This makes sense only if you only ever go to one party where games are played or don't mind wasting $20-30 every time you want to play a game at a party...
Don't be silly. I go to parties with about the same crew most of the time, so replay value is not too desirable. And $20 is too much for a party game? How much does the food/drink cost? $30 is trivial, yes I do spend that on every party thank you.
Congratulations! It's Fictionary for slang, as far as I can tell? I would be worried about the size of the dictionary and replayability. A real dictionary never runs out of obscure words.
I'm thinking that this is to Balderdash as Cards Against Humanity is to Apples To Apples. (At least from my understanding. I haven't played Cards Against Humanity.)
This game is to Balderdash as Cards Against Humanity is to Apples to Apples.
There seems to be a trend of taking classic games and putting up dirty clones of them on indiegogo. Not a bad thing, just an observation. I suppose they are filling a niche that the original game manufacturer can't pursue because it would damage their image to put out a game with naughty ideas.
PS. I would like to hear what actually went into making a physical manufactured party game in only 12 weeks.
EDIT: ultramundane828 expressed the same sentiment as me slightly before me. Having played cards Cards Against Humanity, it does innovate a little grammatically over Apples to Apples by replacing adjective cards with Mad Lib cards.
To answer your PS: 1) rapidly playtesting over email and remotely with folks I'd never met 2) finding a supplier who could do the whole game quickly in the US -- though I had to pay a premium for that and make some sacrifices 3) having a plan and re-prioritizing it practically daily
(sorry for the delay here-- my darn noprocrast settings locked me out!)

I'd say then it's even more desirable.
I lost count on how many parties I've played Munchkin.
That said, I expect it's pretty fun to play - Balderdash is the only game we constantly come back to, every Christmas, without fail.
Good luck to them!

I have noticed that going old school like this at parties is way fun. Apples to Apples is pretty awesome at a party, I'm gonna give this game a shot.
