After three days Cheapass Games’ Stuff and Nonsense: The Inevitable Aftermath of Professor Elemental’s Imaginary Polar Expedition, a tabletop game about Victorian Adventurers who never leave London, easily surpassed its $25,000 goal by amassing $29,308 with 27 days still to go in its Kickstarter run.  Stuff and Nonsense is a heavily revised version of the Captain Park’s Imaginary Polar Expedition game, which Cheapass Games published in 2002.  James Ernest of Cheapass Games, who designed Stuff and Nonsense, told ICv2 that the new game will be released in March of 2015 and will have an MSRP of $25.00.
 
Stuff and Nonsense is a card game that plays like a board game.  It is also an adventure game with no real adventuring.  Players are all liars and cowards, who, despite their protestations to the contrary, have never left London.  Instead players sneak through the back streets of that fog-shrouded metropolis gathering evidence of their imaginary travels like "Artifacts," "Photographs," "Facts," and "Specimens" before heading to the Adventurers Club to prevaricate wildly about their imaginary expeditions.
 
When players think they have acquired enough "stuff" to back up their specious tales, they present their findings at the Club and trade the cards for points.  Stuff and Nonsense can accommodate from 2-6 players (ages 12 and up), and takes just about one hour to play.  Cheapass Games has a beta PnP version of the game that prospective players can download to read/play in order to decide whether they like it.
