Steamforged Games' Dark Souls- The Board Game, based on the popular action roleplaying video game, has infiltrated ICv2’s Top 10 Tabletop Kickstarter chart. Dark Souls netted more than $5.4 million in pledges and claimed the #2 spot on the chart (see “'Dark Souls: The Board Game'”).
The board game knocks CoolMiniOrNot’s Zombicide: Season 2 off the list, and raised the bar another $104,242 to a baseline of more than $2.3 million to even crack the Top Ten list.
The chart was last updated in March, when Cyanide and Happiness’s Joking Hazard card game entered the chart at #5 (see “Top 10 Tabletop Game Kickstarters”). CoolMiniOrNot has another game which may land on the chart next month, if its promising initial pledge numbers remain constant (see “'Massive Darkness' From CMON”).
