Product Description
Exploding Kittens is a card game for people who are into kittens and explosions and laser beams and sometimes goats. In this highly-strategic, kitty-powered card game, players draw cards until someone draws an exploding kitten, at which point they explode, they are dead, and they are out of the game - unless that player has a defuse card, which can defuse the kitten using things like laser pointers, belly rubs, and catnip sandwiches. All of the other cards in the deck are used to move, mitigate, or avoid the exploding kittens. A perfect solution if you are looking to play family card games and kid card games. Add it to your collection of fun card games. Exploding Kittens is the most-funded game in the history of Kickstarter, and has paved the way for peace and tranquility in the modern world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Divertente, esilarante, rapido gioco di carte. Ottimo come passatempo per qualunque occasione. Fantastica idea da regalare
Style: Core Game: NSFW EditionVerified PurchaseQuesto gioco di carte è una mitica rivelazione.
Adatto da 2 a 5 giocatore, si basa su poche regole semplici, intuitive, che si imparano in 2 minuti (seriamente!). Il libretto di istruzioni è comunque dettagliato e illustra con semplici figure come procedere nelle fasi del gioco. E' quindi un gioco adatto a qualunque situazione, una serata con gli amici, in viaggio, anche da giocare in coppia. Ogni partita dura circa 15 minuti, e tipicamente nessuno si accontenta di un solo round!
Le illustrazioni irriverenti e le didascalie sono molto accattivanti, e rendono ancora più esilarante il procedere del gioco.
Consiglio questo gioco sia da tenere nella propria collezione di giochi di carte o in scatola, sia da regalare in qualunque occasione. Io ne ho regalate varie copie ad amici di diverse età, e tutti ne sono rimasti assolutamente soddisfatti.
Piccolo caveat: le qualità delle carte non è eccelsa, quindi consiglio di acquistare bustine protettive. Date le dimensioni 6.35cmx8.90cm, le bustine protettive per carte da gioco standard (tipo Magic) si adattano alla perfezione e sono reperibili facilmente online e in qualunque negozio di fumetti e giochi collezionabili a poco prezzo (tipicamente meno di 5 euro)
