i could put them in a rainbarrel instead
that way no stray kindergarteners will find a bunch of sleeping kittens on the river bank

Seriously, do none of you people understand how this works. It's not like he came up with the idea for a card game and is receiving 3 million dollars magically. He's selling  a product, and of course there's going to be profit, but he has to deliver on that product as well, which means spending a great deal of that money. Then you can't forget Kickstarter's cut.

151,691+ card decks, with boxes, plus however long it takes to sign 400 of those boxes, plus the time it takes to make custom cards for 5 individuals, plus kickstarter's cut, plus profit.

Edit: Added the plus since you know, 27 more days.

Kickstarter collects 5%, or $170,000 at the time of this post. Each deck + box couldn't cost more than $10 to make. 166,751 decks I counted at the time of this post, that makes $1,667,510. $3,392,209 - (170,000 + 1,667,510) = $1,554,699 profit.

Plus shipping (domestic/internationally) 166,751 card decks. Still, I'm not denying there's a profit, I'm just saying its not like Matt Inman drew a bunch of cards and is making $3 mil. It isn't ridiculous, its called business. The three of them came up with an idea, and people are willing to pay for their product.

shipping is being paid by the people who bought the cards iirc, i dont think its free/provided by the creators

Probably, I haven't backed it so I wouldn't know.

The word "extra" seems to imply you're covering the cost of shipping yourself, either that or I'm totally misunderstanding it.

how do you play this

do you just blow up giant pussies or something

catsplosion wouldve been a cooler title

[hillkill]

i would buy it if the title was "blow up your pusillanimous individual"

it's like russian roulette apparently

if you pull a cat explosion card you lose, but you can distract the cat with defuse cards

and there's special cards that let you skip a turn, view the next 3 cards privately, make the next person go twice, etc

it seems like a fun party game imo

its just skipbo combined with russian roulette with a kitty cat theme
