The Exploding Kittens card game is now available for download on Apple iOS, and for a few days, all in-app purchases totally free. This includes the party pack expansion deck and a whole bunch of avatars—Gentleman Tofu, Business Sharl, and Unwell Pizza among them.



You won't need an internet connection to play. The multiplayer game combines WiFi and Bluetooth, so all you've got to do is stand near your friends to play. The developers note that this is a new process, and users will experience some bugs. The team, however, is working to fix these bugs as they come up.

Developed by Elan Lee, Shane Small, and Matthew Inman, Exploding Kittens raised $8.7 million on Kickstarter last year—well over their initial goal of $10,000. With 219,382 supporters, the game is still Kickstarter's most funded game of all time.


Exploding Kittens can be downloaded for $2 on iOS devices. An Android compatible app is "in the pipeline," though no official release date has been revealed.
