A fast-playing, kitten-themed card game where players draw cards trying to avoid pulling an Exploding Kitten; illustrated by The Oatmeal and one of the most-funded Kickstarter projects ever.
Pros
- One of the best-selling party/family card games ever, with 9M+ copies sold
- Quick to learn (about 5 minutes) and fast to play (roughly 15 minutes per round)
- Sturdy box and card quality with quirky Oatmeal-illustrated artwork
- Large expansion ecosystem (Imploding Kittens, etc.) for repeat play
Cons
- Outcome relies heavily on luck of the draw, especially early in a round
- Some players report the base rules are less intuitive than advertised
- Skews better for teens/adults than for younger kids despite the 7+ rating
