[QUOTE="Mozeart, post: 6696087, member: 6789269"] [b]5 out of 5 rating for Exploding Kittens[/b] As of this writing Exploding Kittens, the game created by Elan Lee, has finished it’s record Kickstarter campaign with a massive $8,782,571 sum from over 200,000 backers and is available for purchase from E-tailers such as Amazon! As one of those lucky backers I’d like to pass along my experience playing the game.</span First; I’ve played through both the NSFW and regular decks. They’re very similar and the game’s simplicity (perhaps it’s main selling point) remains intact through both. They can be combined and, if you have more than 5 players, it can be necessary. In all cases you have wacky sight gags (mostly involving cats) and a whole lot of gross (but humorous) humor. The decks aren’t spectacularly thick and, because of this, play can take place in as little as 15 minutes. Get a group of friends together and go crazy. The laughter during our playthrough actually brought play to a halt on a number of occasions! After learning what few rules there are play becomes nearly visceral and increasingly quick allowing for more games in a short time. Don’t come into this with the same mindset you use to win a game of Magic: the Gathering or even Fluxx; you’ll be sorely disappointed. For a fun game to play with friends, family, even the kids (non NSFW deck please) whip this thing out for 15 minutes or so but, for anything else, grab a game with a little more grit (virtually any other game).</span As far as pure fun goes Exploding Kittens gets at least a 9/10. If it's just you and the guys (or girls) feel free to play through the NSFW deck but be warned; it gets really blue in ways that I don't think ENWorld wants me to describe here.
