    submitted byHelloi - 7 years ago

Q: Does the game become repetitive - once you know the answer to a card - such as the tacocat palindrom ? Not sure where the gameplay actually occurs - getting rid of cards etc. Thanks for any info.

submitted by TrueReview - 4 years ago
  • A: You don't answer questions so there is no answer to a card. The game isn't repetitive because each person decides how to use the cards they have randomly been dealt.

    submitted byPamH - 4 years ago
  • A: We play this game several times each week and never know who is going to win. While we don't like to draw the exploding kitten card, we aren't as worried about it as the first few times we played.

Q: Why did someone want to call this game exploding kittens as a cat lover I find the name offensive.

submitted by mare62 - 5 years ago
  • A: Small kittens would explode upon the amount of offensiveness in today's society. Probably puppies and baby otters as well.

    submitted byGlasspinetree - 5 years ago

Q: Does the box meow at you when you open it?

submitted by Jason - 6 years ago
  • A: Exploding Kittens Original Edition does not meow when you open it, however the Party Pack plays party music when you open it! Feel free to email support@explodingkittens.com with any meow questions :)

    submitted byExploding Kittens Support - 4 years ago
  • A: No but it would be a cool feture

    submitted byAwesome - 6 years ago

    The characters and instructions on the cards are oddly gross, inappropriate, and simply an embarrassment. As a parent, I would never recommend this game for children of any age and as an adult, it’s not even worth the energy to unbox. Save yourself time and money by not purchasing.

    This is a fun, part strategy/ part luck game fun for everyone! The rules are very simple and easy to catch on, which I like since I don’t have the patience to read and learn complicated games! If you’re like me you’ll love this game too!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exploding Kittens: Original" is an exhilarating card game that's easy to learn and wildly entertaining. The game combines strategy, luck, and a delightful sense of humor to create an addictive experience. The premise is simple yet engaging: avoid the exploding kitten cards while strategically using other cards like defuse, skip, and attack to outmaneuver opponents. The art style by The Oatmeal adds a quirky charm to the gameplay, making each card a visual treat. The game's fast-paced nature keeps everyone engaged, making it an ideal choice for game nights or casual gatherings. Overall, "Exploding Kittens: Original" is a blast to play, offering a perfect balance of strategy and laughter that keeps players coming back for more.
