It doesn't it does not make sense. I like board games, right? And

2:20 to answer somebody in the chat, right? Somebody said, didn't we move beyond board games and video games? No, board games are still extremely popular.

3:51 high school marketing project or something that they're not going to get a good grade on. Somebody sitting there going money, money, money in the chat. And here's the thing.

Yeah, VT pilot, tell me what tell me what name that is that you just kickstarted that you said. Because I actually want to compare that And actually this is a good This is a good point

5:26 So I'm gonna go back here. We're gonna look at the Assassin's Creed one. It's raised 183 thousand dollars Right, we're gonna go in and we're gonna look at this other one right this is one that's not a licensed IP small indie one and this is why I say it's not it's got two hours left and it's a 290 ,000 right it's a mech board game right but it's raised more money than an assassin's creed one by a considerable margin with less backers right I had the Star Trek next -generation VCR board game. So did I and that thing was awesome And it felt dating simulator, thank you YouTube chat, okay, yeah So yeah, which one would you make sorry like what ridiculous one? The X -Men like the the battle the war room or whatever.
