Exploding Kittens is a kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette. Players take turns drawing cards until someone draws an exploding kitten and loses the game. The deck is made up of cards that let you avoid exploding by peeking at cards before you draw, forcing your opponent to draw multiple cards, or shuffling the deck. The game gets more and more intense with each card you draw because fewer cards left in the deck means a greater chance of drawing the kitten and exploding in a fiery ball of feline hyperbole.

My BGG Comment
Bought this at Essen (2015). Not sure it is worth the 25 euros they took from me. No actually I am sure it is not worth that. It's a fun little card game but if I had been in my right mind at the moment I bought it I would have payed no more than 5 euros for it -.- Okay so the kittens explode, maybe that's worth it? I really don't understand the price. Pure rip-off.
