I didn't even get a chance to breath, I think I will now just hold my breath till I get the game.
DriveWRX 2015-01-20T13:31:51-05:00
Wow no kidding, that was fast! Congrats.
David Stinemetze 2015-01-20T13:33:29-05:00
Shut up and take my money!
Wesley Faulkner 2015-01-20T13:35:08-05:00
For the custom cards, can I give you a theme or a base graphic to work in?
Ella Carpenter 2015-01-20T13:35:47-05:00
If this beats the Reading Rainbow Kickstarter, will you have a Rainbow Exploding Kittens expansion pack? It could happen.
Spencer Reeve 2015-01-20T13:36:22-05:00
My body is ready.
Mark Valentin 2015-01-20T13:37:21-05:00
Took too long for the $500 ugh :<
Joshua Bethell 2015-01-20T13:38:17-05:00
Well. That happened.
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-01-20T13:38:31-05:00
Congrats on passing the goal so quickly!
Gravee 2015-01-20T13:40:25-05:00
Ok, so who pledged like $40k?
Gravee 2015-01-20T13:41:09-05:00
NVM I can't math
Jessica Last 2015-01-20T13:41:16-05:00
I'm too excited!
Jeff Richards 2015-01-20T13:41:34-05:00
This is like watching the national debt clock.
Stu Ward 2015-01-20T13:41:35-05:00
I'm totally in - gotta admit, it seems a little spendy for what's in the box so far. Here's hoping for some additional stretches to boost the number of cards!
Amanda Butikofer 2015-01-20T13:42:53-05:00
I *love* that most backers are picking the NSFW version. Thrilled that there's a game I can play with my kids, with an expansion for just adults - thanks Oatmeal (and the other 2 guys)!
Ron Soesan 2015-01-20T13:43:52-05:00
An easy "shut up and take my money" case.
I want this before July!! ASAP!
Peer 2015-01-20T13:44:56-05:00
This is just crazy
Tony 2015-01-20T13:46:25-05:00
So I pledge my money... 8k and change pledged... Goal is set at 10k... Dang... I gotta go on facebook and spread the word... I want... NO! I NEED THIS GAME!!!
POST ON FACEBOOK...
35 seconds later... 40k and change.... How many friends do I have on facebook?
Jay Sutton 2015-01-20T13:47:01-05:00
Question: The NSFW tier asks you to pledge an extra $40 for each deck, even though the base cost of the tier is $35. Is that a typo or to cover extra shipping/printing costs?
SeventhMold 2015-01-20T13:48:03-05:00
Jay, that would be a good question to send direct to one of the creators. They may put out an update to explain that. Good catch.
Erik Tye 2015-01-20T13:48:25-05:00
How about a stretch goal! Big congrats to you guys!
Emily Sheafe 2015-01-20T13:48:46-05:00
Any plans for awesome stretch goal rewards now that we are approaching 10x the initial goal?
Chris McCubbin 2015-01-20T13:48:50-05:00
+1 stretch goals!
Jeremy Lynnes 2015-01-20T13:49:50-05:00
LOL - 1000% Funded after an hour. Any chance we could see additional cards added?
SeventhMold 2015-01-20T13:49:52-05:00
Maybe the extra will go towards the Tesla Museum?
Pete Davidson 2015-01-20T13:49:56-05:00
+1 stretch goals
Amanda Blaine 2015-01-20T13:50:05-05:00
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Jim Thompson 2015-01-20T13:50:15-05:00
Can we get a version of the game where you're out when you get a non-exploding kitten? I'd be willing to pay more if there were no duplicate exploding kittens.
Derek Dyer 2015-01-20T13:51:05-05:00
Totally backing the NSFW version, but I'm going to need some stretch rewards! This thing is blowing up.
Annika King 2015-01-20T13:51:34-05:00
In memory of Bear Love!
Adam Gordon 2015-01-20T13:52:08-05:00
good lord those sold out fast. glad i have fast email fingers.
Adrian Drake 2015-01-20T13:52:36-05:00
How about this for a stretch goal - one lucky buyer gets Matthew's Tesla :)
Henea 2015-01-20T13:53:27-05:00
Best way to spend my money!
Heather Johnson 2015-01-20T13:53:32-05:00
+1 stretch goals, even if it includes donating to the Tesla Museum. :)
Crystal Gunter 2015-01-20T13:54:19-05:00
WE WANT MOAR KITTENS!!! First 8 million backers get an actual kitten.
