to your advantage! The ‘Draw from the Bottom’ CardĪnd finally, this Exploding Kittens expansion introduces the ‘Draw from the Bottom’ card.

However, playing three-of-a-kind allows you to name the card and steal it, so make sure you are aware of who has a defuse, and play your cat cards accordingly! The new cat card, ‘Feral Cat’ adds another cat to the deck, giving you more of an opportunity to tactically steal from other players. If you have two cat cards, you may play these as an action towards any player of your choice, but sadly with only two cat cards, that action is picking any card from their hand - but be cautious as with two-of-a-kind you cannot see what you are picking.

to be devious and steal from the other players around you. You can collect these throughout the game as two-of-a-kind or three-of-a-kind. There is also a new addition to the cat cards. However, any player to ask again will relieve the current player of their cone, and be forced to wear it themselves. To deter anyone from asking the same question, the cone features an arrow on it, so everybody else playing can see which direction the flow of the game runs. Now, thanks to this card game, you can force this player to wear a cone during game-play for shamefully not paying attention. If you are aware of the next card and are sure you don’t want to pick up, the ‘Reverse’ card is a great way to escape the trouble, and throw it onto the person next to you. Bringing back painful vindictive memory of tactically playing Uno, the Reverse card can be used to avoid the inevitable, as it works so you can skip your turn. Then there’s ‘Reverse’ cards which are extremely useful. Depending on whether you’re a good samaritan or not, you can use this card to not just save yourself, but to jeopardise your opponents, tactically forcing them out of the game by placing them at their demise of an ‘Exploding’ or ‘Imploding Kitten’. You essentially decide what you pick up next. The Imploding Kittens expansion also introduces the ‘Alter the Future’ card which lets you see the next three cards on the pick-up pile and change them. If you draw it from the deck you are completely out of the game.

Why? Because there is no escaping the Imploding Kitten! ‘Defuse’ cards won’t save you. Once found, the ‘Imploding Kitten’ goes back into the deck face-up, then alongside avoiding the Exploding Kittens, you have to do everything you can to not pick it up. If you thought your future was doomed after picking up an ‘Exploding Kitten’, wait until you come across the ‘Imploding Kitten’ card.
