Exploding Kittens is a card game designed by Elan Lee, Shane Small and Matthew Inman from the comics site The Oatmeal. Originally proposed as a Kickstarter project seeking US $10,000 in crowdfunding, it exceeded the goal in eight minutes[1] and on January 27, 2015, seven days after opening, it passed 106,000 backers setting the record for most backers in Kickstarter history. At completion on February 19, 2015, it had $8,782,571 USD in pledges by 219,382 backers. The campaign ended as the fourth most funded campaign on the crowdfunding site.[2] The first play test of Exploding Kittens was recorded on YouTube by Smosh Games, who had the first deck. The backers started receiving delivery in late July 2015
According to the site, the game is "essentially Russian Roulette; you draw cards until you draw an exploding kitten, at which point you explode and lose."
The game takes the principle a step further, adding cards that allow players to "defuse" kittens (thus preventing them from losing), look at upcoming cards in the deck, skip turns, and otherwise alter the flow of gameplay with cards such as "laser pointers", "rubbing the belly of a pig-a-corn", strapping on a "cheetah butt", and "unleash the narnope" in order to defuse kitten bombs, see cards in the deck, skip turns, and cancel a player's last action.
