The board gaming hobby relies heavily on crowdfunding to bring new projects to life. Here you will read and hear about upcoming projects, add them to your want list, and follow up on what our experts think about your investment opportunities in the board game space.
What is crowdfunding?
The board gaming hobby relies heavily on crowdfunding to bring new projects to life. A crowdfunded project is funded (backed) by investors in exchange for development of the project and usually some pretty sweet perks, too. You can learn more about how crowdfunding works and how to get involved on our resource page here.
Join Anthony, Frances, Branden (All Aboard Gamer), Allie (The Family Meeple), Carlos (Beans & Dice), and Gary as they discuss some of this week’s crowdfunding board game projects.
