Exploding Kittens has launched a Kickstarter campaign for the company’s newest game, Hand-to-Hand Wombat.
“Since the beginning, there has been something magical about our Kickstarter community – it’s been at the core of our company and helped us get to where we are today,” says Elan Lee, Co-Creator and CEO of Exploding Kittens. “This time, we wanted to rewrite the rules and create a campaign that was as entertaining as our new game, Hand-to-Hand Wombat. It’s so well designed and we know our community is going to love it.”
Hand-To-Hand Wombat is a game of “teamwork, towers and troublemakers”. Combining social deduction and stacking bricks, one team works together to build towers before the other team can secretly sabotage them. Ideal for players aged 7 and up, the new game features the wombat character from The Oatmeal, the popular comic founded by Exploding Kittens’ co-creator Matthew Inman.
“Hand-To-Hand Wombat is rowdy, social fun,” says Carol Mertz, Senior Game Designer at Exploding Kittens. “We aim for this kind of experience with all our games, so we’re especially proud of the design of this one. It’s the perfect game to pump up the energy of your game nights — players will be laughing and shouting the entire time.”
