How much would you pay?

As someone who has never played TFT and will only buy it because of brand loyalty and good reviews, I think $60 is a good price. If it was $200, I may as well just buy an old copy on ebay.

$60 for the boxed set is a great price point to me. I would also be more than happy to buy Melee and Wizard in a shop for twenty bucks each. Much more than that and it gets harder to justify as an impulse buy or quick play game. Certainy one of the things keeping me out of 5e D&D is the expense of multiple full colour hardcovers.

I did plump for ODE, but that brought a LOT of stuff and I have been playing Ogre steadily for decades. TFT I haven't played since high school.

$60 does seem like a very reasonable price for a Kickstarter, especially as this one will consist of two board games and a full RPG. However, I have to factor in postage and customs charges to the UK, so I’d be surprised if I have any change from £100 sterling.

I've been playing it for roughly 40 years now, and I just want to say two things:

1) I think you are going to be even more pleased than you have been with his many other great designs, and;

2) In a way, I envy you the experience you are about to have -- I can only compare it to starting to read Lord of the Rings, and realizing a couple of chapters into Fellowship of the Ring, just how much you're going to enjoy the entire trilogy...

Welcome to TFT and boy, is it an amazing ride! ;-)
