Description
Exploding Kittens is a fun card game in which any turn can end with an explosion. Exploding kittens are hiding in the deck. Whoever draws one and can't defuse it is out. The last player left wins.
How to play Exploding Kittens
On your turn you play as many cards as you like, or none, and then draw a card from the deck. If it's an exploding kitten, you can defuse it with a Defuse card and secretly put it back anywhere in the deck – even right on top for the next player. Without a Defuse, you explode.
Other cards help you survive: See the Future lets you look at the top three cards, Skip ends your turn without drawing, and Attack forces the next player to take two turns. The Nope card cancels almost any action, and pairs of cat cards steal a card from another player.
