Exploding Kittens: Party Pack

This is a great family game! I was searching for a card game that was small and compact yet contained all the fun, engaging elements a classic party activity should have. I came across Exploding Kittens on Amazon and I have to say, I didn’t hear about the hype but I understand it now. This game is for mixed ages and doesn’t draw away from the classic competitive, strategic entity yet delivers a round of laughs and jokes. The game really gets you thinking in order to plan your moves ahead, and is full of laughter and surprises. The visuals of the game are stunning. The party pack came in a beautiful box (which I don’t want to explain to much as it will spoil the amazing contents) and was delivered with care. The animations and graphics on the game cards really stand out from there opponents, as I haven’t see anything like this. The game is tricky to understand at first. Undertaking not only the rules and what cards to use but how each card works and playing methodically. Exploding Kittens definitely emphasises the 'more the merrier’ prophecy. It takes a roughly two rounds to get a grasp of how the game works, but do watch the YouTube videos by Matthew Inman (I believe) who describes it all effortlessly. Definitely try this out but do avoid getting exploded!

An excellent game for the family, easy to learn and play and the box is compact which is good for storage space.

This has now been updated to 5*s as I have just confirmed with the team at the Oatmeal that the new cards are indeed compatible with the party pack. The recent release of the Party pack standardised the backs of all the cards to be the same as the original and the expansion packs! I will be purchasing the Streaking kittens pack shortly! ** UPDATED ** First of all, I have enjoyed the comics from the Oatmeal for years before exploding kittens came out. When this was first publicized and released, I had the chance to play this with friends in the first edition of the pack. Over time, they got more and more expansion packs. These were just as fun. The comics on these cards are well thought out and hilariously in the style of all of the oatmeals comics. If you enjoy crude humour, memes, etc, then you will enjoy the artistic masterpiece that are the illustrations on these. The game is simple to play as per all other reviews and this comes with some of the cards from one of the expansion packs. The pack contains some of the cards from Imploding kittens expansion 1 - except for the actual imploding kittens card itself. This is not a problem as most of them are in there! This is a great set of someone just starting out. We got this to play with a larger group of players and we really enjoyed our time on this.

So fun to play. Highly recommend party edition as it allows more people if required and game could be extended by using more cards than instruction suggests.

I bought this on offer for our after xmas dinner game. Whereas its fun I am glad I didn't pay the full price! Only negative I have is the kitty speaker has never worked and just makes a static sounds when you open the box. Couldn't return as didn't open until Xmas and needed it that day, so opened and used the card packs. The game itself is a quick to play time killer which once the family understood they will be victimised and targeted for explosion, a lot of fun. So even when you are out the game it is only a short wait until the next round (avoiding a repeat of Monopoly '21). Fun drawings and thoughtful artwork. If the expansion packs go on offer I may be tempted.

If you are a big fan of the original Exploding kittens game and if you wanted to play this game with more than 5 players (the original game caps the maximum amount of players to 5) then get this game! It comes in the same shaped box as the original game but with a famous Mexican themed party music every time you opened the box. The logic of the party pack is that it has a larger number of cards (for a larger party) but also comes with cards with slightly different actions than the normal game. For instance, the 'attack' card now stacks up and there are newer cards like 'alter the future' and 'draw from the bottom' which can put an interesting twist on the gameplay with larger number of people. Should you buy it? It Depends. Do you want to share and play this game with 5 players and more? If so, I'd definitely recommend this game as it has more cards than the original. If you're starting out to learn this game and get a few other players to play it on a regular basis then the original edition would suffice.

Great value, arrived very quickly

Absolutely love the Exploding Kittens Party Pack! It’s such a fun game to play when family and friends come over. The fact that it can handle up to 10 players is brilliant for bigger gatherings. The rules are simple and easy to follow, there aren’t too many complicated twists that confuse you, so even kids can pick it up quickly. It’s fast, funny, and keeps everyone engaged without anyone feeling lost. Perfect for a lighthearted, hilarious game night with family or friends.

Gioco facile e divertente, svolta una serata fra amici in un attimo. Lo conoscevo già in versione base ed espansioni, ho preferito la versione classica ma da party per ampliare il gruppo di gioco.

Ich habe schon viele Partyspiele ausprobiert, aber Exploding Kittens Party Pack hat es wirklich in sich! Als großer Fan von schnellen, lustigen und chaotischen Kartenspielen wollte ich etwas, das sowohl mit Freunden als auch mit der Familie funktioniert – und genau das bietet dieses Spiel! 📦 Verpackung & Lieferumfang Das Spiel kommt in einer stabilen Box, die sich leicht verstauen lässt. Enthalten sind 122 Karten, eine übersichtliche Anleitung und sogar eine Spielmatte, die bei größeren Runden das Chaos im Griff hält. Die Karten sind hochwertig, fühlen sich gut in der Hand an und haben eine matte Beschichtung, die sie langlebig macht. 🎮 Spielprinzip – Einfach, aber genial! Jeder Spieler zieht eine Karte vom Stapel – doch wehe, es ist ein Exploding Kitten! 💥 Es gibt verschiedene Aktionskarten, mit denen man Angriffe abwehren, Karten tauschen oder Explosionen entschärfen kann. Das Ziel ist es, nicht zu explodieren – und die anderen Spieler gezielt ins Verderben zu schicken. 😈 Die Regeln sind innerhalb von 5 Minuten erklärt, sodass es sich perfekt für spontane Spieleabende eignet. Auch Kinder (ab 7 Jahren) verstehen das Konzept schnell. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Spieleranzahl & Wiederspielwert Das Party Pack kann mit bis zu 10 Spielern gespielt werden – ideal für große Gruppen! In kleiner Runde (2-3 Spieler) fühlt es sich strategischer an, während es mit 6+ Spielern zum witzigen Chaos ausartet. Dadurch hat das Spiel einen extrem hohen Wiederspielwert, denn jede Partie verläuft anders. 😂 Der Humor – Schräge Katzen & absurde Aktionen! Die Karten sind mit den typisch verrückten Exploding Kittens-Illustrationen gestaltet – von einer Katze, die in einem Burrito schläft, bis zu einem Laser-Tag-spielenden Kätzchen. Wer schwarzen Humor und absurde Situationen liebt, wird hier nicht enttäuscht! 🎉 Warum dieses Spiel ein Must-Have ist: ✅ Perfekt für jede Gruppe – Egal ob Familie, Freunde oder Party-Runde. ✅ Schneller Einstieg – Keine komplizierten Regeln, einfach loslegen! ✅ Hochwertige Karten – Dickes Material, langlebig und gut bedruckt. ✅ Extrem lustig – Es entstehen chaotische und unerwartete Momente! ✅ Kurze Runden – Perfekt für zwischendurch oder als Hauptspiel am Spieleabend. ❌ Gibt es Nachteile? 🔹 Wer extrem strategische Kartenspiele à la Schach mit Karten sucht, wird hier nicht fündig – Exploding Kittens lebt von Zufall, Bluffen und Timing. 🔹 In sehr kleinen Runden (2-3 Spieler) kann es etwas weniger aufregend sein als mit einer großen Gruppe. 🔚 Fazit Das Exploding Kittens Party Pack ist eines der besten Partyspiele, das ich je gespielt habe! Es bringt jedes Mal Lacher, Spannung und eine ordentliche Portion Schadenfreude mit sich. Egal ob mit der Familie oder Freunden – dieses Spiel sorgt für unvergessliche Momente. Absolute Kaufempfehlung! 🎉🐱💣
