  • How to Play: Experience a rollercoaster of emotions in Mantis, where the only two rules are simple: Steal or Score. Collect matching sets of cards by swiping them from your opponents, only to have them steal back! This back-and-forth battle continues until someone comes out on top. It’s a game of strategy, luck, and plenty of laughs.
  • What’s Included: Mantis includes 105 beautifully illustrated cards featuring new, original mantis shrimp artwork that will delight both kids and adults. The game also comes with an easy-to-follow instruction manual (that you might just skim) to get you playing in no time.
  • Who's it For?: Designed for 2-6 players, ages 7 and up, Mantis is perfect for kids, teens, and adults. Whether you're looking for a quick game to play with the family or something to spice up your next gathering, Mantis delivers endless fun for players of all ages.
  • Where to Play: Mantis is a versatile game that’s perfect for family game nights, casual hangouts, or even a quick break at work. With its simple rules and engaging gameplay, it’s also great for travel, camping, or any time you need a dose of quick and fun competition.
  • Our Story: Brought to you by the creators of Exploding Kittens and illustrated by The Oatmeal, Mantis combines the simplicity of a classic matching game with the depth of Gin Rummy for a game that’s easy to learn but hard to master. Backed by a successful Kickstarter campaign, this game is another hit from the minds that brought you quirky, creative fun that’s now even part of the Netflix universe.

      I played this with friends and had to order is as soon as I got home! It’s a lot of fun and surprisingly addictive, with just the right amount of strategy and luck. It is easy to learn and play. The rules are simple, so even younger players can join in without any trouble. With quick rounds that only take about 10 minutes, it’s the perfect game to play a few times in a row or as a warm-up for a longer game night. It’s cutthroat in the best way, adding plenty of laughs and excitement to the table. I highly recommend Mantis for anyone looking for a fun, fast-paced game that works for all ages. It’s a great addition to your game collection! I bought it during Black Friday at $13 which was a steal.

      Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2024
      Verified Purchase
      This is a fun, easy game. My kids picked it up very easily, even my 6 year old. They enjoy playing it.
      The back of the cards gives you a peek at what the front might be so you can plan your move, steal from someone else's "tank" or try to score from your own "tank". It's a great way to teach your kids how to make smart decisions based on percentages (I have 2 out of those 3 colors, you have 1. Which is the better decision? Odd?) It's a very quick playing game, too quick in fact, for my family. We continue until the deck in exhausted instead of stopping when someone has scored 10. It's nice you can play easily with only 2 players or up to 6. We've only tried 3 or 4 so far though.
      Highly recommend. Enjoyable for kids and adults.

      I recently purchased several copies of the Exploding Kittens Mantis Matching Card Game to give as gifts, and it has been a hit with everyone! This game is truly great for all ages. We've enjoyed playing it with family members ranging from a 3-year-old to a 76-year-old, and everyone had a blast.

      One of the best features of this game is that there are no boards to set up. This makes it incredibly convenient. The games are quick and engaging, keeping everyone entertained without requiring a long time commitment.

      The game includes 105 cards and a comic, all featuring vibrant and whimsical artwork that adds to the overall fun and cutthroat nature of the gameplay. It's easy to learn, yet still offers enough strategy to keep things interesting for older players.

      If you're looking for a delightful, easy-to-play game that can be enjoyed by the whole family, I highly recommend the Exploding Kittens Mantis Matching Card Game. It’s perfect for quick rounds of fun and laughter, making it a great addition to any game night.

      I bought this game to as a gift for family that we could play over the holidays. It was definitely a hit with everyone. It's very quick to teach (great for playing with friends who have low tolerance for complex games) and each game is relatively short (~10-15 mins). There is a lot of player interaction, which I really appreciate. The game has a breakdown of 60% luck to 40% skill, which can make for a fun party game, since no one person can really dominate.

      Just opened the game when our family came for a visit. I'm disappointed and don't understand why the cute little book about mantis shrimp was not included (Why the Mantis Shrimp Is My New Favorite Animal). I was already familiar with the game, and I think it's a lot of fun and easy to play.
