I wrote last week about the dude who runs The Oatmeal running a Kickstarter for a new version of the game called "Bomb Squad". Along with 2 other maniacs, they renamed it "Exploding Kittens" and essentially reinvented the whole game. You draw cards, and if you draw an exploding kitten, you're dead and out of the game. However, they built in ways of avoiding the kittens (seeing the future, skipping your draw etc). It's full of Oatmeal drawings, and looks like a helluva lot of fun.

$4,260,00. For a card game. OVER 4 MILLION!!! And it has 22 days to go before it's closed to funding.

Oculus Rift, the virtual reality headset that sold to FaceBook for $2 Billion? Yeah. That got about $2.5 million on Kickstarter.

I was talking about how much I wanted to get this game, because it looks simple, fun as hell, and and awesome way to screw with your friends while playing. It's simple but it's full of strategy.

Because it's made so much freaking money, they're now including a NSFW deck, which can be combined with the regular one so 8 people can play at once.

I'm already in. I think it's an awesome idea, and I freaking love Kickstarter lately. Plus, if you buy in, you can say you were part of the most popular Kickstarter campaign ever.

If you're into that kind of thing.
