Episode 12 of The Story Hour where we had a blast with Elan Lee, co-founder of Exploding Kittens, goofed about with the super-fun new game Poetry for Neanderthals, talked #gamedesign & a ton more. Elan co-founded 42 Entertainment in 2003 and Fourth Wall Studios in 2007 developing entertainment experiences and a new form of interactive programming that engaged audiences across multiple platforms. He has been featured in WIRED Magazine, The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, and the Wall Street Journal. Exploding Kittens was originally proposed as a Kickstarter project seeking US$10,000 in crowdfunding and exceeded the goal in 8 minutes. On January 27, 2015, 7 days after opening, it passed 103,000 backers setting the record for the most backers in Kickstarter history. At completion on February 19, 2015, it had US$8,782,571 in pledges by 219,382 backers.
