I normally would have ignored the game entirely, but I found a copy of the game at a thrift store for $0.50 and as a bargain shopper I thought it was worth giving it a shot at that price. I originally heard about the game during its Kickstarter campaign, but I never gave it much thought as I always thought it was just popular for being popular. The game quickly received a lot of buzz on the internet eventually leading to the game getting over $8 million in preorders. First launched in January of 2015 Exploding Kittens was only hoping to raise around $10,000. I bring this up because today I am looking at one of the biggest success stories in the history of Kickstarter. Some of the biggest projects on the site have come from card and board games.
In recent years a good source for finding financing for board game projects has been Kickstarter.
