What is this?
This is a weekly roundup of board game crowdfunding projects, featuring new launches from the past week and campaigns ending in the coming week. The information is sourced from Kickstarter, Gamefound, and Backerkit.
The list is curated through a combination of automated data collection and manual review, so occasional errors or omissions may occur. If you notice a missing project, feel free to mention it in the comments. Only projects meeting the selection criteria outlined below are included.
Other channels
Selection Criteria
Projects must meet the following conditions to be included:
- Timing: The project was either launched in the last week or will end in the coming week.
- Relevance: The project is directly related to board games.
- Excludes: Accessories not strongly related to board games, furniture, RPGs (e.g., D&D, Pathfinder), video games, STLs, painting tools, events, podcasts, and magazines.
- Exception: Projects offering promos or similar content for board games are eligible.
- Backers: The project is expected to reach at least 100 backers by the end of the campaign.
- Funding Status:
- The project is expected to reach at least 90% of its funding goal.
- The project has already achieved at least 20% of its funding goal.
In addition to the main lists, I include a separate section for noteworthy projects that don’t strictly qualify as board games. These projects are included based on a single criterion:
1. Backers: The project currently has more than 1,000 backers.
Crowdfunding is not a store
Crowdfunding is not a guarantee. Projects may face delays, incur additional shipping costs, or fail to deliver entirely. Creators are not obligated to fulfill their promises. While many excellent games are funded this way, the risks are real—only back projects with money you can afford to lose.
Be wary of creators who use FoMO (Fear of Missing Out) tactics to drive pledges. Don’t let the pressure get to you. If you miss a campaign, there will always be others. There’s no shortage of excellent board games to enjoy.