Sean Glotfelty 2015-01-20T13:55:49-05:00
I can't wait to play this game.
Ron B. 2015-01-20T13:56:27-05:00
Well, that escalated quickly...
Nick Armendariz 2015-01-20T13:57:15-05:00
Almost $130K in 30 minutes you guys are AWESOME this is a testament to how in demand your stuff is. Keep up the good work.
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-01-20T13:57:49-05:00
Dang, wish there were some stretch goals laid out from the beginning. It's gone up so fast!
Adam Lewis - Erudite Esoterist 2015-01-20T13:58:42-05:00
How on earth I got in in time to get a collectors edition I have no idea! Spontaneous decision but one I'm certain I won't regret!
Ethan James Marx 2015-01-20T14:01:23-05:00
Mother of pearl.
Sara Halliday 2015-01-20T14:01:59-05:00
You definitely should have charged more.
SeventhMold 2015-01-20T14:02:02-05:00
By Odin's beard!
psyco363 2015-01-20T14:06:56-05:00
i think your cat is exploding @ Elan Lee =)
Clive Chan 2015-01-20T14:08:25-05:00
How many cards is the NSFW pack?
John Nardello 2015-01-20T14:09:21-05:00
Any chance an example of one of the NSFW cards could get posted somewhere (on the project site maybe if it doesn't work for kickstarter ? )
Simon 2015-01-20T14:09:47-05:00
whoa, you can see the backers counter just going up and up and up... and still 30 days to go :D
Dan John 2015-01-20T14:10:59-05:00
@Sara Halliday
For a card game? No, this is the perfect price.
Dan Lo Bianco 2015-01-20T14:11:54-05:00
Well this exploded quickly.
Luke 2015-01-20T14:12:54-05:00
@creator Will the standard deck with the nsfw exp all fit in the box?
Mona Nãmo Malmedal 2015-01-20T14:15:10-05:00
You had me and my $55 at "Exploding kittens"
Gwin Wench Morgan 2015-01-20T14:18:21-05:00
Take my money! TAKE IT I SAY!
Chas Llewellyn 2015-01-20T14:20:11-05:00
Brilliant! Well played gentleman....well played!
Barb Armendáriz 2015-01-20T14:20:50-05:00
Amazing ! I love that you're "exploding kitten-starter"!
Dude, would SO give you a 100 bucks if you expanded that level... though that's unlikely considering how insane this whole thing is going (it went from 128 to 228 in just the time it took me to see "exploding kittens", pledge with an existing KS account, and write this commen kvetching about not being able to give you MORE MONEY).
Cindy Coubrough 2015-01-20T14:21:17-05:00
Got in under $60,000. lol You can just sit and watch the amount climb, amazing. :D
sylk 2015-01-20T14:22:23-05:00
I have a request for Magical Enchilada t-shirts. Either as an add-on or a stretch goal.
Donnie Podhorsky 2015-01-20T14:22:49-05:00
The internet was won today by exploding kittens.
Shane 2015-01-20T14:24:27-05:00
Really wanted a Legends (great idea) or collectors edition... sadness ensues
K 2015-01-20T14:25:26-05:00
More $500 bundles please!
Jeff Richards 2015-01-20T14:26:04-05:00
I'm also curious how many cards are in the NSFW deck...
Chris S Luzynski 2015-01-20T14:26:22-05:00
I'm sure you all probably expected to hit your goals but I'm curious what your best case scenario was.
Nicole Anderson 2015-01-20T14:26:56-05:00
Are there further expansions planned? Perhaps themed kitties? (Space kitties, genetically modified kitties, murder kitties, etc). If not, may I suggest them?
ashley edwards 2015-01-20T14:33:43-05:00
Any chance the collectors edition will be back?
John Madigan 2015-01-20T14:35:12-05:00
Only because The Oatmeal is involved am I breaking from my pledge to not get involved with anything on KS again...
Jenny Kadinger 2015-01-20T14:35:16-05:00
I would love to get the additional opportunity to get a $100 bundle, but seeing as this whole thing is exploding with support, even if they expanded the number of $100 bundles, I would likely miss the opportunity again. Curse you, day job, for making miss the beginnings of this kick starter! :-P
Dusty C 2015-01-20T14:36:52-05:00
An expansion pack for additional players would be a fantastic add-on. (If possible, an even awesomer stretch goal)
Kellen Mulhern 2015-01-20T14:38:16-05:00
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
George Ellsworth 2015-01-20T14:39:58-05:00
What about bacon?
