Thunderbirds are literally GO, as the new co-op board game from Pandemic creator Matt Leacock has soared past its £20,000 target just an hour after hitting Kickstarter.
Unsurprisingly the game has more than a touch of the Pandemics about it, with players each controlling one of the Tracy brothers and flying across the globe – and into space – in the various vehicles to avert disasters and defeat the mysterious Hood.
There’s still plenty of time to get in on the Kickstarter of course – £40 gets you the base game and any of the stretch goals which get unlocked (at this rate all the backers will probably end up getting flown into space on Thunderbird 3).
Thunderbirds is breaking Kickstarter ground in more ways than just zooming past its target, though. Leacock has decided to include a Google Doc of the rules so people can check them out as they are edited in the final few weeks of production. You can check out the spreadsheet here.
