(Kickstarter) Steve Jackson Games Button Packs

 There are some who complain when an established company uses their Kickstarter to fun a project that's almost guaranteed for success, subverting the usual distribution chain for brick and mortar store fronts.  

Of course, there are few companies in the financially strong position, such as a WotC, or maybe an Asmodee that qualify as "established company" that would release anything other than a sufficiently funded sure thing. 

Steve Jackson Games has taken a slightly different approach during the pandemic.  Almost all of their Kickstarters are either labors of love or lower volume products.  The Kickstarter allows for the costs to be covered for general distribution, and they have a knack to offer previous Kickstarters as add-ons, to keep those products relevant.  

Steve Jackson Games Button Packs offers two different sets of buttons, plus a plethora of previous products from their Kickstarters to sweeten the pot.  

At $9,000 the buttons expand from three to six per pack, so it's tempting to tack on those dice that looked so cool, or the Fantasy Trip books, or the 1976 OGRE Playtest Booklet, or even the puzzles!
