Netflix has announced the 'Exploding Kittens Show' and the 'Exploding Kittens Mobile Game,' two new adaptations of the popular hybrid board and card game. In the original card game, the objective of Exploding Kittens is to trick other players into holding the exploding card which eliminates the player from the game. This is done through manipulating the effects of various cards and game mechanics.
Netflix's upcoming mobile game will be very comparable to the board game. It will feature the same gameplay, cards, and mechanics as the board game. However, the mobile game will likely have additional content, such as customizations and card packs. As for the television show, Netflix has announced that the show will explore the concept of God and The Devil coming down to earth in the form of house cats.
