- Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid's Kickstarter campaign reached full funding in just thirty minutes
- While not setting the speed record, it finished only ten minutes behind the fastest-funded tabletop project
- Developed by Maestro Media, this adaptation brings the mobile strategy phenomenon to tabletop gaming
Talk about a successful launch! Within just thirty minutes of going live on Kickstarter, Maestro Media's tabletop adaptation of Supercell's legendary mobile strategy game Clash of Clans has not only met its funding target but is already surpassing stretch goals with a full month remaining in the campaign.
Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid is designed as a miniature-heavy tabletop experience that translates the digital RTS gameplay into physical form. The box includes detailed miniatures and a vibrant game board, enabling players to construct fortresses, train armies, and launch raids against friends' bases while defending their own territory.
While not the absolute fastest-funded tabletop project - that record still belongs to Exploding Kittens' 20-minute funding achievement - this near-record completion time demonstrates massive enthusiasm. The rapid success clearly validates Maestro Media's confidence in the enduring popularity of the Clash of Clans brand.
Expanding the Battlefield
This tabletop adaptation signals Clash of Clans' continued push into broader entertainment spheres. While already an established gaming phenomenon, much like successful franchises in other media, high-quality merchandise and cross-platform experiences can elevate a brand to new cultural prominence.
The overwhelming Kickstarter response suggests strong public interest, though the final verdict will come when the game reaches backers' tables. The tabletop community maintains high standards, so Maestro Media and their veteran design team must deliver exceptional quality to ensure The Epic Raid becomes a lasting success.
