Awaken Realms entered the chart with their semi-cooperative sci-fi horror game Nemesis last year (see “'Nemesis' Breaks into Top 10 Tabletop Kickstarter Chart”). Tainted Grail transcends that fundraiser, grossing approximately $6,321,262.39 (£4,940,030) ($150.73/backer average) to land at #4 on the chart, raising the bar by $79,159 to more than $4 million, and booting the popular Gloomhaven.
Tainted Grail is a survival coop board game set in a gritty altered version of Arthurian folklore where players adventure through campaigns darkly reimagining the well-known tales of Camelot. The campaign also funded a companion app, a digital version, and several expansions. As with Nemesis, there was no plans for trade release.
