Watch “Tiny Game Series (Before Launch) - KickSaga 16.1,” a board game interview for Sirens from Matt Rodela - Muse & Mettle Games on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Matt Rodela - Muse & Mettle Games on YouTube:
KickSaga is the video series where I interview first-time tabletop game designers who are hoping to bring their board game to life on Kickstarter.
Each interview has two parts: Part 1 where I interview them before the Kickstarter project begins, and Part 2 that happens after the campaign is over where we find out what they learned (and if they funded)!
On this episode I chat with Mathue Ryan about his Tiny Game Series and his approach to marketing three unique games in one campaign.
How did he leverage his experience of past campaigns for this one? Does he try to market each game individually or the series as a whole? And why did he decide to take this approach in the first place?
Be sure to subscribe to our channel to see part two where we'll see how the campaign went and the lessons Mathue learned.

About Sirens, from BoardGameGeek:
At long last, a lost ship has sailed into your cove! Is your song strong enough to attract the sailors away from it? On the opposite side of the cliff, another siren is surely preparing to fill the evening with notes meant to allure our new guests, as well.
Will that song overpower yours, or can you gather more sailors to your side of the cliffs?
Sirens is a quick and compact micro drafting game for 1 to 2 players, in which you'll draft cards over the course of 2 to 3 rounds to construct a song to lure sailors away from the nearby ship. The player who successfully attracts 2 of the 3 sailors with their music will win the game!
The game lasts for 2 or 3 rounds. Each round consists of 2 identical phases in which players draft cards, and then build a “song” with the cards that they kept. Each player's “song score” will be totaled on 4 conditions, and the winning song then takes a facedown card as a sailor. The first player with 2 sailors wins!
