    Exploding Kittens Card Game

    I did not see a thread for this game so here it is. Three dudes started a kickstarter for a card game that is basically uno. One of those dudes happens to be Mathew Inman the guy behind the webcomic The Oatmeal.

    This campaign raised over $3million in 3 days. It is breaking all sorts of records.

    I think the game sounds and looks really funny/fun.

    Go get your exploding kittens!

    Looks fun(ny). I'm bummed there aren't more rewards for backing it though.

    Me too but it says in the FAQ that they wanted to make sure that they would be able to ship out the game as fast as possible once the campaign is done which is why the rewards are so simple. They also said that they are discussing other rewards for backers now based on the huge amount of support they have gotten.

    Well I just put in 35 for the NSFW deck. Concept is hilarious and a lot of my family is into board games and card games, so this will fit in nicely.

    This would translate well to a digital version with animations on the cards. I would enjoy that.

    Tempted to get the NSFW deck... for work lol. Totally not surprised at it's success with The Oatmeal behind it. A digital steam version would be a spectacular addition.

    Woah what? 8.7m$ For a noncollectable cardgame? That seems ridiculous lol. How are they going to even use that for the game? I can't imagine it costing more then 200k to print everything. Am I like way off by that? Seems like a sweet game no doubt, but dayam they got hella cash.

    What's not to get? Beyond the handful of higher tier perks, they just presold a fuckload of copies of the game.

    Got my box yesterday. Haven't played yet or even looked at the cards but I am stoked. I like how well they presented the game. The secret surprise made me chuckle.

    I haven't even received the shipping confirmation from Blackbox yet. E-mailed support yesterday and nothing from them either.

    We haven't played it. I'll give it a shot. I'm just saying my initial reaction was wtf you're an idiot.
