Exploding Kittens Is The Highest Backed Kickstarter Project Ever

Ah, card games... Nothing like a good one when you need to finish that six pack of beer, that half bottle of red wine and the tequila. All in one glass. Here's a new one...

If you don’t love spending your procrastination hours reading through The Oatmeal, then you live a sad, sad life and I suggest you get on the bandwagon ASAP.

To make his humour more available to everyone, Matthew Inman (the guy who IS The Oatmeal) decided to create a brand new card game called Exploding Kittens.

He joined Kickstarter, asking for a mere $10 000 and what happened has blown everyone’s minds.

Within 24 hours, the funding had reached $1 million.

Whaaaaat?

It now has 107,000 backers pledging $4.2 million, [and is] the most-backed Kickstarter project of all time.

This looks like a fun game, also. I reckon if you order it now you could have it in time for the SONA…
