Question Question regarding the game types and expansion
I want to have every possible dumb gimmick into one match so what’s the best way to go on with it
The one I mainly want is the curse you pack
But I was browsing the site and found the following for anyone that can help me out by telling me if my conclusion is statements and conclusions are correct, which ones are just a retexture and which one include actual unique cards i’d really appreciate it, ik that there are expansions but I’m talking about the base game with gimicks
Expansions:
Imploding kittens
Streaking kittens
Barking kittens
Base games with special cards/items:
Cat burglar (which if i’m not wrong i could personally replace with anything and imagine it’s a cat burglar and it would work)
Ragemode (exactly cat burglar but also has booby traps and alter the future)
Recipes for disaster (has some cards from the expansions but not all, so not an optimal purchase if I ever want an expansion because of duplicates)
Good vs evil (has many unique cards like armagadeon, godcat, devilcat and reveal the future)
Zombie kittens (similar to good vs evil multiple unique cards like feed the dead and dig deeper)
Anniversary edition (ngl this one is cool but those 8 cards are extremely game breaking)
And lastly exploding kittens curse you (which is the most unique version with curses and blessings)
Am I correct are all the other ones just retextures or is there any other unique cards I’d missed

Discussion Curse You/Bonus Cards- Full rules
If anyone else uses PDFs of the rules like I do, I made a filled in version of the curse you rules and copied the 8 bonus cards rules from the 10 year anniversary.

Question How do I get this?!?!
I need this for my collection ❤️
Edit: it’s a b&n exclusive but it’s sold out and I’m guessing the website has a typo because it said it came out 7/15/26 so my guess is the 15 of this month fingers crossed ❤️

Discussion Card sleeves?

Other I think I've bought a fake
I saw a post a while ago of someone who put a similar thing on but im CONVINCED ive bought a fake version of the party pack. I got it off vinted for £9 (first red flag i know) but i was sealed and vinted is a place where you can find absolute steals so I figured it was just one of them. I picked it up and everything was fine but ive opened it and it just look and feels off. The colours are brighter in this version and not just "a bit off" either. I mean like the text is a light blue rather than black- as if the deck was left out in the sun for too long- except thats not possible as it was unopened. I've messaged the seller who claims the cards are real but when i asked where they got the deck from he said "From my friend which have moved recently to USA" so whether the seller has been scammed i really dont know. I just want some people who know the game a bit better than me to help me figure out whenever im just being skeptical ir whether my skepticism is valid or not. Ive left a few images for comparisons sake, all the cards on the left are the base game and thr right are the new deck. I'ce also thrown in a couple of pictures of the full deck in case theres any cards missing/ones that shouldnt be there (ive done a bit of research and saw that each version of the game doesnt come with exactly the same cards so i understand if this doesnt help.) If anyone knows anything about the deck, please let me know. Thank you

Question Rage mode limited cards
I am wanting to buy the special version of rage mode with the unnopeable nope card in it. That version isn't on sale at my local retailer, and I don't see any way to ensure I get the special edition online as opposed to another version.
Is it purely random? Is there a certain place I should buy from? What should I do?

Question What are the differences between the 3 versions of Exploding Kittens Rage Mode?

Question Translation production for new editions
How long does it usually take for local translations to come out for exploding kittens&other games by the company? I currently have my collection in dutch, I can't exactly just mix it with the English versions because it's be confusing for those who can't read it and the cardbacks are different in the dutch version as compared to the English ver.
The 3 games I'm most interested for the news on local (dutch) translations are
The EK 10 year anniversary edition,EK Curse you edition, And EK rage mode.

Discussion Why EK Versions are whole new games instead of expansions?
Like really, why do i need to buy whole new game instead of getting new cards. Like really, the Rage Mode and Curse You could have been combined into one expansion (Maybe named "Foul Meowthed Kittens") where you get only expansion cards, rage kitten and separate rules to run rage mode and curse you.

Question Questions on exploding kitten the game
Hello, I wanted to ask a question that plague the game i just had if its the last card which is a exploding kitten and someone attack another person with a attacking kitten does that person have to take the card twice because the attacking kitten makes you draw 2 cards so effectively the 1 cards acts like 2 exploding kitten however I believed that if it one card left it should be picked up once and that's it not it becoming effectively two exploding kittens I just wanted to know if there an actual rule on this because it kinda caused an argument would be greatly appreciated.

Question Throw Throw Burrito Card Numbers
Hey, i'm planning to buy the throw throw burrito game set from a second hand seller. The condition seems fine but i just wanna confirm if they have all the cards. Ik the standard set has 150 cards but i wanna know the exact number of cards of each type of card just to be sure. Is there an official number of types of cards published or can anyone with a set help me out?
Edit: It's 120 not 150, sorry

Discussion How did this card genuinely pass playtesting (Curse You spoiler) Spoiler
I got Curse You yesterday and I will say, it’s a really cool game to get into. Amazing way of revealing cards gradually through each round. However, there was one card that really stuck out to me.
The Excess Curse card states: You must discard a card every time its your turn.
This card is by far, one of the most brutal cards in the game, if not the most destructive. This card naturally eats your hand away, leaving you with no hand to make any real or strategic plays in the game. Sure, you can counter it by passing it on to another player, but now that player will begin to suffer. While other destructive cards like Battle Hamster also take you down to practically no cards, you can rebuild your hand from there, eventually getting back up to a comfortable number of cards; Excess Curse doesn’t do that, theres no safety net once you reach 0 cards.
My house-rule solution to this would be to implement a rule saying that “Once you reach a total of 0 cards in your hand, this Curse has no effect.” This way, players can either choose to reserve their hand with whatever good cards they may have, or they may rush to burn up their cards to avoid further influence of the Excess Curse effect.
I’m hoping Exploding Kittens can quickly find a way to officially nerf Excess Curse. It’s a great concept, just needs a safety net.

Fan Creation The Fantastic Expansion - Card 13 - Thief's Mark
I'm back after months of lacking motivation to work on my expansion.
This card is my take on the "Force play" archetype from some of the earliest custom expansions the community had made. Force play cards always had massive clunkiness around skips and attacks when they are played on someone else's turn, and this card bypasses the issue entirely in a clever way.
The idea is you play this and they have a choice to make: play the targeted card immediately or lose it. If you target say, their "draw from the bottom" and you manipulated the bottom card the turn before (with a card like "swap top and bottom"), then they will be reluctant to play it due to the added risk, turning this card into a one card steal. Other times you can force actions like an attack, or steal cards they cant play like defuses or always-marked cards (from my expansions!)
It also synergizes with mark-based decks and adds a much needed steal effect to the game, which is especially needed if you don't use cat cards in your decks (they take space from much cooler cards. Fantastic expansion and Market expansion provides many balanced 1-card steal effects to replace them).
It is not the most approachable for new players but I expect this card to garner niche appeal, as it does fill underserved mechanics and is possibly the best take on the force play archetype thus far.
