Netflix has seemingly gone all in on an Exploding Kittens franchise, having launched a mobile version of the card game earlier this year. Nine different variations of Exploding Kittens has been released, along with three expansions. The game expanded into a full company, with Exploding Kittens releasing a number of easy to play card and party games that can be found both at local game stores and mass retailers.
The franchise was launched thanks to a Kickstarter that raised over $8 million back in 2015, setting records for the most backers. The game's rules are simple – players draw cards until someone draws an Exploding Kitten, which then explodes and'kills' the player, eliminating them from the game. If the name Exploding Kittens sounds familiar, it's because the TV show is technically an adaptation of an enormously popular card game co-designed by The Oatmeal creator Matthew Inman along with Shane Small and Elan Lee. The series stars Ellis as God, who is somehow sent to Earth in the body of a cat and is forced to continue his eternal battle with the devil. This week, Netflix released the first trailer for Exploding Kittens, a new animated series starring Tom Ellis, Abraham Lim, Lucy Liu, Ally Maki, Mark Proksch and Sasheer Zamata. Netflix has unveiled its first trailer for Exploding Kittens, an animated series based on the popular tabletop card game.
