Kicktraq.com was kind enough to pull this data from me for some research I was doing (thanks Adam!).  This represents all projects in the Tabletop Games category specifically up to May 22nd, 2015.

Tabletop projects by year
Year	Total	Funded	Unfunded	%funded	Amount	Backers	AvgPer
2009	6	4	2	66.66667	$9,878.00	303	$32.60
2010	33	18	15	54.54545	$148,315.00	2557	$58.00
2011	182	101	81	55.49451	$1,705,899.00	34774	$49.06
2012	847	418	429	49.35065	$15,109,703.00	205192	$73.64
2013	1783	939	844	52.66405	$51,191,612.00	564310	$90.72
2014	2204	1223	981	55.49002	$48,418,449.00	697287	$69.44
2015	1092	544	548	49.81685	$30,051,419.00	375909	$79.94

We’re not quite at the halfway mark of the year yet, but at $30 million funded so far it might be safe to predict $60 million funded by the time we sing Auld Lang Syne to 2015.

It looks like Tabletop growth is slowing in terms of both backer numbers and total funding. It’s still on track to have a 10% to 20% gain, but nothing as explosive as what was seen between 2011, 2012 and 2013 (1500% and 350% respectively), which is very similar to Kickstarter’s overal growth rate.

This may mean the platform is maturing, or possibly a drop off in the number of new quality projects in the Tabletop category. Projects also appear to be keeping up with changing backer expectations, the % of successfully funded projects is hovering around the 50% mark.  From the data, the slowdown of growth seems to be a supply rather than demand issue.

Thoughts or comments as always are welcome.
