The makers of the silly card game Exploding Kittens are partnering with the makers of a TV series based on the franchise. Exploding Kittens, an exclusive version of the beloved mobile game, will launch in May, while the TV show is an adult animated comedy series. The new game will be the latest in a series of mobile titles that can be played for free with a subscription.

There is a version of Exploding Kittens available on the App Store and Google Play, but there will be two exclusive cards at launch. There will be new cards and game mechanics related to the animated series. Unfortunately, any progress, expansion packs, or saves you might have from the current mobile versions won't transfer to the current game on the platform.

The upcoming TV show promises to be as wacky as you might expect.
