A new era of tabletop storytelling begins. Every Mantic crowdfunding campaign—now and through 2026—will live on Kickstarter.
We’ve got big news for tabletop fans: Kickstarter is officially the exclusive crowdfunding home for Mantic Games through the end of 2026.
Known for award-winning adaptations like Worms: The Board Game, Hellboy: The Board Game, and The Walking Dead: All Out War, the UK-based studio has launched nearly 30 Kickstarter projects to date, earning the trust of tens of thousands of gamers and backers around the world. Today, that partnership levels up.
“Kickstarter has played a huge role in bringing our visions to life and connecting us with fans all over the world,” says Ronnie Renton, Mantic’s founder and CEO. “This partnership allows us to focus on what we do best—creating incredible games—while using a platform that shares our passion for community and creativity.”
From sci-fi sports showdowns to legendary assassins carving their way through history, the next wave of Mantic campaigns is already on the horizon—and they’re shaping up to be some of the studio’s biggest projects yet.
Here’s what’s coming soon:
🗡️ Assassin’s Creed®: Animus – The Board Game
