New ‘Can’t Catch Harry’ Card Game from Odd 1s Out Surpasses Quarter Million Dollars as Campaign Enters Final Days on Kickstarter

The new 'Can't Catch Harry' Card Game created by American YouTube Cartoonist James Rallison (better known online as TheOdd1sOut for his animated videos) has raised more than $270,000 as the campaign enters its final days on Kickstarter.

"I want to thank all the people who've made the Can't Catch Harry Game a great success during crowdfunding," Rallison said. "I'm a big believer in family game night, and my biggest hope is that our backers on Kickstarter will enjoy playing this game with their family members and friends and share this important tradition with others, as well."

The game is based on one of TheOdd1sOut's more popular videos, Harry the Moth, which was developed from a real-life incident that happened to Rallison and his sister when they were children in Kindergarten. They caught a moth, which they named 'Harry,' and took their moth to school one day as part of a 'bring your pet to school day.' Unfortunately, during recess that day the moth escaped and was promptly eaten by a bird.

"I have always loved playing card and board games, so I decided to create my own game based off of one of the most scarring events of my childhood," he said.

The game, its name derived from Rallison's comedy bit on the moth's lowly reputation compared to a butterfly, works like this:

All players start with four cards and cards are drawn from the deck and passed from player to player until someone has four of a kind. At that point, the player tries to grab Harry the moth (one of the figurines). As other players see a competitor reach for a figurine everyone, regardless of current cards, reaches for a moth. Depending on what cards you have in your hand and what moth you can grab you receive or lose points. The expansion pack also features game play cards which change the environment that the game is played in, as well as what the players can do.

The game includes:

"Fans of The Odd 1s Out will like seeing one of our more popular episodes turned into a game, but it's really made for any family to enjoy," he said. "I created Can't Catch Harry to be the perfect game for anyone who simply enjoys playing board or card games with their friends or family."

Rallison spent months working alongside with his team to develop a brand-new game that he could share with everyone with hopes that the game will become a family favorite and find its place alongside other popular family games.

The game is available at early-bird discounts during the crowdfunding campaign. There are certain options for the game that will only be available during Kickstarter as well, such as holographic cards, golden figurines and custom cards are among some of the options that will only be available on Kickstarter.

Rallison's crowdfunding success also coincides with the recent announcement that TheOdd1sOut has been nominated for a Streamy Award, often referred to as the Streamys, which are presented annually by Dick Clark Productions and Tubefilter to recognize and honor excellence in online video, including directing, acting, producing, and writing.
