Exploding kitten

The mascot of "Exploding Kittens" is a delightful and chaotic feline character that embodies the zany, unpredictable nature of the game itself. This kitten is far from your average house cat. It has a mix of cuteness and mayhem, a blend of fluffy adorableness and explosive unpredictability. The mascot's personality is playful, mischievous, and a little bit devious, perfectly capturing the game's humor and whimsy.

How to play: Setup Remove Exploding Kittens and Defuse cards from the deck.

Shuffle the remaining deck.

Each player is dealt 7 cards.

Deal 1 Defuse card to each player.

Insert enough Exploding Kittens cards into the deck so that there is one fewer Exploding Kitten than there are players, and then shuffle the deck.

Put the remaining Defuse cards back into the deck.

Place the deck face down in the middle of the table. This is the draw pile.

Objective Avoid drawing an Exploding Kitten card. If you draw one, you must defuse it or be eliminated from the game. The last player remaining wins.

How to Play Take turns: On your turn, you can play as many cards as you like from your hand, or none at all.

End your turn: Draw a card from the draw pile and add it to your hand. If it’s an Exploding Kitten, you must defuse it or you’re out of the game.

Continue until there is one player remaining: This player is the winner!
