Exploding Kittens becomes the most backed Kickstarter project of all time
E xploding 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, a ttack, skip your turn, or defuse the kitten using various action cards. They're running a Kickstarter from January 20th to February 19th. Back the project and get a copy of the game and help them unleash an army of combustive felines upon the earth.
Curious kittens ploding are the Internet's new potato salad meets "Reading Rainbow" with a guest appearance by Veronica Mars, meaning this card game is seriously winning the hearts of Internet users and party game lovers alike.
is now the most backed campaign in Kickstarter history, in terms of the number of backers, according to the crowdfunding platform. And it's No.2 in terms of money, raising $4 million since its January 20 launch -- far exceeding the initial $10,000 goal. (The Ouya gaming console has so far raised the most money: $8.6 million.)
Kickstarter spokesman David Gallagher confirmed the game, which has everything from magical enchiladas to cats that can kkkill you, had set a record for the most individual donors. More than 108,000 individuals have pledged as of Tuesday evening.
