Starfriends: The 5-Star Game About What Everyone Else Thinks
A party game where you get into your friends' heads. Kinda like a blend of Wavelength and Letterboxd that fits into a deck of cards.
www.kickstarter.com
Looking for a party game that combines social deduction with the pleasant absurdity of rating animals, films, and the weather on a scale of ★ to ★★★★★? And it's just a simple deck of cards? AND it's live on Kickstarter now?!?! Guess what, STARFRIENDS has launched! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bra...

listen we're at 186% with just over 24 hours to go. if your brain is anything like mine you love a nice, round number like 200%. SO if you've been on the fence OR you're just learning about this game, grab a deck (or a shirt) and help nudge us to the finish line!

happy Q-UP day everybody!!! get on this one. it’s a love letter to randomness, a brilliant satire of esports, and a well-deserved sendup of tech visionaries. and yet! at the same time: it also runs so deep beyond its RNG, works great as an actual esport, and may even be a little bit visionary. 10/10
