Polish miniatures studio Awaken Realms raised $4,277,983 from more than 30,000 backers for the semi-cooperative sci-fi horror game. Currently there are no plans for trade release. Awaken Realms previously partnered with Polish publisher Galakta Games on a board game version of the video game This War of Mine in 2016 which was released here last year (see “Ares to Distribute Galakta Games”). Nemesis has landed at #6 on the chart, displacing Reaper Miniatures’ Dark Heaven: Bones collection, which was at the top of list when ICv2 began keeping track back in 2013 (see “Top Ten Tabletop Game Kickstarters”), and raises the bar by $131,407 to more than $3.5 million to qualify.
