Exploding Kittens Party Pack REVIEW

[@adultmoshifan87]

I hope we get a 10th anniversary edition of Exploding Kittens, one of the cards in which is a Double Exploding Kitten who requires TWO Defuse cards to defuse!

[@gameswithdenverjames]

Yes!! That’d be really cool. Here’s hoping they do something to commemorate the 10th anniversary!🙌🏼🎉

[@nathanieltyghe4526]

Good idea but maybe once that cards been defused a certain amount of times it gets removed? Otherwise op?

[@sirtamle60001]

It would change the way you play even more so then the impolding kitten card and I hope they do but I think theres need to be an 2 extra defuse to so there can be 2 extra defuses in the deck and a defuse to let it add another player

[@Moltenbacon_boss]

Nuclear cat!

[@gameswithdenverjames]

Yes!!

[@gabrielplayz8647]

There is a second flap next to the one that holds the rules of the game and if you open that flap you’ll be able to remove the sound machine.

This is great, thanks for sharing this!!

Every review this guy makes: 10% intro, 70% explaining the game (only the base game if it's a varient). 20% picking some things such as the box 's art style that don't actually matter to have a bad thing and a good thing to say

Got it in the mystery pack and love it. And the music too :)

[@gameswithdenverjames]

That’s awesome! Also, those mystery packs were super cool. A really creative way of getting those games out there. Take care and have a great day!🙌🏼👏🏼

[@angelayala3124]

It's cool, but I think I should stick with my copy of regular Exploding Kittens + all expansions 😅. Fantastic review btw!

[@gameswithdenverjames]

You’ve got the best setup!!🙌🏼🎉 For the most part, the Party Pack, Recipes For Disaster, 2-Player Edition and Cat Burglar Edition are all simply “reprises” of the base game and its expansions. I’m glad that you enjoyed the review! Take care and have a great day!

​@@gameswithdenverjamesno i think cat burglar is like a 4th or 5th exoansion i think NSFW edition is more of a "reprise"

[@Chagz1]

Great review, really interesting to see what extra cards are included in the party pack which aren’t included in the base game. Also, would you consider reviewing Anarchy Pancakes and Without Fail?

[@gameswithdenverjames]

Yes! I thought the exact same thing. It’s a bit of a hybrid base game in comparison to the other additions. Ooohh yes! I really want to pick up Anarchy Pancakes, and Without Fail looks promising as well. Which one stands out to you the most?

[@Chagz1]

@@gameswithdenverjames I think anarchy pancakes is decent as everyone is able to play at the same time and therefore that sense of craziness is always quite fun. However, without fail personally seems far more interesting as each game will be unique depending on the players present, and I think that improved social dynamic does it for me 😁

[@hostilityy]

this party pack used to be an iffy buy because the back of the card was a different design years ago and cant be used with expansion backs without looking dumb, but looks like it's now same back design. makes no sense buying the regular anymore because this has 4 different card addition than regular and prices are around $5 more

[@gameswithdenverjames]

I remember that! I’m glad they remedied that issue by releasing a second edition with new card backs. It made the Party Pack worth the investment. Also, totally agree with you. When it comes to playability and getting more for your money, the Party Pack trumps the base game for sure. Take care and thanks for commenting!

[@scrobotah]

Hello! Thanks for the great review! I have a question: Since I am planning to buy the party pack, which expansion is recommended to get to make the game even more fun? (Or is there one?) I saw that "The party pack itself is the core game of Exploding Kittens plus the Imploding Kittens expansion (without the imploding kitten card) plus enough duplicate cards to play with up to 10 people." on a Reddit post. So, therefore, is there a recommended (or more than one) expansion that goes well with the Party Pack? Or, is there any better (and fun) combo of packs and expansions to play up to 10 players? Thanks in advance and have a nice day! :D

[@gameswithdenverjames]

Hello and thanks for reaching out! I’m so glad that this video was helpful to you! That’s a great question. I would highly recommend picking up Streaking Kittens. Not only is it the best expansion in the series (at least in my opinion), but it also doesn’t jack up the player count, making it a solid addition to the Party Pack. I’d also recommend Imploding Kittens, but as you said, the Party Pack already includes many of those cards. The Imploding Kitten card is pretty great though! Adding Zombie Kittens could also be a lot of fun, but it will bring your player count to 15, so you would want to remove a few of those Exploding Kittens, unless explosive chaos is your thing. Hopefully this helps, and again, thanks so much for reaching out!

[@scrobotah]

@@gameswithdenverjames One more question, please :) The Expansions work with any base game? (e.g. EK classic/Zombie Kittens/EK NSFW) Thank you very much! Really appreciate your support on this! :) P.S. Is Good vs Evil a Base Game or an Expansion?

[@FURIOUSNOOB1211]

@@scrobotahyes expansion work with all except for some party packs, because the older ones have different prints in the back of the card. And yes, good an evil is a base set

[@nxshy995]

Hey Denver! i just wanted to ask what would be the best option if im planning to buy a exploding kitten pack for my 10 friends. I want the game to be alot of fun with different variations so that we will not get easily bored and to not put it in the dusty shelves after playing for a week. Should i get the Party Pack and just buy some expansions? and what would be the best expansion packs that i should put and can you also put the expansion packs that are okayy if not being alongside the base game. I was also wondering if the Recipe of disasters is better and cheaper(just using my allowance money lol) than the Party Pack with the expansion packs? and if it does, will it be playable with 10 people? if not, how can i make it playable? I just found out about this game so sorry for alot of questions, i just want to make sure that i'm using my money for the best. I hope you will reply Thanks!!

