So that happened.

Obviously, PA needs more kittens.

SOLD.

It's a drinking game?

It certainly can be!

Every time a kitten explodes, take a shot.

Sold.

Every time a kitten explodes, you've already taken the shot.
am I allowed to say that???

Holy ****. Is that 1.6 million?

Yes.

For a fcking deck of cards. With cats.

Once more : internet+cats = money.

EDIT:
WTF i was watching the video on the KS page and i could just watch the number increasing, and quite quickly too.

After actually reading it, it sounds hilarious. If I wasn't poorer than my dog, I'd get it. Even if I never played it. They did very well with the art, me thinks. That and I adore kittehs

So, HR would have succeeded, if only there were more kitten/cat artstyle in it...

...yeah, let me off, I don't want to ride this planet anymore. Where's the astraeus at?

wtf

Smartly (considering they tore past the goal without them) they have no stretch goals and no fiddly shipping extras, so all that additional funding isn't having to be spent beyond manufacturing extra decks.

Yeah basically they are selling a new card game. I doubt they would need kickstarter for that. But hey it's good PR

My friends and I have this card game we play. It's called Bullsh*t. It probably has a proper name along and rich cultural history but screw it.

Here's how it works: You get a normal deck, take out the jokers and then hand out the cards until there are none left (if there are leftovers just pop em face down in the middle).

The first person to play puts their card face down in the centre and states what it is (eg 3 of clubs). The next person has to place a card facedown on top of the previous player, now the catch is it has to be either one higher, or one lower than whatever the previous person played (so a 4 of something or 2 of something), if it's a king/ace it just rolls over.

Here's the fun part: You don't have to tell the truth. If someone puts an 8 down you can just slip your ace on top and call it a 9. However this will open a window for any player to... Call bullsh*t of course! If someone does so, and they call your bluff you have to take all the cards from the centre pile. If they're wrong, they have to take the pile. You cannot call BS on someone after the next player has put a card down. The objective is simply to get rid of all your cards.

Tons of fun!

Hey we called something very similar "a**hole" when I was in school.

I call BS on that.

c wat i did thar?

Now you have a lot more cards in your hand

In Spain we call it mentiroso (lier)
