Top 5 Board Games Kickstarters of 2019

If you like the idea of board games and want to see them in action, look no further than Kickstarter. The new craze for crowdfunding has given rise to some incredible projects. Here are five of the most popular from this year’s campaigns. The first is Whale Riders, a game in which players are explorers who must build a palatial oceanic city. The art style is cartoonish and the campaign itself has a fantastic premise.

Slay the Spire: The Board Game is the hottest Kickstarter of 2019, and it’s slated to come out in Spring of this year. The first game, Massive Darkness, was a streamlined action-focused dungeon bash that featured classic fantasy RPG elements, modular dungeon tiles, and a wide range of miniatures. The second edition builds on the original, offering fantasy classes that you’ll be familiar with. This Kickstarter campaign will feature more content from the first game, and it promises to be a larger dungeon crawl.

Slay the Spire: The Board Game is another hot Kickstarter for the coming year. This game is being developed by a team of veteran board game developers, including Gloomhaven’s Isaac Childres, and Pandemic: Legacy’s Rob Daviau. The project promises to bring classic fantasy RPG elements to the tabletop. The Kickstarter campaign for the game will run from May to June, with a release in August.
