You're gonna have to be a stupid board game.
Why? Why? Explain it to me, okay? The example
of this that we're gonna bring our folks today,
and I love Assassin's Creed. Everybody who knows
me knows I love me some Assassin's Creed. I do,
okay? It's a great, great franchise. But, but
look, okay? What? Okay. It's just, it's a board
game. Immersive board game? No, I'm sorry. Wait,
where, where on this board? Where on this board
am I infiltrating historic settings? Show me.
Right now. Where? Where? No, I'm not. I'm not.
You'll infiltrate. It's he's got he's missing
an arm. Look at this. You'll infiltrate breathtaking
historical. I bet it won't look like that on
the board game and stalk your target. No. No,
I bet you I'm not going to. Brings their own
time. Location. OK. Enemies. I'm sure there is
a card to jump into chat. Thank you for an exciting
experience with decisions to make. No missions
and endless replayability. Assassin's Creed Animus
is more than a board game. It's your gateway
to a world of stealth and adventure. Why? Look,
I like board games. I really do. They're cool,
right? They're super fun. Super fun. Why do we
have to make everything a board game? This really
does not make any sense at all. Like anyone that
would be anyone that's a fan of Assassin's Creed
is going to be playing Assassin's Creed the video
game and not the board game. It doesn't it does
not make sense. I like board games, right? And
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.
They are a very, very popular piece of entertainment.
And I love board games. I have some board games
downstairs that I absolutely adore, okay? And
experiences and stuff that you can do with board
games that you can't do in video games, okay?
And board games absolutely have their place.
Again love them I I don't under we don't need
to license everything to a board game Okay Excuse
me This Kickstarter is actually not doing great
for such a big franchise. It's only at a hundred
and eighty three thousand With fourteen hundred
sixty six backers, that's not huge because no
one wants it i i i don't understand what we're
doing there's a solo mood mode what i just don't
again i don't understand what we're attempting
here This has to be someone's like, I don't know,
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. It's not it hasn't
raised that much for I'm telling you, for a Kickstarter,
one hundred and forty three thousand is not is
not especially again with a licensed IP like
this. That is not a big number. With only night
they'll get some last minutes so they'll get
some they'll get some jumps, but yeah, that's
not a great number Yeah, I just I Don't get it
right and this kind of brings us back to our
last segment, right? Magic does all the universes
be on set. So we license everything into magic
and added into magic. Oh Which I almost feel
is less ridiculous than trying to make a board
game out of Assassin's Creed Right. Actually,
so here's here's your question. What ridiculous
IP would you make into a board game into a terrible
board game, Jay? I would do. What is it? Is it
called the war room from the X -Men? There you
go. 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
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.
Oh, there you go. The danger room the danger
room. There you go. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I
would do stupid We don't need to license everything
into a board game Okay, there's certain places
where the IP should just not cross over right
some places IP crossover makes a lot of sense,
right? This is this is not one of them. So Stop
it just stop, please
