Just read that the first print run of Gloomhaven was only 5,000 copies

Found that in a footnote of a designer interview. It's wild to think how that game blew up from such a small start. Anyone have other examples of games that started tiny and got huge?

Remember how small the first Settlers of Catan print run was?

The original German version had a print run of just 500 copies. It's wild that a game that small could become a global phenomenon.
