Description

Play the most-funded game in Kickstarter history anywhere with the Exploding Kittens® Official mobile game! The mobile version of the game is available now, including the Party Pack, Betrayal, Streaking Kittens, and the all new Barking Kittens expansion! Play with friends or strangers in online play, challenge the AI, or play offline with friends face-to-face! In this highly-strategic, kitty-powered card game, players draw cards until someone draws an Exploding Kitten, at which point they are out of t​he game -- unless that player has 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. KEY FEATURES: - Exploding Kittens is a multiplayer card game for people who are into kittens and explosions and laser beams and sometimes goats. - Play with 2 to 5 players across multiple phones in the same room, or online with friends or strangers - Featuring original art by The Oatmeal - New cards exclusive to the digital version of Exploding Kittens - Digital versions of the hit expansions, including Streaking and Barking Kittens, as well as digital exclusive Betrayal and Party decks - The digital version of the most backed game in Kickstarter history Creat​ed by Elan Lee (Xbox, ARGs), Matthew Inman (The Oatmeal), and Shane Small (Xbox, Marvel). Exploding Kittens is a paid app in which optional game features may be purchased with real money. You must be at least 13 years old to download and play.

And playing alone is just the same thing over and over. The card game I find a wonderful better game. For two particular reasons, The first reason is the lack of cards. The game is missing two cards. The first is the nope card. I love this card and I think it was a main part of the original. With the nope they could have a super nope in one of the expansions that couldn’t be noped again. The second card is the cat cards. Cat cards use to have combos but now they all just steal a card. Now I don’t think a mobile game should have that complexity but maybe the cat cards should have maybe two actions and you can choose which one your cat card is doing. The second thing is the expansions. I think the Barking Kittens And Imploding Kittens expansions would be excellent for the digital game. Also I feel like the game is overall overpriced. I feel like each expansion should only be a dollar. I also think all avatar packs should be a dollar as the science vs religion is cool and all but I mean it’s a slight cosmetic difference. The single player needs improvement maybe more cats to fight that would do unique things like summon a exploding kitten. And custom decks. The last thing is just stuff that they would add like an avatar frame. The game should be updated more frequently.

If you can get your friends to play that will be cool, and now during quarantine a lot of people are playing playing the online version so plenty of games to play. DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME ALONE! You don’t need that frustration. The AI with this game is very tricky and the fact you have to win a certain amount to move to the next level...it’s nerve wracking. Before, I didn’t notice but playing a lot this week I picked up on some AI trickery. I know this sounds like a kid screaming “the game is cheating” but a few times I saw something that was very confusing or thought I was going crazy then I knew something was up when I had the ability to arrange 5 cards. I put the card I wanted first and placed the kitten next for the AI to pick up (2nd spot) and put another kitten in the fourth spot. So, first & third were cards I wanted. I pulled my card and got the one I wanted and that’s when the switch happened. The AI pulled a card and nothing happen and then I pulled a card and it was the exploding kitten....boom...game over. Total deception but why??? Glitch maybe? Fix it if so. Update: I did the 5 card switch again and the AI drew but didn’t get the exploding so I switched the top card for the bottom card and still got an exploding kitten and lost the game.

It only takes a few minutes to play a round, and while mostly luck of the draw, some strategy does keep you engaged. My favorite thing about this game is that it is straight forward with payment, unlike most games anymore. There are no ads! There are no coins, tokens, etc., to play, you can play all day with the core deck. If you choose to expand, you can pay an up charge for more cards. This is actually pretty clever as it gives you an opportunity to learn the game with some basic cards and then adds some extra options later. You can also pay for different avatars, but again, you don’t have to. When searching for a game, it sometimes asks if you would like to try one of the other decks for free. The only downside to this game is that it is limited to the players online at the time. Sometimes the lobby doesn’t fill up, or when you are playing, players quit. Also, you will be booted if your phone rings mid game. I would like to see the “Nope” card from the card game brought in. I recommend this game!

Such as the...When I saw this here I was ecstatic because I have the card game and I thought the rule would be the same. However, many of the cards are messed up. Such as the cat cards. In the physical game, you are supposed to get two and then you put down the two to get a random card. But instead, in the app, you need 1 card and it acts as a favor card in the physical meaning that you get a card they choose. When I first got an exploding kitten, I noticed something that made me a little sad. The exploding kitten cards in the physical game have these little drawings with references and jokes on them. But in the app its just a kitten with dynamite. Lastly the addition of nope cards aren’t here. These cards, if you had them, were pretty much god in a sense that if you put down one, you can reject an action such as if someone were attacking you they just take their turn and you have a normal turn. But because of the exclusion of these cards, we lost a layer of complexity. You see, nope cards can be noped as well, meaning that if someone puts down a nope card toward your action, you can just put a nope card yourself so that the action continues. These cards can make some funny moments in which it is just two players going back and forth just playing nope cards. But, these changes don’t completely ruin the game. You can still have fun with this modified deck. It is still a fun game to play.

