WHAT IS THIS?

Exploding kittens card game created by Elan Lee (XBOX), Matthew Inman (The Oatmeal), and Shane Small (XBOX, Marvel).

The game is essentially Russian Roulette; you draw cards until you draw a kitten, at which point you lose. All the other cards can be used to defend, attack, skip your turn, or defuse the kitten using various action cards. We're running a Kickstarter from January 20th to February 19th. Back the project to get a copy of the game and help us unleash an army of combustive felines upon the earth.

THE GAME

The gameplay of exploding kittens is particularly unique, because the longer you play, the funner it gets. As you draw cards, fewer and fewer cards remain, which means the chances of getting an exploding kitten grows higher. It blends the perfect balance of strategy, luck, and player-to-player interaction.

The game mechanics were designed and created by two seasoned game designers: Elan Lee and Shane Small, and the cards were written and illustrated by The Oatmeal.
