Exploding Kittens has become a popular multiplayer card game over the past couple of months, and now even the AI chatbots want in on the action. Indeed, for the first time ever, you can now play the popular Exploding Kittens card game in single player mode with Microsoft’s Zo chatbot on Facebook Messenger, KIK, and GroupMe.
For those unfamiliar, Exploding Kittens is a strategic multiplayer card game where players can take turns drawing cards until someone draws an exploding kitten and loses the game. The game started as a Kickstarter project, and more 200,000 donors raised more than $8.7 million in funding to it to retail. Check out the video below for more details on how the game works.
To line up with today’s announcement, Microsoft is also sharing that the company’s social chatbots have more than 100 million users around the world. If you would like to get started with playing the card game you need to start a conversation with Zo and ask her “Play EK.” Zo will then reply with a link to play together.
