Glass Cannon Unplugged, the developers behind Dying Light: The Board Game are blown away after the Kickstarter campaign surpassed the $1 million mark. This is after they reached their initial funding goal of €50,000 (about $54,000) within just 30 minutes of the campaign’s launch.
With the campaign still in progress, Dying Light: The Board Game has amassed over 6,200 backers. An impressive 28 stretch goals and exclusive items have been unlocked throughout the campaign.
While a variety of pledge bundles and expansions were available from the outset, Glass Cannon Unplugged is trying to enhance the experience for supporters with additional offerings. They’ve introduced Gamer’s Pledges and a new Collector Pledge option as of March 15th. The Collector Pledge is the highest tier for the most dedicated fans, and it includes all currently unlocked goodies, stretch goals, and the Windmill, Underground, Night Hunter, and Pilgrim’s Path expansions.
Another significant addition is the Kickstarter-exclusive dice tower add-on. The piece is created by two renowned digital sculptors and adds a touch of artistry to the gameplay experience. Supporters can purchase the dice tower separately or add it as part of the Collector Pledge.
With an end date of March 20 at 11 PM CT / 6 PM EDT, those interested in backing this project now have a final window to claim the Kickstarter-exclusive perks and be part of the game’s development journey.
About Dying Light: The Board Game
Designed by Przemysław Zub and Bartosz Tomala, Dying Light: The Board Game is a cooperative narrative adventure game designed for 1-4 players. Set in the last city on Earth, Villedor, players must survive encounters with the zombie-like Infected as they balance the demands of the various ruling factions. Dying Light: The Board Game provides an intuitive and easy-to-learn ruleset that can adapt to dynamic playstyles and narratives. It features an original, adrenaline-fueled parkour and combat system that makes full use of an expansive city map and an impactful day and night cycle.

- Engaging Parkour and Combat — Assume the role of a Runner and use Action Dice to elevate simple actions like running, climbing, jumping, and fighting into game-changing stunts
- Detailed Miniatures — The Standard Edition includes 76 standees, each with a plastic base ring, while the Deluxe Version elevates this with 76 high-quality plastic miniatures crafted on a realistic scale of 32 mm. These include 4 Runners, 8 Bandits, 60 Infected, and 4 Large Infected Bosses.
- Night and Day — Experience the duality of day and night, each offering a dramatic shift in challenges and possibilities. This system is reinforced through the use of stickers for buildings with content visible only under UV light.
