Gamefound, a crowdfunding website that emerged from beta in 2022, has officially proven itself as a formidable competitor to Kickstarter in the world of tabletop game crowdfunding. The Polish company has recently achieved a major milestone with its imprint, Awaken Realms, as its campaign for “Nemesis: Retaliation” has become the third most-funded tabletop game of all time.
The “Nemesis” series, which began with the original game in 2018, has gained widespread acclaim for its unique combination of co-operative gameplay, traitor mechanics, dungeon-crawling elements, and high-quality miniatures. The series has captured the attention of hobby board gamers and has now achieved a significant financial milestone with “Nemesis: Retaliation” closing its campaign with nearly $12.2 million in earnings. Delivery of the game is expected by April 2025.
“Nemesis: Retaliation” now sits behind only “Frosthaven” and “Kingdom Death: Monster 1.5” as the third most-funded tabletop crowdfunding campaign of all time. With just a few weeks left in 2023, it is on track to become the biggest crowdfunding success of the year across all platforms.
Gamefound’s success has solidified its position as a major player in the world of tabletop game crowdfunding, with high-profile campaigns by companies such as CMON, Everything Epic, and Chip Theory Games further establishing its reputation. As the company continues to attract top-tier campaigns and achieve record-breaking funding goals, it is set to make a lasting impact on the crowdfunding landscape.
