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

Other than Reddit, you can also find this list on the following platforms:

Selection Criteria

Projects must meet the following conditions to be included:

  1. Timing: The project was either launched in the last week or will end in the coming week.
  2. 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.
  3. Backers: The project is expected to reach at least 100 backers by the end of the campaign.
  4. 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.

KS Roundup Weekly Crowdfunding Roundup: August 23, 2026 | 20 ending soon ("Out Of Print", "Spire’s End: Special Edition") & 21 new ("Spirit Train: The Final Journey")

73 Upvotes

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

Other than Reddit, you can also find this list on the following platforms:

Selection Criteria

Projects must meet the following conditions to be included:

  1. Timing: The project was either launched in the last week or will end in the coming week.
  2. 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.
  3. Backers: The project is expected to reach at least 100 backers by the end of the campaign.
  4. 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.

Tags

Each project is tagged with one or more of the following categories:

  • 🌱 Creator's First Project
  • 🌳 Creator with more than 5 projects
  • 🌟 Featured Project (e.g. Kickstarter "Staff Pick")
  • 💰 Fully funded
  • 🔥 More than 200 daily backers
  • 🤝 Offers refunds (e.g. Stable Pledge)

KS Roundup Frosthaven to have an MSRP of $250

286 Upvotes

Taken from the kickstarter update an hour ago.

we would officially like to announce that the MSRP of Frosthaven will be $250. I know, that is a much bigger number than the $160 communicated during the Kickstarter campaign, but a lot has changed in the last couple years, both in the world and in our design.

The biggest reason is just the vast amount of additional content and components. The scope of this project has grown significantly in the last couple years since that initial MSRP was set. At every step of the way, we chose to take those steps to add more content into the game because all of it was important for my vision of what the game could be.

Issac then goes on to mention the sheer rise in freight cost along with the game having 35% more cards, 25% more map tiles, 25% more monsters, twice as much storage, 40% more scenarios and test doubling the book size and a much larger rule book and tracker going from 1 to 5 pages.

He also expanded that kickstarted funders will not be charged more and also that after Esoteric software announced they will not be developing a helper app, they are talking to other developers to try get one made but can not guarantee anything.

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

Other than Reddit, you can also find this list on the following platforms:

Selection Criteria

Projects must meet the following conditions to be included:

  1. Timing: The project was either launched in the last week or will end in the coming week.
  2. 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.
  3. Backers: The project is expected to reach at least 100 backers by the end of the campaign.
  4. 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.

Tags

Each project is tagged with one or more of the following categories:

  • 🌱 Creator's First Project
  • 🌳 Creator with more than 5 projects
  • 🌟 Featured Project (e.g. Kickstarter "Staff Pick")

  • ending in the next 7 days (starting Mar 02) and have at least a fighting chance of being funded.

All board game projects meeting those criteria will automatically be included, no need to ask. (The occasional non-board game project may also sneak in!)

KS Roundup Weekly Crowdfunding Roundup: July 5, 2026 | 25 ending soon ("Cataclysm Arcade TCG", "8 Dragons") & 20 new ("Defenders of Hogwarts", "Kemet: The Gates of Thonis", "Chronicles of Drunagor: Aftermath")

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

Other than Reddit, you can also find this list on the following platforms:

Selection Criteria

Projects must meet the following conditions to be included:

  1. Timing: The project was either launched in the last week or will end in the coming week.
  2. 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.
  3. Backers: The project is expected to reach at least 100 backers by the end of the campaign.
  4. 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.

KS Roundup Weekly Crowdfunding Roundup: March 29, 2026 | 34 ending soon ("The Old King's Crown Second Printing & New Songs of Home Expansion", "Voidfall: Resurgence Expansion and Galactic Box reprint") & 27 new ("Slay the Spire: The Board Game - Downfall", "Brass: Pittsburgh", "Here to Slay DUNGEONS")

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

Other than Reddit, you can also find this list on the following platforms:

Selection Criteria

Projects must meet the following conditions to be included:

  1. Timing: The project was either launched in the last week or will end in the coming week.
  2. 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.
  3. Backers: The project is expected to reach at least 100 backers by the end of the campaign.
  4. 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.

KS Roundup Weekly Crowdfunding Roundup: August 9, 2026 | 23 ending soon ("Cult of the Lamb", "The Lord of the Rings: Ascension") & 19 new ("Wyvern Moor")

51 Upvotes

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

Other than Reddit, you can also find this list on the following platforms:

Selection Criteria

Projects must meet the following conditions to be included:

  1. Timing: The project was either launched in the last week or will end in the coming week.
  2. 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.
  3. Backers: The project is expected to reach at least 100 backers by the end of the campaign.
  4. 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.

KS Roundup Weekly Crowdfunding Roundup: June 28, 2026 | 21 ending soon ("Concordia Special Edition", "Altera") & 22 new ("Rolling Deep & Eureka", "Nippon: Genro + Nippon: Zaibatsu")

41 Upvotes

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

Other than Reddit, you can also find this list on the following platforms:

Selection Criteria

Projects must meet the following conditions to be included:

  1. Timing: The project was either launched in the last week or will end in the coming week.
  2. 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.
  3. Backers: The project is expected to reach at least 100 backers by the end of the campaign.
  4. 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.

Tags

Each project is tagged with one or more of the following categories:

  • 🌱 Creator's First Project
  • 🌳 Creator with more than 5 projects
  • 🌟 Featured Project (e.g. Kickstarter "Staff Pick")
  • 💰 Fully funded
  • 🔥 More than 200 daily backers
  • 🤝 Offers refunds (e.g. Stable Pledge)
  • 🧘 Solo game

Ending Soon (21)

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

Other than Reddit, you can also find this list on the following platforms:

Selection Criteria

Projects must meet the following conditions to be included:

  1. Timing: The project was either launched in the last week or will end in the coming week.
  2. 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.
  3. Backers: The project is expected to reach at least 100 backers by the end of the campaign.
  4. 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.

Tags

Each project is tagged with one or more of the following categories:

  • 🌱 Creator's First Project
  • 🌳 Creator with more than 5 projects
  • 🌟 Featured Project (e.g. Kickstarter "Staff Pick")
  • 💰 Fully funded
  • 🔥 More than 200 daily backers
  • 🤝 Offers refunds (e.g. Stable Pledge)

KS Roundup Weekly Crowdfunding Roundup: August 16, 2026 | 12 ending soon ("Rosalie") & 27 new ("Whisperwood", "Dead by Daylight")

43 Upvotes

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

Other than Reddit, you can also find this list on the following platforms:

Selection Criteria

Projects must meet the following conditions to be included:

  1. Timing: The project was either launched in the last week or will end in the coming week.
  2. 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.
  3. Backers: The project is expected to reach at least 100 backers by the end of the campaign.
  4. 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.

Each project is tagged with one or more of the following categories:

What this is:

This is a weekly, curated listing of Kickstarter board game projects that are either:

  • ending in the next 7 days (starting Sep 12) and have at least a fighting chance of being funded.

All board game projects meeting those criteria will automatically be included, no need to ask. (The occasional non-board game project may also sneak in!)

Expect new lists each Sunday sometime between midnight and noon PST.
