“I’ve been watching how Top Ten has captivated players throughout Europe, and it’s pretty exciting to get the chance to adapt it for English-speaking players,” said Elan Lee, Co-Creator and CEO of Exploding Kittens.

“With the strategy of Scattergories and the chaotic shouting of charades, it’s versatile enough to entertain a pair of players or an entire party,” said Ken Gruhl, Senior Game Designer at Exploding Kittens.

“We couldn’t think of a better game to build a universe around than Exploding Kittens, one of the most inventive, iconic and original games of this century!” said Mike Moon, Head of Adult Animation at Netflix.

Exploding Kittens’ Senior Game Designer Carol Mertz discusses inventors, creativity and designing for the mass market.

Carly McGinnis was previously Exploding Kittens’ Head of Production, Sales and Logistics.

“We are thrilled to join the co-founders and The Chernin Group as shareholders of the business, which will enable us to strengthen our go-to-market strategy in the US and more closely collaborate on game design,” said Stéphane Carville, CEO of Asmodee.

Each puzzle features artwork by the Oatmeal and Exploding Kittens’ creative team, and comes with a poster.

As the firm ramps up its global inventor outreach, we spoke with Zach Schiff-Abrams – Head of Creative Development at Exploding Kittens – about the recent Happy Salmon acquisition, and what the team are looking for from inventors.

The company will be reimagining Happy Salmon with an Exploding-Kittens twist and re-releasing the game this November.

“We’re looking for games that deliver exciting and memorable gameplay, yet are simple to explain to our customers,” said Exploding Kittens’ Thor Ritz.
