Before anything else: There are no kittens harmed during the making of this game.
This NSFW pack works just like the regular Exploding Kittens game! However, some of the cards contain graphic imagery (such as a certain religious figure giving you the finger, a bunch of kittens taking your heart, a trumpet up your ass, and a plethora of curse words) that you definitely don’t want children (or even your parents) to see!
How do I Play Exploding Kittens?
First, set up the cards. Remove all Exploding Kitten and Defuse cards from the deck so you can shuffle the remaining cards. Afterward, deal four cards to each player facing down. From there, you deal with each player one Defuse card. Thus, every player in the game has five cards with them – four random cards and one Defuse card.
You will have to put back enough Exploding Kittens into the game so that you have one fewer than the number of people playing. This is to ensure that someone can win.
Put in the additional Defuse card into the deck. Shuffle the remaining deck once more, then place it face down in the middle of the platform where everyone is playing. The deck becomes your draw pipe, and everyone will have to take a card from there at some point.
The group will pick someone to go first — you can throw in a fun criterion like who has the most colorful shirt, the fullest beard, the tallest person, etc. It’s all about fun! Once the first person draws, it’s game on! Everyone will have to draw the cards until they pick an Exploding Kitten.
Alright, I know how to play… How do I win?
The last one standing wins!
