The Tekken board game reached its crowdfunding goal in 35 minutes and also, by the way, there is a Tekken board game for some reason

There's a board game for everything now. Last time I looked in at my local store they had board games based on Oregon Trail, the Iliad, and World War II espionage in the Mediterranean theater specifically. I shouldn't be surprised there's going to be a board game based on that one fighting game where you can be a jaguar man, and that it comes with flash-looking miniatures including one of said jaguar man with extremely well-defined abs.

Tekken: The Board Game is "an asymmetric fighting game" where one to eight players of ages 13 and up can "fight on various stages, and choose between a single match, and an epic tournament." Its crowdfunding campaign was posted on Gamefound with a goal of €50,000 (roughly $US58,311) that it managed to reach in 35 minutes and 45 seconds. It's now blown well past that, raising more than €350,000 ($408,180), or 700% of its original goal so far.
