Elan Lee and Matthew Inman’s latest creation, Bears vs Babies, continues to attract backers to its crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. The initiative was launched earlier this month by the duo, seeking only $10,000. Within a matter of days, the project successfully secured $1 million. Now the project has surpassed $1.8 million from 48,300 backers.
Bears vs Babies is described as a card game with one goal: for players to create monsters that go to war with babies. Players sit in a circle and draw cards. Players pick two types of cards (bears and babies). Bears are to built and will include heads, torsos, arms, and legs. Babies are played immediately into the center of the table. They will form a baby army, which must be stopped by all players in the game. Players will go to war by provoking babies. If the monster is stronger than the babies, they will win that battle and eat those babies. If babies are strong than creatures, they will win and your army will be devoured.
The Bears vs Babies core pack ($25) will include 80 cards for 2-4 players while the core deck with NSFW expansion pack ($35) will contain 80 cards with a pack of extra-awful cards (not kid friendly).
In a recent Twitter post, Lee revealed why he decided to back his own project. Earlier this summer, he decided to start backing various projects just to write about what they do, what kind of superpowers he wants from them, and how happy did the backing make him.
