What to know about this Exploding Kittens Original Card Game
Each turn is a draw-and-survive gamble: players take a card and hope it is not an Exploding Kitten. A Defuse card can save a player who draws one, while action cards can change the turn order, skip a turn, or peek at the deck, so players can plan around the danger they know is coming.
The honest limit is elimination: once a player is knocked out, that player sits out the rest of the round. That keeps the final showdown tense for the players still in the game, but it can leave younger players waiting while the others play on to the finish.
Pros
- Fast 15-minute rounds
- Easy to learn, tense to play
- Compact single-deck game
Cons
- Elimination means knocked-out players sit out the rest of the round.
