I don't know if you're wrong or not in assuming there will be a single-player AI.  But these two things give me pause:

1)  Stretch Goal:  "Single Player Scenarios will place you in the game at a set point with specific cards in your hand, and you will need to finish the game from this starting point. It will test your strategy and skill level as a player."

2)  The focus in the higher tiers of giving away (timespan) of "free online tournament entries (up to 10 entries per month)".

I could be completely wrong.  There could well be an AI for the full campaign in single player.  But something about that combination strikes me as odd, so I have not invested in this Kickstarter.

A qa session with the developer, seems to mention ai quite a bit...not sure in which way it will be implemented, but they seem to be committed.

AFAIK, there will be an AI for the full game.

The scenario stretch goals are just set-piece starts based on a historical situation.  They're just extras.

104 minutes left to go......$16,000 left to the final stretch goal of $400,000....time to get your credit card out:)

Personally, not a big deal since not interested in what is being made available at the final tier:)

Well, it's over...didn't make the final $400k stretch goal but pretty impressive it ended with $391k when they only asked for $50k to start.

I'm just glad it reached the base goal.  I didn't back it, but I'll buy it when it's near completion.

The devs sent out an adorable thank-you letter where they talk about having completed the "Funding Phase" and are now in the "Gratitude Phase" before going into the "Fulfillment Phase".  :)

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
