The Decemberists’ Crowd-Funded Board Game “Illimat” Raised $416,628, Ten Times Their Goal
In Collaboration with Illustrator Carson Ellis and Game Designer Keith Baker
Nov 04, 2016
The Decemberists
The Decemberists are releasing a board game named Illimat. As we previously reported, it’s been crowd funded on Kickstarter. The Kickstarter campaign just ended and did the band meet their goal? You could say that. In fact they raised nearly 10 times their goal. They had set out to raise $42,812 and the campaign totaled out at $416,628! That’s pretty far on the road to half a million dollars. Either The Decemberists have very passionate fans (5,963 of them backed the project) or we’re all in the wrong business and should be producing crowd-funded board games instead of whatever we’re doing.
The game was put together in collaboration with their longtime illustrator Carson Ellis (also frontman Colin Meloy’s wife) and game designer Keith Baker. It was inspired by a 2009 photo shoot done by photographer Autumn de Wilde when the game was mocked up by Ellis mocked up as a prop. Also, the band like to play board games before going on stage. Illimat is a game for 2-4 players and can be played in 15 minutes. Below is a video about the game. Also The Decemberists are putting out a deluxe 10th anniversary reissue of 2006’s The Crane Wife on December 9.

Be that as it may, music to you is something other than sound. It rouses you; it sustains the spirit and gets you spurred for an exercise, a prospective employee meet-up, and it de-stresses you. At the point when your day is turning sour, you plug in your earphones and tune in to music.

Aptoide iOS is a cool solution regarding all kinds of smartphones. This app market is working on a good alternative app for the Apple store. You can simply download an app for free. No matter it is a paid app, you can still get it for free. So Aptoide iOS app becomes a huge competitor for official iOS app marketing platforms also. So, most of the time all iOS users love to have this app on their smartphones. But, iOS users have no idea regarding how you can download the Aptoide iOS version on their iDevices for free.
