This edition of the Kickstarter Roundup is a two week update. Last week David and I were in NYC for the Toy Fair.

This weeks roundup has some interesting updates. Fourteen projects ended since the last update, with five failing to reach their funding goal. Kickstarter tells us that only 46% of projects successfully fund. This past week the rate was 65% for the board game category.

There are currently 52 active projects this week, with 26 of them having been added in the past two weeks. The most distant on the horizon is Cartoona from Robert Burke. A fun little game of whimsical art and play. The most spectacular debut is Gunship: First Strike which made it to the list for the first time this week and is already at $40,000+ in funding.

In full disclosure, one project, Funding the Dream, is my own personal Kickstarter campaign for my podcast which covers Kickstarter topics in relation to the game industry.
