That campaign was the first big hit for CMON and, from what I can tell, it set them up for much of their future success. Looking through the data, the first Zombicide game is an outlier since the first day funding was so low relative to final funding. So I went to and, for 16 CMON campaigns, I collected the funding total from the first day of the campaign, the final funding of the campaign, and the month and year the campaign Hypothesis

Since this isn’t CMON’s first massively hyped Kickstarter, this got me wondering if that was because CMON wanted to get an idea for where the funding would end up for the Rising Sun campaign. One of the interesting features of this campaign was that CMON didn’t release stretch goals until after the campaign and the later ones were only revealed as the previous funding targets were reached. With a final funding of $4,227,859, the Rising Sun campaign ended its funding period as the most funded CMON Kickstarter to date.

Daily funding results from Rising Sun Kickstarter It turns out that 12,960 people, like me, backed Rising Sun on the first day of the campaign totaling $1,280,131 (the initial goal was $300,000) in funding. I, and many others, were eagerly awaiting the start of the Rising Sun campaign and I backed the campaign as quickly as I could. Starting with Zombicide in 2012, CMON has been a part of some of the biggest board game Kickstarters including the recently finished Rising Sun. One of the bigger players in the board game Kickstarter world is CMON Limited, formerly known as CoolMiniOrNot.
