Exploding Kittens: Party Pack is the ultimate version for those who want to bring the explosive kitten madness to a larger group! This standalone game combines content from the original Exploding Kittens, the Imploding Kittens expansion, and even some exclusive app cards, allowing up to 10 players to join the fun. The core gameplay remains the same: a feline Russian roulette where you draw cards until someone pulls an exploding kitten and is eliminated. But don't worry, the deck is packed with action cards that help you avoid exploding, whether by peeking at upcoming cards, forcing an opponent to draw multiple cards, or shuffling the deck to change your fate.
The Party Pack brings some cool new features. First, the box plays party music when you open it, immediately setting the mood! The cards feature brand new back art and white borders, which helps preserve them and prevents mixing with other collections (but means you can't use old cards). Additionally, new card types like 'Double Slap' and 'Triple Slap' have been introduced, replacing the old 'Attack' and 'Targeted Attack,' adding extra rules for more intense attacks. To balance gameplay with the number of participants, the game offers a card selection system: for 2-3 players, use only cards with a pawprint; for 4-7, use those without a pawprint; and for 8-10, play with all 122 cards. It's the same hilarious and chaotic experience, but now optimized for your entire crew!
