The independent card game Exploding Kittens annihilated many Kickstarter records last week (see "$8.8 Million Card Game Kickstarter Biggest Ever"), necessitating revisions to ICv2’s Top Ten Tabletop Game Kickstarter chart only a week after the last update (see "Top 10 Tabletop Game Kickstarters").

The combustible kitty card game’s $8.8 million campaign bumps the $1.4 million Cthulhu Wars board game off the bottom of the list.  This raises the bar another $38,331 to over $1.44 million to crack the chart.  The only current tabletop game Kickstarter campaign that has potential to muster that much backing is Cryptozoic’s Ghostbusters: The Board Game (see "'Ghostbusters: The Board Game'"), which is currently trending towards $1.5 million, according to pledge tracking website kicktraq.com.
