Polygon has a review
[quote name="skip"]<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDimtEB7Q3Y">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDimtEB7Q3Y</a> They're not going to give it a negative review because they know their audience but there's so many obvious clues that it's shit. [quote]promoted Exploding Kittens as a "a highly strategic kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette." The simplicity of that description, when coupled with The Oatmeal's viral art, helped push the Exploding Kittens Kickstarter campaign to obscene heights.[/quote] The "simplicity of that description" is nonsense if you remove some of the words. "Strategic Russian Roulette". The best strategy in that game is not to play. [quote]She handed me one of them as I sat down, and continued laughing uncontrollably. On it was a picture of a kitten. The kitten was farting.[/quote] I now know that I have no friends in common with Polygon writers and that makes me happy. [quote]Attacks unleash bizarre, Oatmeal-themed horrors such as the bear-o-dactyl, the catterwocky and the thousand-year back hair. If you're not familiar with The Oatmeal and his body of work, you're going to be completely lost. As was Tricia's husband, Steve. "Yeah, that's funny," he said while not laughing.[/quote] I might know some of their long-suffering in-laws though. [quote]Exploding Kittens is quick, it's fun and yes it is functional. It's safe for kids and, in fact, my five year old spent much of one game on my lap telling me what to do and loving every minute of it. (I can only imagine that the NSFW deck, an add-on that expands the maximum player count from four to nine, would not be advisable for a child. Hard to say, as I didn't try it.)[/quote] A Gamer Dad. Of course. [quote]Much less frantic than Fluxx. More along the lines of Uno.[/quote] This won't even be a good gateway game like Catan. It's just going to have a loyal group of followers who think "cheetah butt" is funny and buy all the expansions. [/quote]
