Discussion Curse you imbalance when combined with rage mode (and other expansions)

Upvotes

For larger groups and when combined with other expansions, its not balanced (except zombie kittens which i think it synergies well).

The problem we have is when a player gets a curse, and specifically excess curse or shrinking curse, the other players would target them so they can hoard a lot of cards.

For charms, it kind of works the opposite, people would try to get that charm for themselves so a charmed player get additional advantage.

With all the targeted attacks and other attack cards, curse of the cat butt, all the stealing and discarding specially the rage mode, someone with shrinking curse or excess curse is as good as dead, with no consequences for the other players that target a weak player.

I think a house rule could help like graveyard that players can move a curse from there, or that curses and charms move to next player or randomly.

Which of these would u guys get to add the most fun to the game (original ideas in cards stuff like that).
I already have zombie kittens, recipes for disaster, and streaking kittens.
If you have other recommendations please let me know.
(Rage mode costs 19.99 pounds; has the un-nopeable nope)
(The aggro and creppy kittens expansions are still new, so might be a bit hard to get but i can wait)

Question Barking Kittens and Tower of Power

Upvotes

So we're playing with the Barking Expansion pack and need some clarifications. There's only 2 of us so I always remove 1/3 of the deck so that we couldn't count the remaining number of cards in our hands and in the draw pile, like how it is suggested in the manual. So my questions are:

  1. Start of Setup: After removing the Tower of Power, Exploding/Imploding Kittens, and Defuses for each player in the deck, do you also REMOVE the Barking Kittens BEFORE REMOVING 1/3 of the deck? So that there's a chance that the Barking Kittens are not actually in play?

  2. Do you shuffle in the Barking Kittens BEFORE you get 6 cards for the Tower of Power? So there's a chance that the barking kitten cards could be in the stashed cards?

This isn't an issue with the Streaking Kitten because it works as a standalone card, but with the Barking Kittens, it only works if both cards are in play. Any suggestions and comments would be really appreciated.

Love this game, especially the deck building part!

Discussion Exploding Kittens curse you, death rule missing

Upvotes

Hi

The rules didnt clarify what happens after someone dies whlle having charms and curses.

I know that people would just say let the charms and curses disappear from game as well but that creates an imbalanced game.

If someone have a bad curse for example, all players would target them to remove thst curse from play, which is really terrible idea.

This problem appears clearly when you combine expansions, someone gets a curse? Everyone steals or attacks them and rage mode can make it feel like instant death.

Move and rotate cards deal with alive players, so i dont know what happens to dead players.

I have ideas and I'll use one of them anyway, like making a graveyard house rule and you can move from it. Or simply charms and curses go to next player or a random player.

Question Cat card replacement!?

Upvotes

I’ve been experimenting with shrinking my deck by taking the cat cards out and replacing them with bad decision card. I also paired it with reveal and steal.

My only question is how do I make up for the 3 of a kind where people can ask for a card aka a defuse, or 1 of each for 5 to get a card from discard pile?

Here is the ultimate exploding kittens card list. It goes over every base game, expansion, and version. It only contains official material, I will not be adding fan made creations.

There's tabs for the master list, unique cards, unique card types, and party pack version info. If you want to edit the document you will have to download a personal copy. I know the info in here is correct because I personally own everything that's listed (including the official deck of legends). Hope this helps the collectors out there.

If there are issues or discrepancies with any of the cards let me know so I can update it.

Upvotes

I’ve finally finished assembling my ultimate Exploding Kittens mega deck, complete with nearly every card in the game that offers a unique ability and/or playing experience. (plus my cat card collection)

Every card is double sleeved, and about half of them are color coded using stickers on the inner sleeves. Orange acts as a party pack paw for bigger games, Red is for powerful cards that we don’t always play with, Black is for unique cards of which there is only one of, and Pink is for Curses/Charms.

I know I’m missing the deck of legends (which is pretty much impossible to get) as well as the cat cards from other countries, but other than those I think I’ve got every card in the game. If you think I may have missed any cards please let me know.

P.S. I know the official Exploding Kittens page and Elan Lee browse this sub, so if y’all see this I’d like to say two things:

  1. My slap cards don’t have original backings and it kinda sucks
  2. I have a card game idea, but I don’t want it to go unseen via submission on the Inventor Relations pa

ge. Please reach out, I’d love to hear what you think!

News Creepy and Aggro expansions unavailable for international purchase

This may be old news, but I emailed EK customer service to see whether international rollouts for Creepy and Aggro expansions would be happening later down the line.

They just ignored my question and just said they are Walmart exclusives 😢

So basically - I think they're only EVER going to be available in select Walmarts which is really frustrating as someone who lives in Europe. Walmarts are nowhere near me, don't even think my country has one.

If anyone from the team is reading, please could you roll Aggro and creepy out internationally? I'd love to get both expansions.
