Help me Improve my Culinary Card Game for Kickstarter

I'd like to request your help in improving my Culinary-themed card game, that I would like to try funding on Kickstarter.

CookingPartyCardsContents_small.jpg

Here's a link to the current DRAFT rule book: https://www.donation...gparty/Rulebook3.pdf

Here's where the game currently stands:
  • I have a draft of the basic rulebook.
  • I have a complete set of about 150 draft prototype cards.
  • I have playtested the game with a few friend and family, and it's gone over great -- my 8yr old niece who likes cooking shows loved it.

And here's what I know I need help with:
  • Coming up with a better name.
  • Adding additional variants of gameplay.
  • Adding a main gameplay mode that does not depend on subjective culinary judgement.  That is, I want to add an alternative, more traditional card game that can be played with the cards, for people who may not love the idea of a subjective social party game.
  • Coming up with kickstarter goals, "perks" etc.
  • Finding an enthusiastic partner who likes the game and wants to handle the kickstarter parts like making a high quality kickstarter video, etc. and handling all of the work involved in the kickstarter and "markering" aspects.
  • Playtesting.
  • Writing an ingredient guide and glossary (basically some info+trivia about each ingredient and general culinary tips).

I would really love some help from the gang here.. It's a simple game idea, nothing ground breaking, but I still think it's a fun idea and I'd love your help in exploring the possibility of using kickstarter for a fun little project.
