I suppose someone will have to explain this one to me, cuz I don't get it.
Fruit Ninja; the swipey, chopping up fruit game is going to now be a board game? AND a card game? How does that work? Who thought this would be a good idea? No one, i'll bet. Who the hell would be interested in that?
Oh...they had a kickstarter, huh? Well that doesn't necessarily mean its a good idea, it just means that...oh, they got it? Really? How much?
Ten grand? Seriously? They need ten grand to make a damned- they already have over TWENTY? What? Geez, I suppose some fanboys must have all gathered up their lunch money and...no way. FOUR HOURS? They got twenty grand in FOUR hours?
Alright, fine. I guess it's a good idea. It still seems weird though, and...eh, I'll shut up now.
Fruit Ninja will come in three flavors, and you can read all about em below in the official announcement. The first of the three game in the Fruit Ninja Tabletop Game Series is called Fruit Ninja: Card Master, and it's scheduled to release in August of 2018 for $29.
