The board game Don’t Starve has been a resounding success on Kickstarter, raising nearly $4 million and far exceeding its initial goal of $50,000. This impressive funding comes from the support of a dedicated community, which since its original release in 2013 has turned Don’t Starve into one of the leading survival titles, with a strong cult following backing this tabletop adaptation.
Suffering Because of Their Success
Developed by Glass Cannon Unplugged, this cooperative game is designed for 1 to 4 players and offers an experience in a world where magic and science intertwine in unexpected ways. The game’s release date has been set for March 2027, generating great anticipation among fans.
In a recent update, the Glass Cannon team announced new funding goals that are available for sponsors. These include wormhole tokens, starting cards, and regeneration marker miniatures, which will add more variety and strategy to the game. The wormhole tokens, in particular, will allow players to move quickly across the map, while the miniatures will enhance the visual experience.
With only three days left in the Kickstarter campaign, an acrylic standee of Wurt and a digital skin have been unlocked if the total reaches $4.1 million before its close. Given the current funding levels, it is very likely that these additional goals will be met, further encouraging sponsor participation.
This effort to adapt Don’t Starve to the world of board games seems to be well received and promises to offer players a new way to explore its survival themes in a cooperative environment.
