Polygon reached to Childres on Wednesday, a few hours after he reached his $500,000 goal, to find out how he was holding up. A little over 24 hours after it began it’s now up over $5.3 million. Meanwhile, the crowdfunding campaign for Frosthaven continues its meteoric climb. That’s enough to keep most tabletop groups meeting once a month busy for a full year. Nevertheless, Childres estimates there’s something in the neighborhood of 30-40 hours of content in the box. Players won’t necessarily be able to play them all in a single campaign, due to the branching nature of the narrative.

He says it’s the result of big box retailers, especially Target stores, wanting in on some of the action that Amazon has been enjoying since Gloomhaven was finally able to ramp up production in 2018.
