submitted byAwesome - 4 years ago
Q: Does the game become repetitive - once you know the answer to a card - such as the tacocat palindrom ? Not sure where the gameplay actually occurs - getting rid of cards etc. Thanks for any info.
submitted by TrueReview - 2 years ago
A: You don't answer questions so there is no answer to a card. The game isn't repetitive because each person decides how to use the cards they have randomly been dealt.
submitted byPamH - 2 years agoA: We play this game several times each week and never know who is going to win. While we don't like to draw the exploding kitten card, we aren't as worried about it as the first few times we played.

Q: Why did someone want to call this game exploding kittens as a cat lover I find the name offensive.
submitted by mare62 - 3 years ago
A: Small kittens would explode upon the amount of offensiveness in today's society. Probably puppies and baby otters as well.
submitted byGlasspinetree - 3 years ago

It’s a great game for young, middle and old! A test round is house rules for us and it usually clicks after that for first timers. Love the art too.
Great game!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this game about a month ago to play with my 9 year old daughter. She enjoys it so much. It's easy to learn and the game doesnt last that long so we can play multiple rounds. She really enjoys the one on one attention when we play this game.
One of my all-time favorite games

this game is incredible, its really easy to pick up and play, it just takes a few minutes of reading or watching if you are new, but the extra rule of giving each player one diffuse card at the start, really makes them feel safe, and I like the addition of the cards having shortened descriptions written on the cards, but lengthened descriptions in the field guide, that way the only 2 you really need to explain at the beginning are the defuses and exploding kittens, and also turns I guess. Ive been taking this to school any time that I can, its a blast for anyone, anywhere! (as long as they can understand the rules)
You already know what you're getting

The only gripe that i have with this product is that the backs of the cards are pretty plain. I would've wished for a way to be able to play with all the extensions, while also using the backs with that more intricate design. To those looking for an alternative, you can buy sleeves, but then you don't really see the backs anymore.
Great starter pack to this serie

Really enjoyed this game for many months. The Imploding Kitten Expansion was a welcomed addition as it makes it even more challenging.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family and I are really big on card and board games. We love that time together and make lots of memories. And with this game, there are definitely memories to be had. This game is hilarious. The cards are very vibrantly detailed and the rules are pretty easy to follow. The packaging is great and I love the premise of the game. To sum it up, basically, just don't explode. We love looking at the pictures on the cards. Some pictures include a taco cat or even a guy on a dinosaur. Incredibly random and incredibly awesome. My daughter is 9 and loves playing with my husband and me. We laugh tons and can get very competitive. Definitely fun and a new family favorite. Definitely recommend
So fun!! But Are The Pictures for You?

This is such a fun game. I’ve heard it described as a Russian roulette style game and it is just that. You just never know when you might “explode”. There is laughter, there is suspense, and a lot of fun! We personally however, think some of the pictures on the cards are a little gross, and too much for our young kids. Every family is different and that’s great, they’re just not for our 5 and 7 year olds. They think some of them are nasty to look at, and honestly I can’t blame them haha, they are. Overall, we totally love the game and recommend it! Just know going into about the pictures and if it’s for your family/children or not!
Great game!
