In 2011 board games raised $2 million on Kickstarter. 2012 is building up fast with $1.5 million already and some monster games on the way. Look out here comes Zpocalypse, already over the $120k mark and Ogre from Steve Jackson Games setting the new record for a Kickstarter board game at $187k and still three more weeks to go.

At the beginning of the year I predicted that the top 10 all-time board game projects would all be above $100k by the end of 2012. At the rate we are going, it is only going to take six months.

Ogre is going to hit the $250k by they are done. Things are getting exciting.
