The Majority Complete Collection-Kickstarter

If there's one thing I really like it's games, especially card games. They're one of my favorite things to play since it's rather easy to teach people how to play and is an engrossing experience.

So when I was browsing the traditional games on Kickstarter I was surprised to see one for The Majority-Complete collection.
The Majority Collection-What $25 gets you

The Majority is a doujinshi game (an independent printed and created game) by the circle Ayatsurare Ningyoukan; The Majority is made only by two people. Those people are Muneyuki Yokouchi; an indie board game developer who has been making games since 2006 and Kiyoshi Arai; an illustrator who has worked on video games (including Final Fantasy 12 and 14). The objective is forming strong political factions and gaining money in the supernatural filled world of Pandemonium.

While The Majority looks rather simple it is played with 3-4 players so the instructions tell all but The Majority 2 is played with two people and the cards reflect it with instructions on the cards.

For the Kickstart itself the company, Ninja Star Games is asking for only $10,000 as their goal which would break down to $5,000 for each game. The game pledge is only $25 which is not entirely bad at all for two games.

Most likely the reason for the $10,000 has to deal with paying the developer and illustrator, translating the game, editing and typesetting, and the actual printing and shipping of the game itself. If this succeeds we may be getting more Japanese games translated into English as Ninja Star Games goal is to find gems and get them translated into English, a more international appeal and more importantly to play more fun games.
