## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Best family Christmas gift: fast, hilarious, and way better than a 5-hour Monopoly game - I originally bought this as a Christmas gift for my sister, and it ended up being absolutely amazing to play with the whole family during the holidays. It was such a hit that we eventually ended up buying several of the add-on expansions, and years later, someone actually gifted the NSFW version back to me! What makes this game so brilliant is how quick and easy it is. You can teach a complete beginner how to play in about two minutes flat. It’s perfect when you just want a quick, fun game night with friends. It completely avoids the dreaded "Monopoly problem" where you need a whole day to play and everyone just ends up giving up halfway through. Rounds of this rarely last more than 15 minutes, so you can easily play three or four games in an evening. It’s a mix of hot-potato and Russian roulette, where you’re constantly trying to pass the danger off to someone else. The "Nope" cards are easily the best part, leading to some hilarious arguments and last-second saves. Because it relies pretty heavily on the luck of the draw, hardcore strategy fans might find it a bit light, but as a fast-paced, chaotic party game, it is absolute gold.
Review: The casual card game for a new generation - At the time of writing this there are mountains of reviews (rightly) praising Exploding Kittens for its accessibility, production values, presentation and general excellence. There aren't really any reviews explaining what exactly a 'Russian Roulette' card game actually entails, so as endlessly charming as the game is (and it really is), I thought I'd explain how the game works and why it is an excellent game in its own right. The mechanics are pretty simple. Each turn you will (generally) have a number of cards in your hand that allow you to do a number of different things (more on those in a second). You END your turn by drawing a card. If you draw an Exploding Kitten card, you are out of the game and the card is removed from the deck. Hence the 'Russian Roulette' element. In every game there will be one less Exploding Kitten card in the deck than there are players, so in the end one person will win when everyone else has drawn an Exploding Kitten card. The game is spiced up by all of the other cards in the deck. It is worth mentioning to begin with that everyone starts with one Defuse card, and others can be drawn from the deck during the game. Defuse cards are the only cards that can save you from an Exploding Kitten. If you draw an Exploding Kitten and have a Defuse card, you can play it and place the Exploding Kitten card back in the deck wherever you want, in sight of the other players or not (in case it's not obvious, that element adds a really devious strategical element to the game). All of the other cards can be played prior to you drawing your card and ending your turn, and generally in some way reduce your chances of drawing a card. For example, the See The Future card allows you to look at the top three cards of the deck before you draw a card, the Skip card skips your turn entirely, and the Shuffle card does what it says on the turn and allows you to shuffle the deck before drawing a card. There are also cards with art on them that have no actions, and you can collect these and play them in sets to allow you to take cards from other players. The action cards are perfectly balanced and designed to add strategical and (to some degree) bluff elements to what is essentially a game of luck. There is no getting away from the fact that luck plays a heavy part in this game, but actually the playing of the actions cards and subtle attempts at deceiving the other players make this game feel far more strategic than it actually is, which is a good thing. Ultimately every game will include some element of trying to mislead other players and trap them into drawing an Exploding Kitten card, and that is part of what gives the game its high replay value. Games are quick, normally taking no more than 15 to 20 minutes, and much like other casual card games like UNO, there is normally a strong desire to 'to just play one more time' before finishing or moving on to something else. I was an initial Kickstarter backer for the game, and have played it as part of game nights as well as with various combinations with my family in more casual settings, and everyone has taken to the game well and wanted to play a few games in a sitting rather than one. When I was younger I remember playing UNO and various traditional card based games with my family either on family holidays, after meals, or at family gatherings and such. For me Exploding Kittens is that sort of game for a new generation, a game that is most certainly casual and can be won by anyone due to the luck element, but that contains enough charm, strategy, and that all important 'just one more game' factor to make it a stable for any family or group. As such I would heartily recommend it; in my view this game is a genuine classic that deserves to be as highly owned as the likes of UNO. On one final point as to whether this is suitable for children or not, given that the game inherently involves explosions and kittens there are some morbid elements that parents may think are unsuitable for very young children, but actually the game is presented in a very comedic way, and I would have thought that the game would be suitable for any children that are old enough to understand the rules. The box says it's suitable for 7 and up, which feels about right to me. I do reiterate that this is a review of the standard deck though; the NSFW (Not Safe For Work) deck contains explicit cards with very mature themes, and is most certainly not suitable for children. If you take my recommendation and buy one of these to play in a family, make sure you buy the right one if you're playing with children!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great game
*by M***S on 5 January 2016*

I bought this for the family to play over Christmas. We enjoyed it so much, we played it five times in a row on the first outing! After getting used to the functions of the different cards, it’s a very easy game to play. It’s based on luck and tactics, and ultimately, you are trying to avoid being blown up by an exploding kitten. Each player starts with 5 cards, including a ‘defuse’ card. This protects you from an exploding kitten, but alas, you only have one! Once the cards have been dealt, the remainder are put in a deck, face down. Each player then plays a card from their hand or ends their turn by picking up a card from the deck. But watch out! It could be an exploding kitten. The way, then, to try to avoid being blown up is to play your other cards tactically. For example, if you have a ‘see the future’ card, you can see the top three cards in the deck. If there is an exploding kitten card, you can pick it up and defuse it (but then you’ve used up your defuse card), or if you have a ‘skip’ card, you can skip your turn and get the next player blown up. There are also other cards such as ‘nope’, where you can stop a player at any time during the game doing a particular action or an ‘attack’ card, where they have to take two turns. It does take some time to understand how to play, but once you’ve mastered the rules (which really aren’t that hard, it’s just getting to know the function of each card and how best to play them), you’ll have a lot of fun. The cards are also colourful and funny, and the illustrations and witty comments on each card are great to look at and read.
