I have to say that "Be an Investor" is a really neat idea and would make a great gift. I've heard of this game and have seen some videos of people playing it, this breakdown makes the game a little easier to understand than those previous videos I've seen. I'll probably keep an eye out for this in the future.
I get what you're saying, but you can still pick up the game cheaper (and possibly with more content) at the Kickstarter than you would retail anyway, so I don't see the problem. It's win-win for everyone. :)
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Cassius Kashton thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
NOTE FROM BGG: "...we have made an error in judgment in the new presentation of this terrific game. So we have cancelled the current Kickstarter project for I'm the Boss and we will go "back to the drawing board" and redesign it graphically. We sincerely do appreciate the constructive input that we have received on BGG and elsewhere about this and we hope that what we come up with will be far more appealing the next time around. Rick, for Gryphon and Eagle Games"
This game was released a number of times before. This is one of the real good ones. If you have questions about it, go on Boardgamegeek (dot) com for more info on it.
I agree mostly, with a but: kickstarter mission profile was to bring indiependants monetary support for projects they couldnt fund unto theirselves, i think thier ought to be a disclaimer on projects not of this nature (intead of calling it a kickstart, call it a preorder), these preorders ruin the specialness of the kickstart idea, they should drop the kickstart or goto amazon, imo :)
So company buys the rights to a game, then throws it on kickstart, with what intention? I dont get it, if kickstart fails, they still produce it, i think some companies are misleading genuine backers
Speaking about low backers numbers, proven22x might have explained this already. This is not a real kickstart, so people are not interested in supporting some businesses. I agree that kickstarter started looking more like advertising space.. I won't back any of such project from major/minor publishers.
The graphic design in this version is not worthy of the heritage behind this game. Seriously, put some effort into hiring a top notch graphic designer because those symbols are a distraction and make this effort to republish this look cheap and clumsy. Using Tom's preview for the actual Kickstarter video? Come on, you're a professional publisher Gryphon/Eagle, act like it. This version screams cheap and low effort. There's a reason only 4 people are backing this several days into the project.

I liked how the old artwork had the Sackson family.

When the heck are they going to reprint it? I had to buy the French Edition since it's the only cheap one I could find!

Thanks so much, you really help me out!
@Fisher Israel happy to help :D

Yeah, I don't understand why this is a Kickstarter project either.
This is a paid preview? How much do they pay?
at a decent price

The artwork on this looks totally dated and ugly... Hopefully it'll be time for another reprint with decent artwork before long...
