It is an easy game to learn and play but it would be pretty boring just trying to avoid picking up an explosion card, the deck is also filled with other cards that can help you avoid, move, or even steal the exploding kittens, as well as cards that can mess with your opponents in various ways. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Well, it is, and it isn’t. Unless you have a defuse card that can save you from a purr-fect explosion. The goal of the game is to avoid drawing an exploding kitten card from the deck. It is a game that has kittens, goats, magical enchiladas, weaponised back hair and explosions!

We have played several games from Exploding Kittens and enjoy them, but we have never played the original card of the same name, until now.Įxploding Kittens highly strategic, kitty powered version of Russian Roulette in card form. Thankfully it is actually a card game, so no need to panic, and to put everybody’s mind at rest, no kittens, or any other animals, are injured whilst playing it (or making it, as far as I know). But when they shout out we want to play Exploding Kittens, should you be worried? It sounds dangerous, and let’s be fair, rather brutal, mean and messy, not a game for anybody to be playing, let alone kids. They never agree on what game to play and argue over everything. Asking the kids to pick a game off the shelves for family game night can be quite frustrating.