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-01-20T14:41:33-05:00
Ooh, yes, adding more players would be great. Moar please!
Elizabeth Precht 2015-01-20T14:43:14-05:00
.....1000% funded in less than an hour? Your math is off lol...but it's ok, I'm sure it will be to $1,000,000 soon.
Amanda Morse 2015-01-20T14:46:17-05:00
This was my first Kickstarter pledge. Not even reading Rainbow got money from me, you majestic bastards.
Mike Clark 2015-01-20T14:46:22-05:00
T-Rex Attack Card! Discard a randomly picked card from another player's hand.
Elizabeth Precht 2015-01-20T14:46:45-05:00
ok, maybe my math is off...doh!!!
Wes Barichak 2015-01-20T14:47:41-05:00
Is it July yet? :D
Thomas 2015-01-20T14:47:52-05:00
*click play video*... "Hi, my name is Matthew Inman..." *BACKED*
Michael James Nelson 2015-01-20T14:48:19-05:00
Oh man, I can exchange 35 sheets of paper for two decks of cards? This is the best deal ever.
Tony 2015-01-20T14:48:31-05:00
@ Elizabeth Precht 1000% of 10,000 is 100,000.... not 1,000,000... but if they had more $500 packages they would have gotten to a mil much sooner.... :P
Jay Bloggs 2015-01-20T14:48:48-05:00
@Elizabeth Precht - You might be right... if it continues at this rate the total will be nearer $6million
Renee Powell 2015-01-20T14:48:50-05:00
So, how old do you need to be to play the NSFW deck? I'm 30. Am I old enough to play this with my 35-year-old husband? What about our 20-something friends?
(Yes, this was completely tongue-in-cheek.)
Nicolas Theriault-Langelier 2015-01-20T14:49:58-05:00
Would love to know if you guys are adding more limited edition sets. I was going to back that but it sounds like those were all snatched up as soon as this was posted. Congrats on your successful project though!
Barbara Palace 2015-01-20T14:51:34-05:00
Anything involving The Oatmeal = take my money. Please.
Jordan 2015-01-20T14:52:01-05:00
I followed this Mathew Inman guy on Twitter yesterday because I liked a picture I saw there. Now I'm giving him $35 ggwp
Rick Brennan 2015-01-20T14:52:39-05:00
Gotta get a blerch! Maybe he can sit in an exploding kitten to save the world.
Can not wait for July when I can get this awesome thing. I'm now telling people "I'm backing Exploding Kittens" and waiting for their reactions so I can get them to back it too!
Mark Brenner 2015-01-20T14:54:38-05:00
Boy all I can say is I hope they are ready for this level of backing lol...
Jonathan Lee 2015-01-20T14:56:26-05:00
Any chance on more legendary lvls at the $100 lvl?
Mark Greenstein 2015-01-20T14:57:29-05:00
Need this right meow.
Alex 2015-01-20T14:58:53-05:00
What will they do with the extra money I wonder?
Aaron Holmes 2015-01-20T14:59:08-05:00
If you guys release any expansions, I implore you to make a goat-themed one. Goats are kinda my thing, and you will have my money.
Aaron Holmes 2015-01-20T14:59:20-05:00
I will even give you my money, too.
Aaron Holmes 2015-01-20T14:59:48-05:00
I don't know what I'm saying. Money, goats, yes.
Joshua Bethell 2015-01-20T15:00:21-05:00
I was here so early and decided against dropping $100 in favour of the standard 35 nsfw kit. Now I feel like an exploding fool! I wonder if they increase if the number if early backers can get first refusal on upping their pledge.....?
Shan Niroola 2015-01-20T15:01:30-05:00
Nice. This blew up following the post on the oatmeal. There were 115 backers when I saw it on my phone. I walked to my desk and pledged 5 minutes later and am something like 465. Would love to see the stats on backing rate over time today. Just by observing the count they are adding like one a second right now. Amazing.
Ian J. Cutress 2015-01-20T15:02:05-05:00
Exploding Kitten T-Shirt please.
Expansion packs too
Chris Scalzo 2015-01-20T15:03:04-05:00
Ummm... Stretch Goals? How much money you guys are about to make, 200+ card game is doable.
Travis Britton 2015-01-20T15:03:47-05:00
I don't like Cat's but love the concept of this game.
Well that was funded quickly. Congrats.
I didn't even get a chance to breath, I think I will now just hold my breath till I get the game.
Wow no kidding, that was fast! Congrats.
Shut up and take my money!
