Video game adaptations have enjoyed a surge in popularity in recent years, but tabletop games have yet to receive the same level of attention. However, the arrival of Exploding Kittens on Netflix, an adult animated series based on the popular card game, suggests a potential shift in that approach. Exploding Kittens shares its name with the game that inspired it, but it's worth noting the cartoon is only loosely based on the original. Released on July 12, the animated show playfully explores what might happen if God were fired from his position and sent to Earth to reconnect with his creation, albeit in a cat's body.
