Exploding Kittens is a card game created in 2015 by Elan Lee, Shane Small and Matthew Inman. Inspired by Russian Roulette games, it features explosive kittens in absurd and humorous situations. With its quirky illustrations by Matthew Inman, alias The Oatmeal, this game quickly became a social phenomenon, notably thanks to its record-breaking crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. Today, Exploding Kittens is distributed worldwide and has been released in several versions, making this franchise one of the most popular board games of the decade.
