Get In On Whole Sale Cat Carnage in Exploding Kittens Kickstarter!
January 23, 2015 by dracs
A new card game has appeared on Kickstarter that appears to have everyone excited, having already gone over the £3,000,000 marker (at time of writing). It's time for a game of Exploding Kittens!
Exploding Kittens is made by Elan Lee, Shane Small and Matthew Inman, the man behind the webcomic series The Oatmeal, whose artistic style is immediately apparent.
The game essentially takes the form of an incredibly weird game of Russian roulette. Players take turns to draw cards. Should they draw an Exploding Kitten, they are out of the game.
However, all hope is not lost as they can diffuse the deadly Kittens.
Or they can use various other tactical cards, which allow them to skip their turn, peek at the deck, or even secretly relocate exploding kittens to come up with cruel strategies.
As you can see, this game is random in every meaning of the word. With cards like dangerous back hair, goat wizards and pigacorns taking their place alongside cute, cuddly kittens of death. The game will most likely be a hit with fans of The Oatmeal, but its simple game mechanics and the prospect of blowing kittens up will no doubt draw in other gamers to give this a go.
Do you like the idea of Exploding Kittens? Have you chipped into the Kickstarter yet?

Ha! I posted first about this (News and Rumours forums). 😉
Looking at the money and backers count in real time is just crazy!
Looks amaze-balls!!
Had only just gone over 400 pledgers when I pledged, certainly come a long way in a short time!
Let’s see if they can keep the momentum and the backers interest!
I can’t believe how much money this has pulled in! I was tempted to back myself, but when you factor in $15 shipping to the UK on top of what is a relatively expensive card game I decided I’d just keep my money to spend on Conan! 😉
backed this the moment I saw it 😀
Brilliant looking game, lots of fun, backed it as soon as I knew about it 🙂
Meow?……
Meow?……
Me…..BOOOOOOM!!!!!
This has got to be a record, over 3 million dollars pledged for this game!
