New Card Game coming soon on Kickstarter

[virusboom]

Hello to everyone,
as you are expert in this field, i would like to know your opinion about this game that i've created.

Since I am a school professor, I've decided to create a virus themed game that allows you to remember good habits such as wearing a mask, social distancing and washing your hands. All this, of course, in the form of a dynamic game with a strong strategic component.

The pre-launch website is www.virusboom.online

Your feedback is super important for me. Thank you in advance for your opinion and for accepting me in this forum.

I dunno...  It looks a little too "on the nose" right about now, if you know what I mean.  Not to mention that by the time you're getting these cards produced and distributed, many people will likely want to forget as much as they can about the current pandemic rather than be reminded by a card game.

Based strictly on what I'm seeing in the cards themselves (artwork, game mechanics, etc.), it looks like a very simple game - so simple that some might see it as a hastily-made attempt to cash in on a worldwide disaster and a lot of people's misery.

It's not the best place, I would agree, but were it actually not in development but in production or on Kickstarter, it would be relegated to the Conversation Parlor topics, not the Playing Card Plethora.  We reserve the PCP for decks that conform (at least loosely) to the international standard, but the Parlor is really for conversation on any topic, including non-standard card games.  We just don't have a terribly huge audience for it - most of our collectors aren't interested.  I'd never disinvite someone from posting about it, but I wouldn't want someone getting their hopes too high about starting a spirited conversation on it, either.
