Exploding Kittens is essentially a Russian Roulette injected with a cute feline twist. It is an outlandish, hilarious, and silly game that will definitely make you laugh out loud. And if kitties, explosions, and goat butts are your thing, then this game is the one for you. Like what you see? The kitten is happy and the player stays in the game. If they fail to defuse the kitten, the kitten gets super mad and explodes. That player is then out of the game.

This game takes the card actions of uno and combines it with the building tension of Russian Roulette. This game doesn’t really have a story so I will make one:

1000 years ago an evil wizard terrorized the land with his demonic cat army. The mightiest kings and queens fought the evil wizard, and managed to defeat his cat army, but not before he sent some cats into an alternate dimension for some reason. Fast forward to present day. Many of them returned and became enticed by modern pop culture and began developing unusual lifestyles. A select few of these cats became critically unstable and will explode when they come into contact with humans. You and the fellow players are currently locked in a room in the old wizard’s castle (why did you go in there?) with a pile of cats and can only leave when the last explosive cat has been detonated. Time to start investigating the cats!

Like I said earlier, this game is a combo of Uno and Russian Roullette. You lose when you draw an exploding kitten and cannot defuse it. Each player starts with a hand of cards that includes 1 defuse. You may play cards but then you need to draw 1 card. After you defuse an exploding kitten, you are able to put that exploding cat back into the draw pile, secretly, in any order you like. Other cards shuffle the deck, make a player take 2 turns, negate another players action, skip your turn, see the next 3 cards, or take 1 card from another player. The other cat cards can combine to select a card of your choice from the discard, or to steal from an opponent.

I played this game with 2 decks and 10 players and it was fun-ish. I didn’t like the elimination part at all. Games are quick, but the first person out had to wait 15-20mins for the next game. It is very random since the cards you start with vary, and the draw deck is random. The tension does build the more you draw, and after someone defuses a cat. The art is fun, but the jokes get old. It is a very ridiculous game that is okay for big groups, and it fits easily into your pocket. However, with little strategy, lots of spite, and the elimination element it lacks a lot of replayability for my group.
Pros:
Easy to learn
Fits in your pocket
Quick
Silly
Appealing art
