Ranked by amount raised in a single campaign; linked names have a full teardown. Cyberpunk TCG (April 2026) is the third most funded Kickstarter ever and the biggest tabletop campaign. Other large campaigns exist beyond this list. Outside Kickstarter, Star Citizen has raised over $1 billion through its own site, and Pebble raised about $43M across three campaigns.
What the biggest campaigns have in common
- An audience before launch. Sanderson, Critical Role and Frosthaven arrived with fans; Anker and Peak Design with past customers. Most creators build theirs with a pre-launch email list.
- A low goal, funded fast. Exploding Kittens asked for $10,000 and hit it in eight minutes; Kingdom Death asked for $100,000 and hit $1M in 19 minutes.
- A reason to back on day one: early-bird pricing, exclusives or limited tiers.
- Milestones as press. “Fastest to $1M” and “most funded ever” headlines brought new backers mid-campaign.
- Delivery decides the reputation. Coolest Cooler and Ouya raised millions and still failed afterwards.
