I've spent many delightful hours playing Zack's games and look forward to trying out this one.

Great to see they've hit their target but I've been burned so many times on Kickstarter, I just walk away.

Apparently it got second chanced, so I'll take a stab at adding some context here in the comments:

Zach of Zachtronics (Spacechem, Inifinifactory, Opus Magnum) has a new passion project - A set of Scratcher games. Like a combination of a choose your own adventure book with those lottery tickets - But with meaningful choices and puzzles to solve!

I used to crush Scratchees as a kid. I never knew they were made by Decipher (which IMO were more famous for their How to Host a Murder games than anything else). I'll definitely check these out.
