Roly Poly Goalie
To play, two opponents rapidly flip cards simultaneously until they reach a tie, by flipping identical cards at the same time. When this happens, players grab their soft, squishy Roly Poly characters and compete in a variety of active challenges, including a dodgeball battle, a bowling-style roll-off, and other hilarious movements to score points. The perfect get-up-and-play giggle maker, Roly Poly Goalie is bound to provide hours of laughter, build family connection, and active fun for adults and kids alike.
Roly Poly Goalie joins six other game titles, including the fan-favorite Hurry Up Chicken Butt, in Exploding Kittens' Kitten Games collection designed specifically for preschool-aged players. Initially launched in 2023, the idea for Kitten Games was born when Lee became frustrated with the available games on the market to play with his own 4-year-old daughter at the time, Avalon. The father-daughter duo designed each of the collection's games to be equally enjoyable for kids and adults alike, each incorporating hidden developmental benefits like decision-making, creativity, pattern recognition, and more.
"For generations, roly-polies have been kids' favorite bug. I remember playing with them in my childhood backyard, and now I've seen them keep my own kids entertained for hours," said Elan Lee, CEO and Co-Creator of Exploding Kittens. "We created the Kitten Games collection so all family members can genuinely enjoy playing together. Roly Poly Goalie does just that – offering a fun game for parents, while also allowing kids to engage with their favorite bug in a fun and active way."
