If these stats are correct (I didn't cross-check anything), 3 of the Top Ten were board/card games!
I never woulda guessed that. But "Woo-Diddly-Hoo!" for the gamin' community. We're a more massive movement than I realized. 😄
Exploding Kittens came in at #1! I wonder if the game had been Exploding Dogs, if it would have done as well. Do more people wanna blow-up cats, or dogs? 🤔 Maybe the designers even did some research on that, so they'd know which 'version' would sell the best. 😄 Personally, I'd rather blow-up a gangster thug-type person than an innocent critter. That's just how I roll. 🙂
I actually hadn't looked at this until today, but the Kickstarter Stats are somewhat interesting. If you click on Categories, you can see the break-down (with Games being one of them).
The stats also say that two of the most popular card games -Exploding Kittens and Bears vs Babies- are very stupid. Not gonna draw any conclusions... 😏
LOL! Well, as I'm sure you know, Athena, there'll never be a shortage of stupid people. I see 'em on the news all the time. 🙂
