Tabletop Analytics

Tabletop Analytics is a data-driven analytics platform for tabletop crowdfunding projects, designed to help creators plan, launch, and evaluate crowdfunding campaigns using real market data instead of assumptions.

It brings together crowdfunding information from multiple major platforms into a single analytical environment, allowing creators to understand how tabletop crowdfunding actually behaves as a market and to make informed business decisions throughout the lifecycle of a project.

Tabletop Analytics collects crowdfunding data from Kickstarter, Gamefound, and BackerKit, treating all three strictly as crowdfunding platforms for tabletop projects.

By combining data from multiple platforms in one place, the platform allows creators to compare campaigns without being limited to a single ecosystem. This helps creators see the broader tabletop crowdfunding landscape and understand how different types of games perform across platforms.

Tabletop Analytics exists to help tabletop game creators make better crowdfunding decisions before those decisions become expensive to fix.

Crowdfunding is not only a creative process. It is a business process. Choices about funding goals, pricing, campaign duration, platform selection, and promotion timing directly affect whether a project is sustainable, breaks even, or creates long-term problems for the creator. Most creators are required to make these choices with limited information, often relying on a small number of visible campaigns, personal intuition, or advice that may no longer reflect current market conditions.

The purpose of Tabletop Analytics is to replace assumption-based planning with context.

Tabletop Analytics helps you gain an understanding of what is common, what is rare, and what is risky within tabletop crowdfunding. This includes seeing how similar projects are structured, how often certain funding targets are reached, and how campaigns typically progress over time. We have a very powerful comparison tool, which when used correctly it can give you crucial information.

Using Tabletop Analytics helps creators avoid planning around extreme success stories, misreading short-term campaign performance, or setting expectations that are disconnected from market reality.

For first-time creators, this often means avoiding preventable mistakes. For experienced creators, it supports refinement, comparison, and long-term strategy rather than repeating the same approach campaign after campaign.

The platform's purpose is to give creators enough market awareness to make informed decisions, understand trade-offs, and plan crowdfunding campaigns with clearer expectations and lower risk.

Creators typically use Tabletop Analytics throughout the life of a project.

• Before launch, you can review similar campaigns to understand realistic funding ranges, common campaign lengths, and typical pledge structures. This helps set expectations and avoid planning based on outliers.
• During a live campaign, you can observe how funding and backer numbers develop over time. Seeing daily progress in context helps you decide when to share updates, push promotions, or adjust communication, rather than reacting to short-term changes.
• After a campaign ends, use the platform to review performance and compare results with similar projects. These insights can be used to improve your late-pledging strategy, future campaigns, expansions, or reprints.

Predictions Royale is a gamified feature within Tabletop Analytics that allows users to predict the final funding amount and backer count of live tabletop crowdfunding campaigns. Predictions are scored based on accuracy and displayed on a public leaderboard.

Creators running active campaigns may feature their project in Predictions Royale and run a prediction contest by offering a reward, commonly a free copy of the game, to one or more top-scoring participants after the campaign concludes.

This feature helps increase visibility among users who actively follow crowdfunding performance and trends, with engagement driven by participation rather than advertising.
