Games In January 2015, Inman, Elan Lee, and Shane Small launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for their project Exploding Kittens, a card-based, Russian-roulette-style game with art by Inman. The campaign raised $1million in its first seven hours, and ultimately raised $8.8million, becoming the most-funded card game on Kickstarter. The success of the game prompted Lee and Inman to found a company in 2015, also named Exploding Kittens. Since then, the company Exploding Kittens has released five more games: Bears vs. Babies (2017), You've Got Crabs (2018), Throw Throw Burrito (2019),, On a Scale of One to T-Rex (2019), and the mobile game Kitty Letter (2021). There is also merchandise of characters from the games. In October 2019, it was announced that Peter Chernin, American businessman and the CEO of The Chernin Group (TCG), had invested $30 million for a minority stake in Exploding Kittens. Inman said that the funds will be used to mount a live gaming convention, Burning Cat; and to hire more artists and produce three to five new games a year.
