Exploding Kittens raised millions of dollars in crowdfunding money from hundreds of thousands of backers and it still holds the record as the most-backed project on Kickstarter to date—and now, Exploding Kittens is planning to launch its first licensed game, Exploding Minions.
Exploding Minions was inspired by the most successful animated franchise of all time and it features fresh illustrations of the yellow cartoon aliens by The Oatmeal. The game is easy to learn and quick to play, and kids and adults alike promise to be delighted by the Russian Roulette-style game. There are new card types and players are meant to avoid exploding and be the last one standing by using strategies like the all-new Clone Card.