[@gameswithdenverjames]

Hello and thanks for reaching out! That's a great question. Considering the amount of friends you're playing with, the Party Pack is definitely your best option! While Recipes For Disaster comes with a lot of cards, it doesn't come with enough Exploding Kittens and Diffuses to play with larger groups, which is a bummer. Not only does the Party Pack include enough cards for up to 10 players, but it also has a few cards from the Imploding Kittens expansion, which is a huge win! When it comes to expansions, to keep it as cheap (and fun!) as possible, I'd add the Streaking Kittens expansion to the Party Pack. Not only is it typically under $10, but it also has some of the absolute best cards in the series, at least in my opinion. As you build out your set in the future, I'd add Imploding Kittens after Streaking Kittens, and then Zombie Kittens! That's definitely later down the road, but great to keep in mind. Take care and hopefully this helps! I hope you and your friends have a great time with Exploding Kittens!

[@nxshy995]

Thanks for your reply and take care also!

[@bdoy23]

honestly the sad part is that some cards were removed from the party pack such as: triple and double slap, annoy card and blind card theres also some cards that arent a part of the party pack but were renamed or just removed permanently kitten role call that was just the atomic bomb and fake shuffle that was removed for some reason edit: i just realised that the blind card is just the cat butt

[@gameswithdenverjames]

I totally agree! It was almost as if they released the first edition too quickly, because they ended up having to retcon so many of those cards. That said, it only makes those original cards even rarer, turning them into collectibles at this point.

[@Noah-td1tj]

the slpa cards are only for the app which came after the game or at least base game

[@Derpyguyyt]

[@gettedizon]

still confused with how the attack cards stack rule is. My friends and I are arguing about it. Please enlighten me. If Player A plays attack card to Player B, Player B plays attack card as well to Player C so he then now has to draw 4x. Can player C play the cards in between his draw? like 1st draw is tacocat 2nd draw is skip or super skip can he use that skip right away to limit his draw? so he then now has only 1 draw left.

[@gameswithdenverjames]

Thanks for reaching out! You’re absolutely right. Attack cards DO stack. Cards can also be played from the hand in between draws, since each draw represents a turn. Hopefully this helps to “diffuse” the argument! Lol

[@zentinzentin]

if you are annoyed by music from the box.. remove it and you can put expansion cards in that slot..

[@gameswithdenverjames]

Haha you know, I might actually have to do that!

[@MeatMake]

Mine looks different from yours, I have a different image on the back of the cards, and slap cards instead of attack cards

[@gameswithdenverjames]

You must have the first edition! They released a second edition some years ago, where the backs of the cards matched the others in the series. You have a piece of history in your hands!

[@aidanharan3641]

Can the streaking kittens expansion pack be added into the party pack?

[@gameswithdenverjames]

Absolutely it can!

[@ssur5155]

May I ask? What if i have original and nsfw exploding kitten and combined it. Does it work like this party pack? cause im torn if i should still buy this even thou i have original and nsfw.

[@gameswithdenverjames]

That would totally work! It would act as its own Party Pack if you combined them. Great idea!

İf someone played attack card then i played attack card and nope card play whos turn then what happend ?İ will take 2 cards ?

[@gameswithdenverjames]

Great question! And you’re right! If your Attack Card got Noped, you would still have to play the two turns for the Attack Card that was played on you. Take care and happy gaming!

[@alcesisalcesis937]

What do you think is the best comparing PP and RFD?

[@gameswithdenverjames]

That’s a really good question! I think that RFD gives you a lot more for your money in terms of card variety. However, if you’re a completionist and you want to go all-in with the expansion packs, I’d say PP, simply because you can build on it like you would the original base game. Plus you can play with SO many people. That said, as an owner of both sets, I’d say that you really can’t go wrong with either one. Thanks for commenting and hopefully this helps!

[@beaandjames3989]

What if there are 11 players can you mix the original and party pack?

[@gameswithdenverjames]

Yes! You can totally mix the original and Party Pack. That would make for one monster of a game.

Hi can I ask how you differenciate a fake and authentic exploding kittens? Especially for the party pack because im planning on getting one :)

[@gameswithdenverjames]

Hello! If you take a look at the bottom left corner on the printed side of any Exploding Kitten card, you should see small-print words that tell you what set the cards belong to. This also acts as verification when it comes to authenticating cards. Take care and thanks for reaching out!

[@ms0n853]

@@gameswithdenverjames i don't think that works since i bought a copy from ali express since i couldn't afford the one on amazon coming from US (i could have got it from french amazon store but the game is in french and altough i understand it along with my friends i still think english is superior) the cards from this copy have the little text that indicates from which set they originally belong to but the reason ik they are not authentic is bc i don't have targetted attack cards and instead only have 11 normal attack cards. also i got 123 cards while the game box indicates only 122 and some cards have some poor printing on the back side which is fine but yeah its 100 percent fake. i wonder if the quality of the authenttic cards is any better tho considerering i never had my hands on one, are they made of good materials ? like does the card get those bad folding marks if you hold them a bit tightly in your hands or while playing over time or do they just get a little rips from the corners? idk tbh i feel like authentic quality would be the one who would get just a little damaged from the corners over time and don't get the folding marks while the copies do get damaged quickly
