I think another thing with kickstarters is the false idea of a “bargain”. At the end of the day, once you’ve got all the additional pledge items (it’s rare to see just one box, particularly with any “boardgame with minis” projects) you could have spent £400-£500 in a frenzy of FOMO spending.

Half the time you could get just as many miniatures (if not a better quality), for an established rule system (rather than pledging blindly on rules that are “TBC” at the time of the kickstarter).

There’s few KS schemes that perk my interest these days (I’ve become REALLY picky), and if there’s no FULL “Lets Play Videos” on Youtube it will not get a look in.

Resist the FOMO, don’t be a sheep, buy games that you will play repeatedly (rather than just the one run through which some KS schemes are designed to do), and finally really, really look at the rules and not at all the nice renders 🙂
