description Exploding Kittens Overview

Exploding Kittens is a card game designed by Elan Lee, Matthew Inman, and Shane Small. Players draw cards while trying to avoid drawing an Exploding Kitten, which normally eliminates them unless they can use a Defuse card or another permitted effect. The game combines hand management, take-that effects, and luck with illustrated humor, and it is intended for casual group play. It was launched through Kickstarter in 2015 and became one of the platform's most prominent campaigns.