Well, yes and no. I knew there would be a new deck, I haven’t bought it yet, it looks strange to play, but I’m a bit more peculiar of a player as I keep track of my ratio and play games out methodically and with grand experience. I won’t cover that. The reason I’ve always looked forward to an update is to fix the glitches. Games are bound to have glitches, but the game was left for over a year so they are pretty ancient glitches. The most annoying of which, is when I have tons of cards and a streaking kitten in my hand, and when I draw an exploding kitten, it completely rearranges my cards. I can’t play speedy in finale 1v1s or other situations often because I’m trying to fix my 15+ cards to be an arranged arsenal. Playing with the right speed and communication is part of the tact needed to achieve the victory. I don’t know if other glitches still exist, I could name a few, but they don’t pop out daily for me so I did not find them in testing. Also, the public lobbies are dead right now because of people not expecting or knowing the update. This needs to be better advertised. As somebody that plays exploding kittens daily, I want to start creating content for this game. It would be nice if the updates continue, and the game is given the glory it’s capable of holding. Streaking kittens has a complex dynamic that I’ve mastered due to it being possible. It takes both skill and luck, and luck isn’t so bad. Just look at poker, it’s the most popular card game in the world.

Countless times I’ve played the card that supposedly makes it so they don’t know which card they’re playing but they’ll always still play the card they need. But when the situation is reversed, you have to waste 3-5 cards to get to the Defuse card. Frustrating as H%#@ Other than that, the multiplayer version is a lot of fun. All the kids loved it. As well as us adults. Expansion packs are great. Would love a way to make a custom deck with cards selected from purchased decks. Or a couple ideas for special cards; a variant of the Steal a Card where the victim can protect 1-2 cards and the attacker gets to choose from the rest(Face down to him or her so they still don’t know what they’re getting). A fake Exploding Cat card that looks like the real ones but nobody knows which one is fake until picked up. When selected player puts back in deck like a normal Exploding Kitten and he or she can distinguish the fake one in the deck when getting to peek at the deck, until picked up by someone else. Very fun game. Keep the expansion decks coming as they add to the variety and make the game more re-playable.

The multiplayer feature where you can play with anonymous people is super fun and that’s where I enjoy the game most. It doesn’t take long to find matches and most games you will face 4-5 players which is when the game is most fun. The avatars are really creative and cute. I think the basic pack comes with some good icons. I’m taking off a star because the single player campaign is very much rigged, specifically the robot cat “boss” you unlock. There were several occasions where I would play specific cards to move the exploding kitten cards to the top of the deck so the bot could pick it up. However the bot would draw a regular card instead and it would give me the exploding kitten. On other occasions the bot would have an amazing starting hand to where I had little chance of even winning the game in the first place. Not sure how the bot algorithm works in single player but it is obvious the games are clearly rigged. I mostly enjoy the other features this game has to offer. Fix your single player mode and I’ll consider changing my review to a 5-star.

I played exploding kittens in real life and really enjoyed it and thought that the app would be a great way to play when I can’t bring the deck with me. The solo mode in this game is very good. The only improvement I would make to it would be to have harder modes because even the hardest bot is very easy to beat as well as to be able to change the number of bots you play against would be great. The biggest issue with the game is the multiplayer. The game requires you to get others to download the game, which would be fine if it was free, but not many people like to pay for apps and that makes it hard to play with anyone. The solution to this is simple and that would be to have a pass and play mode where you can set the number of players and maybe add a bot or two into the game. That way since I have it downloaded I can still play with my friends and they can play and think “wow, this is really fun” and maybe download it. I think that adding pass and play would make the game 10 times better and wouldn’t really cut down on sales. Over all a very good game, but it could use a couple of changes.

However, I do believe there is room for improvement. The game itself is really fun and addicting but I believe a lot of players would appreciate a progression aspect. For example levels, not even to win things but just to see how much time one has invested in the game. Another thing I would love to see would be a progress tracker, like a tab to see: how many games I have won, how many games I have lost, how many exploding kittens have I drawn, etc. One more thing that needs to be expanded on are Avatars. The avatars are lackluster and basic and while I understand avatars are a very small part I think they are crucial to a player’s identity in the game. All in all, if someone reads this deciding whether or not to buy it... BUY IT! It is totally worth it. While it’s really confusing the first few games once you begin to understand each card and how to utilize them, this game becomes very addicting.
