This review is from: Imploding Kittens: This is the First Expansion of Exploding Kittens (Toy)
I forgot that I pre-ordered this, so I squealed with glee when the mailwoman surprised me! My 9-year-old daughter, my boyfriend and I play Exploding Kittens way too often. It has never gotten boring on its own, but we could barely contain our excitement when opening this expansion pack. On the box, it only boasts three new actions in addition to an imploding kitten, but inside contains so much more! The new cards completely change the game, in the best way.
You receive: o Alter the Future, where you can not only peek at, but switch the first three cards. o Reverse, where you reverse the order of play. o Draw from the Bottom, where you do exactly what it says. This is useful when you know someone is out to get you. o Target Attack, which is played like an attack, but you get to pick the player you wish to attack. o Feral cat, which is like a wild (haha!) card for cat cards! These definitely change the game. o Imploding kitten, which cannot be diffused! The addition of this card also allows for 6 players instead of the old maximum of 5. You also receive a human-sized Cone of Shame for the first person to forget which player's turn is next. My daughter is WAY more excited about this than I am. That's probably the point. You can choose to play with ANY OR ALL of the new expansion cards. Pick and choose your favourites! The only thing I feel must be noted is that several of the new action cards are for playing with 3 or more players. Choosing who to attack or reversing order, for example, wouldn't make a difference in a 2 player game. The artwork is hilarious, as expected from The Oatmeal. Overall, if you are a fan of Exploding Kittens, this expansion is pretty much a necessity, especially if you often play with a group. |
