Conan's placement on the chart means Flying Frog Productions' Shadows of Brimstone game has been bumped from #10, raising the bar $62,676 to $1.4 million to even crack the chart. Matt Forbeck's analysis of ICv2's first chart in 2013 has held true, the most successful tabletop campaigns capitalize on the economies of scale of plastic miniatures (see "Top Ten Tabletop Kickstarters: How They Do It"). However, a new contender is creeping up on silent paws, poised to blow the entire chart out of the water, but that record-breaking campaign still has eight days to go (see "Exploding Kittens").
