Exploding Kittens

This game is FUN. If you are a fan of the artist's blog, you'll enjoy it that much more, but knowing previous work is unnecessary. The game is fun, and at first reading sounds very complicated, but it is in fact simple and quick. And a lot of laughs. Don't be afraid of the cards or illustrations... They are quirky and strange (like the blog :-) but not offensive. Okay, the TEENSIEST bit rude, yes. But funny. Wildly creative. This game allows 2-5 people to play. If you may have a larger group, do buy a second set of cards. It is money well invested. The game is like russian roulette. Each person draws a card. At any time you may draw an exploding kitten, and if you do, you die for the remainder of the hand. But, of course, there is more involved than that!! For the first round, keep the directions handy. You'll need them. For subsequent rounds you will probably not need them much at all. To begin play, everyone is dealt a hand of four cards (look at them but show no one) and one defuse card. The defuse card is your lifeline. Hide it within your hand. (Once you draw an exploding kitten card, you are dead for the hand. UNLESS you can play a defuse card.) You can play any card you have available... Some cards allow you to draw a card from another player's hand, some allow you to peek at what's coming in the draw pile, or to skip your turn, or make the next player draw twice... You CAN play anything, but don't NEED to play anything. Once you are finished playing, or if you've decided not to play anything, draw a card (and hope it isn't an exploding kitten. If it is, play your defuse) If you run out of cards, that's okay. Draw when it's your turn. If you accumulate so many cards they are difficult to hold, that's okay, too. (And better for saving your life!) Keep drawing at your turn. You are not penalized for cards you hold or play. The only goal is to survive drawing the exploding kittens within the deck, or to cause others to draw them. (there is an exploding kitten card in the deck for all but one player. One player survives the hand) Making any sense?? Order the cards, play a hand... It will all be made clear. It is a fast and silly game, very fun. Particularly with people who will enjoy the strange quirky weirdness of the illustrations. Choose your friends well. If you are still on the fence, just do it! What are a few exploded kittens between friends?

This game is so goofy and fun! Easy to learn with clear instructions. The box is small so it travels well. It’s a great strategy game and is suitable for a lot of ages (+7 but my friends in their mid 20’s loved it too)

This game is so fun! We played it for the first time today with our two kiddos, ages 8 and 10. It was very easy to learn and each game is very quick. By the second game everyone had a pretty good grasp of it. Our kids loved it, and of course they were quickly attacking each other with their cards once they figured out how! They are already wanting to play again tomorrow. Our family has a ton of games and we love to play them often. I can already tell that this one will be one of our favorites for years to come!

Such a fun game that my family enjoyed playing! And the artwork on the cards is hilarious! A wholesome fun game.

Such a fun game, great version of original game. Our family had fun playing all the recipes and both my kids created their own. Very creative!

Got this as a gift and ended up loving the game my self . Its so much fun and easy to learn especially if your not one for playing card games such as myself.

The production value of this game is excellent. The cards feel thick, durable, and have a nice finish to them—they don't feel like they will wear out easily. As for the gameplay, it's fine. It’s a light, easy-to-learn party game. It didn't blow me away, but it works well enough as a quick filler or icebreaker.

元のバージョンを買う必要がありましたが このオプションで更にゲームが楽しくなったようです

こねこばくはつの拡張キット第2弾です。 日本未発売の為、英語版しかないものの、有志の方がnoteで各カードの日本語解説をされてますので日本語版と合わせて使うことも可能です。 前作こねこばくしゅくは、英語版を購入しても探せば日本語版ルールブックを入手できる為、比較的とっつきやすいのですが、こちらは上記の通り、有志の方による翻訳のみであることに加え、内容物のルール処理がめんどくさいので、小さなお子さんとのプレイには向かないかもしれません。カードゲーム好きな大人たちでプレイする時にはニュアンスで理解はできると思います。 枚数が今回も増える為、プレイ人数の上限を上げれると良かったのかもしれません。 注意点としては、背面のデザインが日本語版と異なるので日米混ぜて使用する際は、必ず背面が隠せるスリーブを使う必要があります。

Exploding kittens is a family favourite, enjoyed every game night and holiday trip. As with every game, the more you play it, the more familiar you get to the strategies and play styles. What better way to level the playing field than with new cards, actions and advantages? Barking kittens delivers this in style - and by style I mean the glamourous new hat a lucky player gets to wear! The kids loved the new ways they can screw dad over and avoid the exploding kittens! The box is bigger than the base pack, because of the hat, but that means it is able to hold the original set plus additional expansion sets easily. woof, meiow, boom!

Good addon for the base game, aids gameplay when in larger groups

Se trata de un juego de cartas divertido y dinámico. Hará las delicias de los usuarios más avanzados en juegos de mesa, y sin duda, será un gran comienzo para aquellos principiantes que quieran inciarse. Los materiales son de buena calidad (aunque sólo incluye el set de cartas. Suficientes para jugar hasta 5 jugadores). Los dibujos son divertidísimos. Merece mucho la pena. Además si compras 2 se amplía el número de jugadores a 9. Es un juego que se aprende en 2 minutos y se juega una partida en 15 o menos. Al final, no sabrás a quien querer o a quien traicionar. Diversión asegurada. Muy recomendable si te gustan juegos como el uno, Muntchking y toda su franquicia, o Cheez Geek. Nunca los gatitos fueron tan divertidos. No en vano es el juego y el proyecto más apoyado en kickstarter (8 millones de dólares cuando pedían 10.000). Si quieren jugar con niños, será mejor que compren la versión roja que no es para adultos. Yo ya me lo estoy pensando para poder jugar hasta 9!! aunque hay que reconocer que es un pelín caro para el material que trae la caja.
