Same here. Probably the platinum level unless I talk myself down to gold before then.

Time to finally cancel my CnC subscription and get on board this. I've been so disappointed with CnC this year and this looks perfect to fill the void.

The stretch goal is just about 2 backers away.

The stretch goal is just about 2 backers away. Looks like the $130k one has been passed. Time to unveil the $170k one.

I don't mean to be pessimistic, but given the pace of the campaign and with only seven days left, unless there's some huge media push that they're going to do, or they add tiers that would allow people to buy multiple copies, I don't think there's much chance at all for the next stretch goal to be reached. Still, getting three bonus items and two bonus puzzles is awesome, and I'd say the campaign has been a huge success given the niche nature and high cost of the experience.

Well, I still hope that there will be a boost in the final days. The poker themed goal looks so great!

Well, I still hope that there will be a boost in the final days. The poker themed goal looks so great! There have been quite a few campaigns I've backed that have included a stretch goal if it's "close enough". Not to get false hopes up, but that could also be a possibility. And on a less optimistic note, Kickstarter projects do indeed tend to have a boost in the final days. But they also tend to experience a slew of last-minute pledge cancellations. It all depends on the project for how those numbers affect the campaign. In short, only time will tell.

What lucasscooter is saying above is 100% right. I suspect that there will be a number of platinum pledgers who will downgrade their pledge to a cheaper level in the last couple of days, but also that if Simulacra Games does a big social media push and adds tiers that will allow people to buy multiple copies like they just announced that they will, there could be an influx of money. As lucasscooter said, only time will tell.
Occasionally, campaigns have some ace up their sleeve, like a backer who's going to donate a ton of money waiting in the wings to see how close they are to getting funded and/or getting to a stretch goal, and then in the last moments that backer donates the difference. I've only seen that happen with campaigns where there was some kind of celebrity or major media connection, so I doubt that will happen here, but who knows? I will say that the poker chip stretch goal looks much more involved than the others announced so far, as it basically invents a whole new location with flyers and letters associated with it in addition to the chip and the puzzle.

I'm also intrigued by how this campaign is run. The campaign shows no spoilers, so nothing that we see is a part of the finished product - including the stretch goals? I'm excited regardless, but interesting that they are attracting backers with one thing, and at the same time promising that you will not get this.

I believe by "no spoilers" they simply mean that the puzzle solutions they reveal in the marketing material are not the actual solutions. So there might actually be a puzzle that involves accordion-folding a game board, but the solution won't be the word "fate" like in the marketing materials.

The media attention might get a litte push here

I am a little nervous about doing another crowdfunding project because of the lengthy delay with Armchair, and the unfulfilled promises of Filigree, so I've been avoiding these threads, but... I'm weak and I need to fill the void left by C&C. I really, really hope this is as good as it looks.

Next stretch goal is at the horizon. With some last minute backers we could actually get there. 4 days left.

I just noticed this, but do you think the original goal amount is supposed to be Illuminati confirmed? It seems like kind of an arbitrary value. Or maybe they just really love the number 3.
