CoolMiniOrNot’s latest zombie miniatures game, Zombicide: Black Plague, has clawed its way up the #2 spot on ICv2’s Top 10 Tabletop Game Kickstarters chart. The new medieval fantasy incarnation of the zombie survival game series scrambled over its brethren (Season 2 and Season 3), as well as besting the Reaper Miniatures Dark Heaven: Bones miniatures line. Only the Exploding Kittens card game managed to survive its onslaught.

The campaign gathered a total of $4,078,954 from 20,913 backers ($195.04/backer average) for the standalone cooperative board game, its expansion, and add-ons (see “Zombicide: Black Plague' Cracks Top 10 Kickstarters”).

The new zombie game drags Dwarven Forge’s 2013  Game Tiles terrain set campaign off the chart (see “'Game Tiles' Kickstarter Tops $1.9 Million”), and raises the bar by $141,566, to  nearly $2.05 million to crack the Top 10 (see “Top 10 Tabletop Game Kickstarters”).
