Spring 2026 is shaping up to be a remarkable window in board game crowdfunding. Across Kickstarter and Gamefound, seven major tabletop campaigns are running simultaneously with a combined total exceeding $38 million in pledges.
Leading the pack is The Official Cyberpunk Trading Card Game at over $17 million with more than 25,000 backers. Based on CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk universe, it is a competitive two-player card game that has already claimed the title of most-funded tabletop project in Kickstarter history, overtaking the Cosmere RPG's $15.1 million. Slay the Spire: Downfall, a cooperative expansion based on the beloved community mod that lets players control the bosses from the deck-building video game, has surged past $6 million with over 30,000 backers as it enters its final hours before closing this week.
Brass: Pittsburgh, a standalone sequel to the BGG Top 3-ranked economic strategy game Brass: Birmingham, sits at $5.2 million on Gamefound. Here to Slay Dungeons has topped $4.1 million as Unstable Games takes its popular card game series into cooperative dungeon-crawling territory for the first time.
Rounding out the million-dollar club are Heliana and Ryoko's Guide to Mythozoology, a D&D supplement, at $2.7 million; Cole Wehrle's Arcs: Beyond the Reach, three expansions for his acclaimed space strategy game, at $1.3 million; and Company of Heroes: Desert Warfare at $1.1 million on Gamefound.
Several of these campaigns close this week. Slay the Spire: Downfall wraps up around April 9, and Brass: Pittsburgh closes April 12. Once these games start shipping later this year, you will want a group ready. Find a game night near you.
