i pretty sure everybody in queue gets on Collapsible D (the last boat) regardless of age or gender. you get less points, however, since it capsizes on launch as it did back in 1912.

cohort: a co-worker, someone doing a similar job, an associate, someone who has the same title, someone who's ALSO a moderator on this forum

said cohort made killing kids reference at BGG...even after commenting favorably of the game on this here forum.

despite what you say there seems to be quite a few people not purchasing the game because of this moral dilemma. that coupled with the fact that the developers turn out to be the same for the never, ever supported app Kingsburg, AND the fact that i've had no response from our friends in italy kinda tells me this app won't fair well in terms of future support. but like i said, i hope i'm wrong.

Haters got to hate. Were those protesters originally going to buy Collapsible D, or is it just a convenient bandwagon to hop on to diss a game, just to feel morally superior? My theory is that those who wanted would have bought it, while those who didn't are just looking for justification to look good.

Ah, I see. I know what cohort means (thank you for the dictionary.com info though), I just didn't realize that a fellow mod posted on BGG. This is such a niche title that I really wonder how many sales are getting affected by the controversy. I'd be pretty surprised if they're expecting a big market (although I'm sure they'd love it), especially since the physical version was limited to a run of 1,000 sold only on their web site.

nope...that was off the top of my head! but i'm glad dictionary.com agrees!

when you say the board game was limited to 1000, does that mean only 1000 were ever sold or the publisher (or whomever) only "made" 1000 copies? from what i've read here, there, and everywhere (beatles.com) i'd say the number of people not buying the digital game because of this silly notion of disgracing those that did perish is significant.

too bad cuz i like the game but would like to see a few updates to correct a few things. i get frustrated when people nitpick games i like because the developer then goes "oh well, no sales, no support". oh well, one consolation is i got it in english for $4.99, before they raised the price.

I'm not positive but I believe they only produced 1,000 copies of the physical game.
