Exploding Kittens is a highly-strategic, kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette that is perfect for anyone who loves kittens, explosions, and laser beams (and sometimes goats). With illustrations by The Oatmeal, this family-friendly game is easy to learn and fun to play for 2–5 players (or up to 9 players when combined with any other deck).
Players draw cards until someone draws an Exploding Kitten, at which point they explode, they are dead, and they are out of the game – unless they have a Defuse card, which can defuse the kitten using things like laser pointers, belly rubs, and catnip sandwiches. All of the other cards in the deck are used to move, mitigate, or avoid the Exploding Kittens, adding a new level of strategy and excitement to each game.
