Rebels Against Rebellion (C-) Final Grade - How many minutes!? - Kickstarter Critique Clip
Transcript
Let's get to a final grade. This one's all over the board. This is a fun one. Do I want it? Yeah, I do. I really do. I am a historically themed nerd. The first two minutes of the video was a nice personal touch telling me a little bit about the game and why I could be excited. So, do I want it? Yes. Also, at the end of the day, keep that core concept in your mind that the MSRP on this game from two highly prestigious designers from a game company that's made numerous games in the past to ship them out is only $65. That is a good price. If I just told you that in a bubble, you'd be like, "Oh, that feels like this. That's great, right? Can you do it?" Yes. Not worried about that. Could you have spotlighted that? way way like literally like there's like this like those are just the sky Trevor Benjamin has his own awakened realms style award list which by the way Trevor I would make that graphic and then I would have that graphic continually updated and any company that you work with would be like hey by the way I would like this graphic included in your Kickstarter page and be like it's not for me It's for you. It immediately lends so much credibility just because at the end of the day, yeah, maybe these are war game stuff, right? Like, oh, but they're not all and it doesn't matter if they are war game stuff. Nobody's taking the time to intricately look at these awards. Yeah, those aren't those aren't all white games. Okay. Either way, cater to it is
a resounding yes. And how much is it the price? Whoa, boy. We beat around a bush for a long time with a lot of stuff that probably should have be no way, shape, or form above the price. We didn't doll up anything on the left side. We have the worst early bird structure I have ever seen in,200 Kickstarter critiques. Congratulations, Rebels against Rebellion. You have done it. I've been thinking about it since I saw that 30 minutes and I was like, is this the worst early bird I've ever seen in my entire life? Which once again, I've seen a lot of them. Yes, you pulled it off. I feel like that by itself is a full point CR bump out.
Like like if I can ever say that I think you did something worse than every other Kickstarter project that I have ever seen before, then yeah, that's a full point grade bump down just on top of everything because the 30 minutes is stupid. Everyone who doesn't get there is going to be annoyed and your market immediately told you that your price was bad. It was bad. They were your most loyal fans. They made the time to show up 30 minutes and they're like, "Ah, you want the deluxe? IT CLOSES. IT CLOSES IN 30 MINUTES. YOU GOT IT. I don't need that. Oh boy. And that is just the hugest like it it it feels like this is a company that is slowly hopefully getting pulled kicking and screaming out of the war game category and more into the board game category when it comes to expected industry standard because this main image could be a banger. this. There could be so much on this page that would be a banger where you would not even think twice about $65. Why do we just Why do we just do the true deluxified and be like, "This game is beautiful. We got stretch goals playing. It's $65.
That's it. $65. You get this. You get these two extra things and it's nobody bats an eye." Like, nobody bats an eye at that point. It's the fact that you put the $45 there in the first place and then you expected us to believe that these two completely unnecessary aspects to your game are supposed to be $20 or for your your most loyal fans $19. What are we doing here? And then $20 shipping United States of America, which feels terrible because YOU SHOULD HAVE SUBSIDIZED SHIPPING UNITED STATES OF America like the majority of people here are going to be from the United States of America no matter what. on Kickstarter, but especially considering your game is about the civil freaking war. Like, oh, hey guys, we like great. I'm great. There's more Australian backers than 22, but you know, would that be more than It's just just the priorities feel off. Either way, this game looks awesome. I'm excited for it. Final grade is a is it in the middle? I think it's in the middle, but then that stretch go that just like why? And I can't help but think that that's the only reason why they put their shopping section so incredibly far down the page is that they were ashamed of it. Like I'm legitimately curious. I want to see on these other two board games if this is just their technique or if they actually mention the price earlier on because it's just oh stretch goes up high.
That's exciting. That's fun. And then add-ons. Hey Sean, the price seems pretty okay. It does. It really does seem very actually solidly and okay. It's just of how they presented it and you could tell seven to 10 times industry standard. They didn't even hit one. Is that Yeah. Why are we wasting our time getting this shot? Yeah. Okay. I don't know. Final grades. Um boy howdy. C. I think it's a C because these designers are slam dunk home run, right? Like there's just they're going to bring people to this potentially if you just spotlight it. This theme also same thing. It's just going to bring people in. You being in this historical lane also is going to give people a little bit more sympathy, leeway, whatever you want to say with like just being a little bit behind the industry standard, I think. And yet still you underwhelmed massively on your deluxe version. And it's not it's not me saying it. It's it's the people like not even breaking one to one on deluxe to standard. And it's just the decision not to pivot after the first 30 minutes more people like yeah I don't need that crap.
your most loyal dieh hard fans. Like, I'm surprised it's even as close as it is now. Okay. So, yeah, I'm going to go C minus Rebels Against Rebellion. Um, really interesting one. I'm excited to see what their next project looks like looks like. I I I sincerely do believe that that is the worst early bird that I've ever seen in my life, though. But let me know in the comments below what's your final grade for Rebels against Rebellion. And have you ever seen a worse stretch goal down or not stretch goal uh the word that I said down below? And tomorrow special shout out Stamp Ship Tactics launching.
Gonna be checking it out. Have yourself a good one. Bye-bye.
