There are a few strategies involved, we discovered during testing, which can make it frustrating for young players. While it's a luck-based game, each round is still super exciting. The objective of this card game (appropriate for ages 7 and up) is to take turns drawing a card from the pile without pulling an exploding kitten, and the process continues until one player is left and crowned the winner. The Spruce Home Improvement Review BoardĮxploding Kittens has all the elements of a great family game-it's easy to learn, competitive, and provides just the right amount of silly fun, proven through our testing.
