*Totally went off on a tangent and forgot to say that maybe an option is for miniatures to only ever be a deluxe pledge level or an add-on for board games so that only the people who really want them get them, and not EVERY board game contains all this plastic that some people might not even want!

About Radlands, from BoardGameGeek:
Radlands is a competitive, dueling card game about identifying fiercely powerful card synergies.
Act as the leader of your post apocalyptic group of survivors in a tooth-and-nail fight to protect your three camps from a vicious rival tribe. If all of them are destroyed, you lose the game.
The main resource in the game is water. You will spend it to play people and events, and to use the abilities of cards you already have on the table. People protect your camps and provide useful abilities, while events are powerful effects that take time to pay off.
Both players draw cards from the same deck. All cards can either be played to the table or discarded for quick “junk” effects. To win, you will need to manage your cards and water wisely.
