Exploding Kittens The Boardgame

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Give away powers, betray friends, or even flip the board – whatever it takes to win!

2-6 Players  |  20 Mins  |  Ages 7+

Features: Take That, Variable Player Powers

Theme: Animals, Comic Book / Strip, Humor, Party Game

Description:

In honour of our 10th Anniversary, introducing Exploding Kittens’ first board game.

The Story: This kitten wants a tummy rub but its mood can change at any second, players try to navigate their game pieces across the kitten without it getting angry and blowing them up!

Starts simple: First to the finish wins, while trying to avoid the Exploding Kittens spaces.

Quickly gets intense: Flip the board to play in “Heck No Mode!” adds explosions, traps, and changes every space on the board!

There's never been a board game like this before! Your goal is to make it to the end of the board without landing on the Exploding Kitten. To do that you'll play cards and plot strategies to sabotage your opponents. But don't get too cocky because one wrong move can cause the board to flip. This completely transforms the board to reveal a new path where every move could be your last. You have to think fast, form alliances, play smart, and avoid the Exploding Kittens at all costs.

The stakes are high but the rules are simple… Just beware, danger, and betrayal, and pee your pants laughing moments lurk around every corner.
