'Exploding Kittens' Card Game Is Probably The Next 'Cards Against Humanity'

'Exploding Kittens' Is The Card Game You Will Be Giddily Playing Sometime In The Next Year

Cats against humanity.

After just 20 minutes on Kickstarter, a card game known as "Exploding Kittens" had been reached its $10,000 goal. Within an hour, its backing was at 1000 percent of that goal. Within seven hours, it had reached $1 million, and now, a day later, the backing is at $1.8 million and still rising. To say this game will likely be a success would be stating the obvious.

The game, created by Elan Lee and Shane Small, both of XBox Entertainment Studios, and Matthew Inman of The Oatmeal, starts you off with a 56-card deck (good enough for four players) and is filled with hilariously drawn kittens and lasers and "weaponized enchiladas" and other awesomely bizarre ways to outplay your opponents. It's a Russian roulette style of gameplay, whereby the object is to ultimately avoid drawing an exploding kitten card, and remain the last human standing.

Your dream involving a kitty launching a nuclear strike is finally here.
