Ad Man kickstarter project is a game for people who love advertising
Ad Man – a cool custom card game about advertising – THIS IS A GAME YOU CAN BACK RIGHT NOW BY GOING TO KICKSTARTER!
Ad-Man! is a card game about advertising mascots. Playing the role of an advertising executive, players use 60 different original mascots to gain over 30 different product accounts from clients, to sell things like soda pop, baseball teams, and fabric detergent. The winner of the game has collected the most product accounts.
I love great looking and well designed art, but most of all – I REALLY LOVE A GAME THAT IS NOT SO DIFFICULT I CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT!!
We do a lot of prototypes for kickstarter – especially prototype card games for kickstarter – and honestly from what I have seen – I think that this art is awesome and it simply looks like fun! Designer Steve Robbins has an amazing amount of talent.
This game not only has great art but it is a really PLAYABLE game. Of course that is – after all – the whole idea. You don’t just want to look at the game – you have to be able to figure out how to play it – and figure it out before everyone loses interest!!

Whether they know it or not – and whether they care to admit it or not – Everyone – deep down – loves advertising mascots! Not only are they are a great piece of American iconic imagery -(true American icons like Mr Clean and the Lucky Charm Leprechaun are hard to forget after all), they provide us with a shared visual language that is easy to understand. They’re eye-catching – persuasive and very charming. Remember Darren Stevens from Bewitched!! He was the ultimate Ad Man!! and I remember wanting to be the female version of Darren Stevens for my entire childhood. I think that this game might satisfy that urge LOL – even though I DO own an advertising agency – Ad Magic – at this point! Technically we specialize in custom playing cards – custom games and custom promotional items and NOT exactly designing custom Ad Man type campaigns like Darren Stevens did!! But it is very close to my original childhood dream and I am so very lucky. Not only do I really love what I do with an amazing passion, but I love it so much that I am even blogging about one of my clients on Mother’s Day!!
Speaking of which I need to get dressed. I am being taken out for the day. Back this project – there are lots of great levels and the game will be a blast to play!!
