My 6year old picked it right up and love this game

My 6year old picked it right up and love this game. I saw several reviews complaining about the card quality and how easily they get damaged. I have worked in the casino industry for years and have seen all different qualities of cards. I was a pleasantly surprised to find the card quality was not bad at all. Not top of the line by any means but plastic coated. I found the cards to be about the same size as Pokemon and Magic cards. Being a bit of a nerd I had lots of extra sleeves for my daughter and I's card collections. I sleeved the exploding kittens deck. It should last much longer that way. I highly recommend this game it's fun. I will be buying expansions soon. ps You can pick up Penny sleeves at any hobby shop that sells magic or Pokemon cards. They are very inexpensive and we'll make your game last much longer.

Buying this awesome game for the 2nd time

I bought this the first time earlier this year ahead of the camping season, something new for our group's game night. It was a huge hit, especially with the kids, because what 6-year-old doesn't love exploding kittens? (At least conceptually.) It took a little bit of explaining and coaching to get the kids up to speed but after that they ruled the table like the merciless sociopaths kids are. They will throw you into the path of an exploding kitten card without thinking twice. Seriously though, this is a great game for kids and adults, and so it's fun for family game nights. Kids can play on the same level as adults and they love that. I ended up donating my original to the games pile at an AMC hut on our last group hiking trip (shout out Lonesome Lake). Now grabbing another ahead of the holidays because there are more gatherings ahead and I hate small talk. Now, instead of listening uncomfortably to Uncle Fred's latest MAGA rant, or worse, getting drunk enough to engage him in a conversation (shudder), I can bring on the exploding kittens.

Must-have expansion if you're a fan of the original!

I forgot that I pre-ordered this, so I squealed with glee when the mailwoman surprised me! My 9-year-old daughter, my boyfriend and I play Exploding Kittens way too often. It has never gotten boring on its own, but we could barely contain our excitement when opening this expansion pack. On the box, it only boasts three new actions in addition to an imploding kitten, but inside contains so much more! The new cards completely change the game, in the best way. You receive: o Alter the Future, where you can not only peek at, but switch the first three cards. o Reverse, where you reverse the order of play. o Draw from the Bottom, where you do exactly what it says. This is useful when you know someone is out to get you. o Target Attack, which is played like an attack, but you get to pick the player you wish to attack. o Feral cat, which is like a wild (haha!) card for cat cards! These definitely change the game. o Imploding kitten, which cannot be diffused! The addition of this card also allows for 6 players instead of the old maximum of 5. You also receive a human-sized Cone of Shame for the first person to forget which player's turn is next. My daughter is WAY more excited about this than I am. That's probably the point. You can choose to play with ANY OR ALL of the new expansion cards. Pick and choose your favourites! The only thing I feel must be noted is that several of the new action cards are for playing with 3 or more players. Choosing who to attack or reversing order, for example, wouldn't make a difference in a 2 player game. The artwork is hilarious, as expected from The Oatmeal. Overall, if you are a fan of Exploding Kittens, this expansion is pretty much a necessity, especially if you often play with a group.

Distinguishing card issue fixed

When I first got this expansion and read the reviews I was seeing some people complain that the expansion cards were differently sized and colored which got me a bit worried. Luckily however it looks like the issue has been fixed. The only difference is the side of the stack looks whiter than my well loved deck which has turned a slight parchment color over time. That however isn't the company's fault. But when mixed you would't be able to tell especially when looking down as you would when playing. People were definitely right about the large amount of packaging making this expansion about the size of a tall children's book. The actual cards add a delightful degree of strategy and variety to the main game. Can't wait to play and would say this expansion was well worth it. Now if only the bonus cards you get separately in other merchandise like the keychains weren't so distinguishing that'd be great. But that's another product entirely.

Loved, loved

Loved, loved, loved. I didn't know what to expect with this. I never really heard about this game before, but saw it as an alternative to Cards Against Humanity for my son. I bought it for my sone who is 16 and autistic. I wanted a card game that I can play with him or others that wasn't childish or rude. This game was so much fun! It's not rude, but it is funny. There is sarcastic humor, but not the crude kind even though the name would suggest something else. We played it with my 8 year old nephew and it was easy to learn. I found that glancing at the rules and then just diving in an checking the rules as you go was the best way to learn. It was easy to learn if you didn't study the instructions like a technical manual that you were going to be tested on. The cards also have the instructions on them, so getting the basics down was the only essential and the basics was that your turn finished when you drew a card from the pile. Great game for anyone 7 and up I think.

It's da bomb! But in an imploding way...

One might think, upon first inspection, that there is way too much packaging material for a mere 20 cards to expand one's Exploding Kittens core game. However, upon opening the box, one would discover that not only are there the expected 20 brand new cards, illustrated by the Oatmeal, but also a plastic divider and.... no drumroll, please (you'll scare the kitties)... a Human Cone of Shame! "What in the name of the Oatmeal's Holy Name would you do with a Human Cone of Shame?" one might ask. I'm glad one asked! One would have to wear it until the end of the game if one forgot it was their turn to play! The Imploding Kitten card is diabolical. When drawn, it must be put back in the deck, face up, and the next person to draw it is out of the game, period. No Defuse card may be played, and it cannot be noped. Suddenly, that Shuffle card you drew three rounds ago just became a lot more important, didn't it? The ability to reverse the order of play, a la Uno, also adds a new twist. As always, the cards are beautifully done. The game remains a pleasure to play, as I do often with my work friends during lunch. As long as Exploding Kittens keeps putting out new expansions, I plan to buy them.

Significantly improves the base game

I liked, but didn't love, Exploding Kittens. Especially true since I mostly play 2 or 3 player games, The Imploding Kitten from the first expansion helped, but this second expansion has completely transformed the game into a MUST PLAY for us. Being able to safely hold a kitten while also throwing another in the deck, it adds to the tension and fun so much. The added actions also offer much more variety and speed games up. Get this, seriously.

This game is fun!

Pros: Easy to learn basic game play even for smaller kids; the cards are unique and funny; it is different in that you don't necessarily have to wait your turn to play (nope cards are fun!) Cons: You absolutely need to buy the 10 player party pack. I don't know why they even make the basic pack because it is not enough cards for even 4 players. Not sure which column this goes in: for the more competitive game player, the game does offer a good deal of strategy on how and when you play your cards. If you like hearts or spades this would fall in that category.

Sense of Humor Essential!

I got this for my teenage daughter, and it was both well-received and well-played! This is a quirky, funny and flexible game that beats the hell out of any electronic caca you might be considering as a gift. This little card game provides actual interaction in a light and funny way, plus allows - indeed encourages- a high amount of silly randomness in the way its played. Very fun, and fine for two to four people. If you want a version for a bigger group, then I'd recommend getting the Imploding Kittens (as well? I don't know if it's a stand-alone version, but I think it might be). Don't worry: no actual kittens were harmed in the making of this game. Several did barf rainbows, however.
