Tabletop Games are all the rage on Kickstarter right now. They are frequently featured in CrowdCrux lists of rapidly funded projects (like this one!). These games have become even more exciting and common on the platform since 3D-printing has made it easier for just about anyone to make their own professional looking miniatures. Many creators of Tabletop Games that are successful on Kickstarter return to the platform to launch more games, and enjoy the engaged community of backers who love them.
I've done a kickstarter for a tabletop game, and plan to do it again. I'll try and use this info to help get more backers next time. Thanks for posting this.
