This photo from the Ogre Kickstarter is too good not to share.
Besides showing off the super awesomeness of the new Ogre it also illustrates how Steve Jackson Games is able to afford to do Ogre for $100.
As the KS site points out, the 22 Munchkin Games retail for $24.95 each, so 22 Munchkin games equals $548.90 retail value. Now some might make the comparison as an argument about relative value. I think that misses the point. Quite obviously many people have gone ahead and laid out the $25 for a small Munchkin Box with a couple hundred cards, four pages of rules and a die, Over and over again as a matter of fact. It's objectively true that -- despite having some detractors -- Munchkin has been an enormously successful product as far as sales go.
And SJG has explicitly said that Munchkin is helping pay for Ogre because there's no way they could offer it for the price otherwise.
