Exploding Kittens: A Card Game by Elan Lee and Matthew Inman

Created by Elan Lee and Matthew Inman of The Oatmeal, Exploding Kittens has become a beloved party game worldwide. Players draw cards until someone draws an Exploding Kitten, which will knock them out of the game unless they can defuse it with whimsical items like laser pointers, kitten yoga, and catnip sandwiches. The deck is made up of cards that allow players to avoid drawing, mitigate damage, or affect other players’ actions, adding layers of strategy and unpredictability to each round.
