No, Exploding Kittens isn't a video game, but the team behind it has some legitimate video game bona fides. Some cards allow players to fend off elimination by "defusing" an exploding kitten, while others let players peek at upcoming cards, avoid their next turn, or even reshuffle the whole deck. The Exploding Kittens campaign page pitches the game as "a kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette." Players take turns drawing cards from a deck if someone draws an Exploding Kitten card, they're out. That's not bad, especially for a plain old card game. The campaign easily blew past its original $10,000 goal, and currently sports over 140,000 backers - and that number's still rising. With customer dissatisfaction growing, some analysts think that Kickstarter might have peaked - but don't tell that to Elan Lee, Shane Small, and Matt Inman, the team behind Exploding Kittens.Īt over $5.5 million with twelve days left, Exploding Kittens isn't just the best-funded game in Kickstarter history it's the sixth best-funded project on Kickstarter, period. Many campaigns overpromise and under-deliver worse, only a third of Kickstarter's video game campaigns actually ship a complete product. While video games dominated the platform in 2013, the gaming community is growing increasingly wary of Kickstarter projects. Over time, however, Kickstarter lost some of its bloom.
