Monolith Board Games’ Conan is the most funded non-video game on Kickstarter for at least the next eight days. With $3,327,757 pledged, the miniature-based game is currently $2.6 million short of Exploding Kittens, from Matthew Inman (The Oatmeal), Elan Lee, and Shane Small, which will become the most funded game in Kickstarter’s Game category on Thursday, Feburary 19, 2015.

The Kickstarter campaign for Conan reached its initial funding goal in five minutes and thirty-seven seconds, with the game overfunding by 4,159%. Jamie Johnson of Monolith Board Games LLC, thanks the backers of the project: “When we set out to make Conan, it was to give life to a saga that we all loved, to make a game that would remind us of just what it meant to be a gamer and a lover of high adventure….As for what lies ahead for Monolith, well, you guys have blown our expectations out of the water. All bets are now off as they say but one thing is sure, you have given us the means, the encouragement and the determination to take this ball and run with it.”
