Exploding Kittens is a highly strategic, kitty-powered version of
Russian Roulette. Basically, if you draw an Exploding Kitten, you lose
and you are full of loser sad-sauce. All the other cards in the deck
help you avoid or mitigate your risk of drawing an Exploding Kitten.
If you don't explode, YOU WIN!
Skip all the talking and just Play:
How to Play:
The Set Up
1 Defuse card and 4 other cards will be dealt to each player so
that everyone has a hand of 5 cards total. Keep your hand secret.
The amount of exploding kittens corresponds to the amount of
players minus 1. For example, for a 4 player game, 3 Kittens will
be inserted, for a 3 player game,2 Kittens will be inserted.
The extra defuse cards and corresponding amount of exploding
kittens will be shuffled with the rest of the deck and place face
down. This is the Draw Pile.
Player one will go first!
Taking your Turn
Play a card or play a Pair from your hand by following the
instructions on the card and clicking on it. Or play no cards at
all; that’s cool too.
After the special attribute of the card is revealed, you can play
more cards. You can play as many cards as you’d like.
Finally, end your turn by drawing a card from the top of the Draw
Pile into your hand by clicking the "draw" button and hoping it’s
not an Exploding Kitten. (This is different from most other games
in that you END YOUR TURN by drawing a card.)
Three More Things
The count of the cards left in the draw pile is displayed on
top of the drawpile.
There is no maximum or minimum hand size. If you run out of
cards in your hand, there’s no special action to take. Keep
playing. You’ll draw at least 1 more card on your next turn.
The computer have no logic hence click on "draw" and the
computer will draw a card to end its turn.
