The Oatmeal comics creator raised one and a half million dollars for a game about exploding kittens
Matthew Inman, the author of the popular comics of The Oatmeal , together with friends launched a fee for the Exploding Kittens card game dedicated to exploding kittens. 10 thousand dollars that Inman planned to collect in 30 days, the game was donated in 8 minutes. At the time of writing, a note - less than a day after the start of the campaign at Kickstarter - the amount of funds raised exceeded $ 1.6 million.
The creators of the game compare it with the “Russian roulette”: players take turns taking it out of the card deck. The one who comes across a map with a kitten “explodes” and immediately flies out of the game - but kittens can be distracted with special cards (for example, with a laser pointer) and thus “survive”. In addition, Exploding KitTens provides for special cards that allow you to skiden or attack rivals.
The game is becoming more and more intense with each card that you pull out - because the fewer cards remain in the deck, the higher the chance to pull out the kitten drawing and explode, becoming a fiery ball of cat hyperbola (English).
