“I’m excited to join the Exploding Kittens team to continue bringing game innovation and humour to the masses,” said Ken.

“This role is a great departure from freelance for me to learn the inner workings of a publisher which understands great hooks and gameplay.”

Exploding Kittens recently launched its 10th game in the form of A Little Wordy. That follows other recent launches for the firm, including Poetry for Neanderthals, A Game of Cat and Mouth and Tacocat Spelled Backwards.
