Exploding Kittens is also expanding on its title franchise with Exploding Kittens: Recipes for Disaster, introducing 13 new ways to play the original explosive card game. The expansion features the ultimate collection of fan-favorite cards from the entire Exploding Kittens library in one box. Players can use the included recipe booklets to play Exploding Kittens in entirely new ways, such as a two-minute version of the game or “the most brutal version of the game ever created.” And if players commit the ultimate game crime — forgetting whose turn it is — they must wear the included Cone of Shame around their neck as a punishment. This is the seventh game in the Exploding Kittens franchise, which also includes Exploding Minions.
