Weekly Kickstarter Game Projects
02 May
Posted by Yehuda Berlinger as Card Games, Miniatures, Modern Board Games, Other, RPGs
This week we also added all of the previous entries, as well as their previous contribution levels. These figures may be helpful for those projects that we mentioned last week; each week they indicate how much was raised in the previous week. For older projects, the numbers don’t mean very much this week, since they might represent a month or more worth of contributions.
Projects that were funded, or failed to fund, were removed from the list. Yeah, we should probably start adding those, too. I wish Kickstarter would give us a decent API or widget to do this automatically, but they’re dragging their feet.
In other news, GameSalute has started a Kickstarter-like initiative for board games only called Springboard. If it grows, we’ll start adding their projects to these lists.
