I expect a larger, less limited run for a higher price later on if this test run sells well. If this is a loss leader, it's also a marketing gambit.

They have 30k members that collectively pay them $100k per month over patreon. Plus the large number of folks like me who listen on bootleg feeds and their public feed. I think that's enough people that they can sell out a limited run of a board game.
They're making money on it, so that's reason enough for them.
Presumably, the few people that buy it will open and use it.
Way out of my price range for shit like this (not to mention the 4 player minimum), but I did have a great time reading the description and the text in the product images.
The fact that it goes on sale Jan 6 2024 is funny also.
I don't think my parents or even my sibling would think this is funny, but my friends definitely would.
Only if the mouse is a steamboat operator as his side hustle.
I have a yearlong membership to a music learning program and I will practice [the instrument I play] every day. Even if it's only 5 minutes I will not go a day without touching it unless I'm traveling.
Also I have to exercise more, I'm at the age where I can't afford not to be fit. 2x a week minimum but 4x would be ideal.
And yet, there is a reason AB sponsors their local team and named its stadium.
Invite a friend over and do it together?
Might sell decently in the UK as well 😆
