About the game
If you thought the original Exploding Kittens was wild, brace yourself! The NSFW edition—known here as the 'Proibidão' version—is the home for all those cards that were deemed 'too intense' or 'too crazy' for the family-friendly version. Forget about playing it safe; this is where the real chaos lives. We're talking about exploding kittens with bizarre illustrations, edgy humor, and a level of irreverence that only a legendary Kickstarter success could spawn.

The gameplay follows a high-stakes version of 'hot potato' with cards: you keep drawing from the deck until someone pulls an Exploding Kitten and... BOOM! You're out. But don't think it's just pure luck. You'll have a hand full of cards to help you skip your turn, peek at the deck, or—more importantly—sabotage your friends. It's a mix of hand management and hilarious 'take-that' mechanics that will keep everyone on their toes.

Pro tip: this isn't just a standalone experience. If you already own the standard Exploding Kittens deck, you can mix them together! Combining both decks allows you to scale the mayhem up to 9 players (or even 10 if you bring the Imploding Kittens expansion into the mix). It's fast, it's chaotic, and it's the perfect choice for a game night with friends who don't mind a bit of dark humor and friendly betrayal.
