r/ExplodingKittens

Had to go to 5 different Walmarts but I finally got them! (Zombies added because the expansion only rules are not available online) Also, the store workers have no idea this exists and cannot see it on their devices...

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to understand what is the best way to have all the cards in the game. Until now I have bought the original, the recipe for disaster and the zombie edition. All are recently bought and can be returned if needed.

I read and i'm reading a lot of threads here but really can't understand and I bought the rfd and the zombie edition after a comment.

Can you help me understand better? Should I keep the rfd or the original and build the deck with the expansion and other edition etc?

I already know that rfd doesn't include all the newest cards (all cards after the rfd release)

Thank you in advanced

I would like to preface by saying I have never played exploding kittens, but have watched people play and am intrigued by it. I don't really have a group of friends to play with as none if my friends are interested in card games, but I wanted to get some as I was planning on playing it with some friends I rarely see.

This is what I'm thinking of getting: Zombie Kittens and Exploding Kittens travel pack(aka Grab & Game). I don't want to get the OG Base Game because, imo, if I'm getting the same cards in the Travel pack then its kinda unnecessary paying £10 extra just for the base game to come in its OG box, but thats just my opinion! Happy to hear thoughts.

I may continue to grow the collection of my board games (🤞🏼hopefully I make some new friends to play with!), and wanted to get some thoughts on the initial idea I had.

Hey I was introduced to this game last Sunday and it was a lot of fun.

I'm planning on getting the game, but I'm not sure what to to start with exactly.

I definitely will be playing with 3-5 players, but want to have the option to occasionally play in larger groups up to 8.

That's why I'm considering the party pack to start with. And it's the only base game with more defusers.

However I've heard that other base games are better.

One mentioned that you can just buy the zombie pack which by itself is really good, but it can also be used to extend the base game in a way so that you can play it with as many as the party pack. Is that true?

Than I would've gone for the normal base game + zombie + (streaking kittens or some other extension).

Or is recipe for disaster the way to go? I find it a bit expensive for not being able to play in larger groups...

Thanks in advance!

I want to have every possible dumb gimmick into one match so what’s the best way to go on with it

The one I mainly want is the curse you pack

But I was browsing the site and found the following for anyone that can help me out by telling me if my conclusion is statements and conclusions are correct, which ones are just a retexture and which one include actual unique cards i’d really appreciate it, ik that there are expansions but I’m talking about the base game with gimicks

Expansions:

Imploding kittens

Streaking kittens

Barking kittens

Base games with special cards/items:

Cat burglar (which if i’m not wrong i could personally replace with anything and imagine it’s a cat burglar and it would work)

Ragemode (exactly cat burglar but also has booby traps and alter the future)

Recipes for disaster (has some cards from the expansions but not all, so not an optimal purchase if I ever want an expansion because of duplicates)

Good vs evil (has many unique cards like armagadeon, godcat, devilcat and reveal the future)

Zombie kittens (similar to good vs evil multiple unique cards like feed the dead and dig deeper)

Anniversary edition (ngl this one is cool but those 8 cards are extremely game breaking)

And lastly exploding kittens curse you (which is the most unique version with curses and blessings)

Am I correct are all the other ones just retextures or is there any other unique cards I’d missed
