A second printing of a board game has made the Top 10 Tabletop Game Kickstarter chart, as Gloomhaven funded on Monday, raising $3,999,795 from 40,642 backers ($98.42/backer).  The second printing was put onto Kickstarter after the first printing of 10,000 sold out almost immediately (see "'Gloomhaven' Returns").  A late surge in backers pushed Gloomhaven to #6, an impressive showing for a reprint.  It’s due to ship in August, a very short turnaround for a game Kickstarter.

The last game to make the Top 10 chart was funded less than a month ago; CMON’s Rising Sun, by Eric M. Lang, hit the chart at #4 on April 4 after raising $4.2 million (see "'Rising Sun' Illuminates Top 10 Tabletop Kickstarter Chart").
