A table dedicated to board games is

Like video game players, board game enthusiasts do not seem to be reluctant to invest in furniture dedicated to their leisure.
And the crowdfunding campaign for a board game table proves it.
Within days of the end of the campaign, the Wyrmwood Project has raised more than $ 8 million in funding thanks to 7,700 backers.
The basic objective, however, was to raise "only" a million dollars.
An amount that the project reached from its first day on Kickstarter.
In 24 hours, the modular table for board games has exceeded $ 4 million in funding.
A real success story that makes the “Wyrmwood Modular Gaming Table” one of the most funded Kickstarter projects on the platform.
But how to explain this craze?
No doubt the fact that Wyrmwood is far from being a new manufacturer in the sector of high quality gaming accessories and gaming tables.
The American company is indeed specialized in the manufacture of wooden objects of all kinds linked directly or indirectly to board games.
It thus offers dice and boxes to store them, towers, trays, but also modular tables designed for playing board games.
These wooden objects and furniture are of high quality and are especially made by hand and on demand.
This allows customers to personalize their dice and game tables. Obviously, all of this comes at a price.
Count $ 5,000 for the standard version of the first Wyrwood table for 6 to 8 people and $ 700 for the standard chairs associated with the table.
Buyers can add various options which obviously increases the bill.
A must for board game enthusiasts
The particularity of these pieces of furniture - apart from being made by hand - is that they have been designed to make the most of board games.
Thus, the table has a recess on which the players can place their board, cards, dice and pieces of all kinds.
If they wish to take a break from their game to eat, they can simply replace the "lid" of the table to set the plates and resume their game afterwards.
The chairs also have special storage.
And if the American manufacturer is used to financing its projects on Kickstarter - it has notably raised more than $ 1.5 million for a dice project, while the basic objective was only $ 10,000 - , its current campaign is meeting unimaginably successful.
Why ?
Beyond the quality and ingenuity of the product, the Wyrmwood Modular Gaming Table is above all accessible since it costs only $ 300.
A much more accessible amount than the base price of the Prophecy table.
The first deliveries are scheduled for November 2021 for the United States and for January 2022 for the rest of the world.
It will also be necessary to add the delivery costs to the amount of the table.
For the record, following the coronavirus pandemic, the company had to lay off a significant number of these employees, but thanks to the success of the Kickstarter campaign, Wyrmwood has indicated that it has rehired the majority of its former employees.
The manufacturer also said it plans to hire more staff to fill the large number of orders.
