Well done, Melanie! Thanks for inviting your dad to your video 😉! I have Exploding Kittens but haven’t played it yet. My family enjoys games with some luck in them.

Great job Melanie! Participation trophy goes to jeff.

Chris Yi messaged me - he said, "Melanie did a great job, and you were there...!" 😂

@@TabletopToolbox That's Chris all right, always stealing from the comments. 😄

[@BoardGamesBricksHobbies]

There's also a stand-alone expansion "Zombie Kittens" which adds new cards

Love it! Cats and cat-related games are always welcome at our house. 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛ I was hoping for an Exploding Kittens review. We've had this game for years. Melanie, thank you for the excellent and insightful review! 🫶🏻

This game definitely deserves more love than it typically gets, but I hope this video gets all the love it deserves. You both are fantastic!

[@runraggedrhino]

...but where's the Isle of Cats Big Box at?? 😜

[@TabletopToolbox]

​@@runraggedrhino I'm actually one of the few who doesn't enjoy Isle of Cats. :)

Alright so it looks like I goofed - Exploding Kittens and Cards Against Humanity weren't designed/published by the same group - just perhaps printed by the same company, AdMagic. I went down the wrong click-path on BGG. Sorry!

[@ajguez]

Nice overview.. looks fun

[@blazing_KC]

You guys didn't mention that you can also nope a nope.

[@TabletopToolbox]

Actually we did, but I had to cut a LOT out of this as it got way too long. My fault - I tend to wander from my script more when Mel and I team up... :)

[@davetomasheski9509]

Great review but Exploding Kittens is not from the same designers as Cards Against Humanity.

[@TabletopToolbox]

It's not?!? I swear they were both linked in BGG...

[@TabletopToolbox]

Okay - so it looks like AdMagic may have printed both games, but perhaps wasn't involved in actual publishing. Rats...

[@davetomasheski9509]

@@TabletopToolbox nope that was part of the craziness of there first KS being so huge. They had never done anything like this before. I really like EK and don't think it deserves the hate that it gets. Is it the crunchiest game definitely not but as you said it has more strategy than people give it credit for.

[@TabletopToolbox]

@Dave Tomasheski exactly- everyone hates it but no one can tell me why! It's kinda like the Nickelback of board games!! 🤣

[@AbsolutMassager]

You forgot about NSFW exploding kittens expansion

[@TabletopToolbox]

That's not actually an expansion - it's just different art on the base game cards. I bought it, realized that, gave it to my sister, and she threw it away later because she didn't even remember how she had gotten it... 😂

[@halojill4937]

Outdoor cats are the leading cause of bird deaths in the US-- so unfortunately for me this theme is a no go. Just not fun.

[@TabletopToolbox]

Um, ok!
