End of the Kickstarter campaign!
The World Dumbination campaign closed only 31% funded. So World Dumbination will not go into production this time. We would probably not be able to make a less popular game if we tried to do it, keeping up with the look and quality of World Dumbination! 😀
There are no plans to relaunch the game in the near future, but we probably can’t stay away from a new launch if Trump gets reelected! The game won’t be the same without USA, so we can hope for the worst 😉 We suspect the game only needs some minor changes in that case. Maduro would probably been gone by then, but the contours of a new crazy leader are appearing in a neighboring country so that could work. So keep following us to see what we will come up with next!
World Dumbination launched on Kickstarter!

THE GAME I WOULD PLAY WITH MY FRIENDS!
When creating World Dumbination I wanted to make a game which I would like to play with my friends! I like strategy games but also like a lot of interaction between the players. When your friends are over for a game night, it should be no reason to just sit around the table silently pushing cubes! In World Dumbination you interact with your fellow players all the time.
I also wanted to create a game that starts off a bit unbalanced. Since players have different starting points it gives an extra edge to the game. It also makes it more fun to play over and over as you can change the nation and starting point and try some different tactics.
We have a date!
We will launch World Dumbination on Kickstarter tuesday April 23th! Subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated! 🙂
We have a month!
We have been working on a launch date for a while now, but experience has taught us that even the smallest things can take a lot of time. But we know we will launch the game on Kickstarter in April!
Some may ask why it takes so much time to make and launch a game on Kickstarter, and the best answer is because we haven’t done it before! The only thing that seems to take the amount of time as expected is the video, but that is something our designer has done a lot of before.
We are far from having the amount of followers we want, so we still need to try to market the game some more. This is actually what takes the most time, so we will just have to focus of launching the game at some point!
Watch out for more updates coming soon!
PROBLEM SOLVING!
Designing games are all about problem solving. You constantly make up problems that needs to be solved!
I like to show some typically problems that needed to be solved during the design of World Dumbination. If you don’t know anything of the game please take a quick peak at the main web pages to get an overview of the game!
I haven’t met very big problems on this game, and most issues have been solved in just an hour or two. But I have other games lying around that I needs quite the effort to solve a problem that has stopped the whole design process. All problems should be solvable, but it just takes a lot of time sometimes.
WORLD DUMBINATION
World Dumbination is a fun asymmetric strategy game for 2 – 5 players, on Kickstarter now!
The main inspiration for the game was when some world leaders argued like small children sitting in a sandpit. And that is the idea behind how the leaders are illustrated.
The story
For decades our planet has been monitored by alien species. Worried by recent events, enormous alien spaceships are sent towards earth. Announcing they come to save us from our self-inflicted fate, people rush to get onboard the spaceships. But the aliens will only let the smart people on-board, leaving the less gifted behind. Most of the leaders get in, but some didn’t make the cut, for more or less obvious reasons.
In world Dumbination you play as these five leaders left on earth; Trump, Maduro, Putin, Erdoğan and of course Kim Jong-un!
We won a prize!
World Dumbination won the prize for the “Least anticipated War game for 2019” on Boardgamegeek! Well, this is just a bit of fake news since it off course isn’t a prize for that! But we are happy we were far away from winning in that category. As a bit of a surprise to us, the game got nominated in the War game category. World Dumbination has a structure and plays a bit like a war game, and you fight your opponents with bombs and military units. But since it is a totally unserious and funny game, it is more of a parody for a war game than an actual war game! The hardcore war gamers wouldn’t touch this game even with gloves on, and we would probably be banned from Boardgamegeek winning that category with World Dumbination! 😀 If it had been a category for the most anticipated Warty (war & party!) game, World Dumbination had won that category easily! 😛
Just now we are working with making prototypes to send out to reviews, a Kickstarter date will be set soon after the games are sent out.
