‘Exploding Kittens’ for iOS Debuts with Free In-App Purchases Promo

If you’re a fan of The Oatmeal, then you probably are aware of Exploding Kittens, a boardgame created by the comic’s founder Matthew Inman, plus his friends Shane Small (Xbox, Marvel) and Elan Lee (Xbox, ARGs).

The boardgame became the most-funded game in Kickstarter history, raising $8.78 million last February from nearly 220,000 backers. Exploding Kittens launched on iOS today, and right now a promo offers free in-app purchases for a limited time (Party Expansion Pack; Animals/Food Avatar Packs) . This bonus has now boosted the app to the Top Paid app spot in Canada in less than a day.
