When Elan, Matthew and Shane thought of Kickstarter to fund their Exploding Kittens card game, there's no way that they had foreseen how successful their project would be.

Exploding Kittens may seem like a funny name for a game, but it's in fact a highly strategic card game that requires some skills in order to master.

Above all else though, Exploding Kittens is very fun to play and those more than 27,000 backers that pledged various amounts of money to the project realized that.

This isn't your usual online card game you play with other players randomly selected by a server. Exploding Kittens is a real card game that plays with real cards and in which, depending on your strategy, you can make fun or your friends or torture them.

The game supports 2-4 players, but those who want to accommodate more can do so by ordering an extra pack of cards that will expand the number of players to 8.

The card game is expected to be ready for shipping in July 2015

Exploding Kittens mechanics can be compared to that of the Russian Roulette game because, as players take turns drawing cards, the chances that someone draws an exploding kitten and lose the game is increasing. As the game progresses, it gets more intense, but funnier as well.

According to those who started the Kickstarter campaign, backers shouldn't wait too much for their Exploding Kittens game, “none of us want this to be a campaign where you spend the next two years getting fifty emails about production updates and delays. We want you to back this project, and then within a few weeks of the campaign ending you'll get your stuff in the mail.”

If you want to know more about Exploding Kittens or even pledge, then by all means head over to the project's Kickstarter page and choose your pledge level.
