A quick, easy, and fun game. More of a social game, so you can play with your friends who don’t care for boards games.

Fun game that takes ~15min.
Exploding Kittens knocks another one of the park. We have "Really Loud Librarians", a couple versions of the Taco-Cat-Goat-Cheese-Pizza, Cards against humanity (regular & family edition), and a few others. This one is fun, but the 6 y/o couldn't catch on and got frustrated. Once we stopped policing her "to standard", she got into it and wound up having a blast.10 & older loved it from the jump!

A lot of fun to play with friends, we laughed so much. Four of us played together which worked really well for us. Think it would be a great game to play with kids as well.

Great fun for a range of ages. Definitely helped having a couple of drinks before hand to loosen everyone up a little but it was a blast and everyone had a great time with this one. Great pacing and good quality yet quite novel with the inflatable club adding in some extra laughs - though once we got serious we forgot about it half the time and just stormed on! Great value for money and great set to start off.

Lo utilizo en clase para finalizar algunos días y los alumnos lo pasan genial. No puedo evitar reírme yo también cuando los veo explicarse, y también mejoran su agilidad mental.
