Product Information

The rest of the cards are kept in a draw pile that is left facedown, with the backs of the cards providing the group with clues as to what is contained on the front. We found this variation to not be quite as exciting when compared to the normal rules, but sometimes you only have one other person around to play!

We’ve since launched the likes of Throw Throw Burrito, Poetry for Neanderthals, and more game-night-boosting goodness. It makes the game dead simple to teach other players, and it’s the kind of game that I could see my family actually playing with me (as opposed to the more overtly complex games that I love so much). I can see that being frustrating for some players I’ve gamed with in the past, but, more broadly, I think the game is sometimes just going to be luck of the draw, since you’re literally flipping cards hoping for a good result.In a two-player game, you can really successfully bully a player with multiple consecutive successful Steals (or Steals chained into a Score). Win duels by playing cards of matching or higher value to defend your hand or sacrifice your lowest card. If it matches any color card in their Tank, take all cards of that matching color (including the card you just flipped) and add them to your Tank ( not your Score Pile). And of course there’s a huge luck element in terms of what colours are going to be the target on your turn.

If it does, all those cards get flipped over to the rainbow side and placed underneath your collection. A guaranteed Steal is most useful when you can get a lot of cards away from a player in the lead, but even being able to take something isn’t too bad. This stand-alone game includes cards from Exploding Kittens, Imploding Kittens and the Exploding Kittens App and allows 2-10 players

Exploding Kittens is a kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette.Poetry for Neanderthals is a competitive word-guessing game where you can only give clues by speaking in single syllables. With the simplicity of UNO and the depth of Gin Rummy, it’s one of the card games for families that should be part of any collection. Second, if a player Steals successfully on their turn, they may take another turn immediately after. After writing for Kotaku UK, Waypoint and Official Xbox Magazine, Alex became a member of the Dicebreaker editorial family. No explicit player count preference, but I’m most likely to play this game at four or fewer players.
