About the game
If you're a fan of the chaos in Exploding Kittens, get ready for even more mayhem with Exploding Minions! Imagine that classic Russian Roulette card game, but now featuring the most beloved yellow creatures from the movies. The premise is simple and frantic: you draw cards until, eventually, an Exploding Minion appears and knocks you out of the game. But hold on, it's not just pure luck! The game is packed with strategic cards that let you peek at the deck, force your friends to draw extra cards, or even shuffle everything up to mess with someone's plan. The tension ramps up as the deck gets smaller, because fewer cards mean a much higher chance of hitting that explosion. And here's a cool twist: the Minions introduced a brand-new mechanic not found in the original—the ability to clone cards, adding an extra layer of mischief to the gameplay. It's a fast-paced card game, perfect for quick laughs and a bit of healthy discord among friends and family in just 15 minutes. It's the kind of game you learn in two minutes and immediately want a rematch!
