was a $29.99 game not that long ago! I know they want to pimp out the components, but jeez, those folks must be hardcore cheerleaders to be so happy about paying $56 (+$11 shipping) for a game that used to be affordable. Hell, even the Nappy 20 series is $50-a-pop from VPG these days. I don't get it. But hey, if people really want to spend almost $70 to play a glorified chit-pushing solitaire game, be my guest.iguanaDitty wrote: Yeah I am really on the fence here. I had the first edition ages ago which was great and all the changes they've made are only for the better...but the price with the laser-cut tokens is insane.
I also think it's funny that Alan Emrich and the VPG crew don't really pay that much attention to BGG normally, but suddenly this Nemo's War Kickstarter has BGG's name (and reviewers) plastered all over it. "Bonuses for achieving Top-5 on The Hotness List!" Okay, dude, whatever.

I hope I didn't miss the *ah hem* boat on this one.
I'm sorry for that. (No I'm not).

Not to make you feel worse, but definitely pick it up if you ever run into it. There's some really strong stuff in there.

I'll swing by my shop and see if we have any. If so, I'll send it your way

But I'll admit they aren't worth half that price difference. I thought Victory Point Games was all laser cut now. I'm surprised to see them offering die-cut.

I think this is the first time they're doing die-cut, or at least one of the first times. I still think they're a really odd addition to the campaign. Sure, some folks may prefer them to die-cut (though I do not), but they're only adding confusion to an otherwise very simple campaign. Do you need the laser-cut counters? Why would I buy them? Does the game not come with cardboard counters?

All their games used to be die-cut until a couple years ago. Unless they've upgraded their process and materials, which is unlikely, their die cut counters are functional and not great. That's why they went to laser cut in the first place.
The more I think about this it might be a deal breaker for me. I agree that I was surprised laser-cut was not just the default option.

I imagine it costs a couple of bucks to run it, but it seems to me once you have it set up you go with it. Maybe there are just too many copies to be produced this time? 1000 copies doesn't seem like a lot.
Is the game any good?
