Exploding Kittens is a fast-paced, highly strategic card game where players draw cards until someone picks an Exploding Kitten and loses the game. The objective is to avoid exploding by defusing kittens or using special action cards to thwart opponents.
Gameplay
- Set Up: Shuffle the deck and deal 7 cards to each player. Place the remaining cards face down in the center.
- Turns: On your turn, either play action cards from your hand or draw a card from the deck. Playing cards can help you manipulate the deck, attack other players, or skip your turn.
- Exploding Kitten: If you draw an Exploding Kitten, you’re out unless you have a Defuse card to neutralize it. Then, reinsert the Exploding Kitten back into the deck.
Strategies
- Use Your Actions Wisely: Timing your action cards can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Save powerful cards for crucial moments.
- Keep Track of Defuse Cards: Knowing how many Defuse cards are in play helps you gauge your risk when drawing.
- Read Opponents: Pay attention to opponents’ behavior and the cards they play. Bluffing and reading bluffs are key components.
