Fans of Jose “Chille” DeCastro received a mid-evening treat as the YouTuber went live to talk about unrest in America Saturday Night and to announce that he was hoping to make a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the first print run of his Constitutional HQ board game.
After an hour of DeCastro showcasing anti-police video and calling for the end of ICE activity in America as he would rather have people he described as “dirty illegals” stay in America rather than be subjected to the tyranny of ICE, DeCastro provided a surprise update to the status of his board game.
DeCastro announced that he was in the process of filing a “process patent” for the game and could not show how his game worked until such a time as the patent was in place. He stated that this was the reason why he did not start his promised teaching sessions for the game, as his work must be protected by the patent before going public.
As part of the process, DeCastro stated that he would be immediately granted a “utility patent” upon filing for the process patent. The utility patent, according to a Google search, would protect his game and provide him with the exclusive right to make, use, sell and import the game for up to 20 years from the application filing date.
It is unclear what hurdles DeCastro would face in the process patent process as he’s described the game as being “inspired” by the Trivial Pursuit board game, which is owned and produced by Hasbro.
DeCastro held up a stack of oversized playing cards during the livestream and said that the stack was just one part of the cards needed to play his game. He also said that he had designed a board to play the game on, but the game also retained previously announced aspects where it could be played on a wall.
Users on our ReallyCoolNewsWire Discord forum expressed concern that the playing cards did not seem to be of traditional sizes for trading card games. This would make it difficult to find protective sleeves for the cards. With over 500 cards to play the game, their protection through the use of plastic sleeves may prove invaluable in maintaining the ability to play the game.
The stack of cards, again, described by DeCastro as being “part” of the overall number of cards required to play the game, measured an estimated seven inches tall. Their size and weight also drew concerns and could prove problematic in the size of the packaging and costs of shipping of the game.
DeCastro received criticism from those who note that he says he has devoted the last year of his life to the game, but he has not shown a viable plan forward to bring the game to the market.
He recently announced another delay in the production of the game and a price increase for pre-sales of the game. The announcement that he was increasing the price from $49.99 to $89.99 and shipping from $12.00 a game to $22.00 a game, was done without sharing his reasoning for the change in price or if he would honor his “several dozen presales” at the lower price point.
DeCastro has indicated that he would be charged $150,000.00 by the print shop that printed his prototype cards for a first run of 10,000 units of the cards. He recently asserted that he had meetings to secure financing for the game but made no mention of financing Saturday night other than he was “looking into” Kickstarter.
The DeleteLawZ.com website states that the game would be released in September of 2025, though it is uncertain whether or not DeCastro can keep this promise without first finding financing for his product. The counter for presales on the current page for the product has been stuck at 9999 since the price change was made last week.
Turning to crowdfunding on Kickstarter might also prove problematic for the YouTuber based on his recent GoFundMe activity. DeCastro has been unable to secure the $5,000.00 he says he needs to fund his investment in a one-year subscription to “Westlaw A.I.” as part of his plan to sue a Nevada Justice of the Peace who imprisoned him last year and the Judge who acquitted him of that conviction.
DeCastro’s campaign was stagnant for a second straight day on Saturday, earning no new donations. The crowd sourcing title went to Lane Myers with a $120.00 take, with second place going to Clash with Bao, who took in $10.00 in donations for the day.
The YouTuber is expected to livestream again on Sunday.
