Deep Rock Galactic board game Kickstarter pulls in nearly $1 million in 1 day for a trio of new expansions

There's a term in tabletop gaming: "beer and pretzels." It's an epithet you'll find tacked on to any game best played with unserious intentions and inebriants aplenty. I've described Deep Rock Galactic to friends as a "beer and pretzels" sort of horde shooter, so I don't know why it never occurred to me that one of the best co-op games on Steam would also make a great party-friendly board game. It absolutely did from the looks of it, and three expansions are now inbound after publisher MOOD's Kickstarter for the addons secured full funding in all of five minutes.

You can follow the board game expansions' Kickstarter here, where at the time of writing it's amassed over $900,000 in crowdfunding—well past the target of $23,540. The first update blog confirms that a legion of 3,732 backers carried the campaign to 3788% funding in the first 24 hours.
