Kickstarter has poured more than $2 million dollars of funding into the board game industry in the past year. Normally this would be seen as a tremendous benefit to the market, the industry, and the consumers. But there is a segment of the board game hobby that is taking the position that Kickstarter is bad for the industry.I have invited Chris Norwood, who writes at gamerchris.com, to come on the show and discuss this interesting position. He has written extensively about this position, taking a strong stand against those who would claim harm from Kickstarter.The conversation is interesting and worth listening.Enjoy!
