Exploding Kittens Image: Exploding Kittensįor those that didn’t know The Oatmeal’s comics, this was the perfect introduction. These games have given new life to card games and reminded us of why they’re fun.
But the creators didn’t stop there and have since released a whole range of other games in the Exploding Kittens– verse, that have all brought a new spin to playing cards. In 2015 Exploding Kittens hit its crowdfunding goal in under 7 hours and went on to become the most-funded card game on Kickstarter.
And with that, they gave us the gift that was Exploding Kittens – a card game for a generation. They paired games with a warped sense of humour and Inman’s comic illustrations. Well, Matthew Inman, creator of The Oatmeal, and his collaborators Elan Lee and Shane Small, took that idea and added something unique. When you think of great card games from the last seven years, it’s easy to look at Cards Against Humanity or any of the similar games that grew from the idea of seeing how funny being crude could be.
