My kid came to me with that particular gleam in their eye—the one that means they've discovered something on the internet that absolutely cannot be lived without. 'Dad,' they said, 'there's a game where you try to avoid exploding kittens.' I did what any reasonable parent does: I sighed, opened a new tab, and prepared myself for the likelihood that we definitely have that at home.
See it, Dad? →What Is It?
Exploding Kittens is a strategic card game where players draw cards trying to avoid the titular exploding feline while using action cards to sabotage opponents and protect themselves. It's fast-paced, genuinely funny, and somehow manages to make cartoon cats in peril the centerpiece of a game that works for basically everyone from age 7 to 107. Think Russian roulette, but with more meowing and better odds.
What Does the Internet Think?
This isn't a case of one lucky review spike. Seventy-one thousand reviews with a 4.8-star average is the kind of consensus that suggests this game actually delivers on its promise. That's not hype; that's legitimacy earned through people repeatedly playing it, enjoying it, and deciding it was worth recommending. ★★★★½ across 71,000 reviews.
YES. Buy it. A game doesn't rack up 71,000 five-star reviews by accident, and this one has earned every single one. It's easy to learn, fast to play, genuinely funny, and the kind of thing that actually brings people together rather than making them regret family game night. This is a rare case where the internet consensus isn't just right—it's overwhelming.
