Contention Games founder Gary Dworetsky raised nearly $4 million with his 2022 Kickstarter for Slay the Spire: The Board Game, which turned 2019’s genre-defining rougelike deckbuilder into a cooperative tabletop game. Now, Dworetsky is adding more variety to the experience with Downfall, a tabletop expansion based on the fan-made video game mod of the same name that has already raised $3.8 million since launching on Kickstarter on March 24.
