Exploding Kittens: Barking Kittens. Expansion Pack

Attention! This is an expansion pack. To play, you will need the base version of "Exploding Kittens" or "Exploding Kittens 18+", or "Zombie Kittens".

The kittens have gone crazy! They suddenly started barking at passersby, chasing cars, burying bones (we hope they're zombie kittens), demanding someone throw a ball, and even driving dogs out of their doghouses! Oh those kittens, as if there wasn't enough chaos already...

About the expansion:
Introducing "Barking Kittens" – the second expansion for "Exploding Kittens", released in Russian, which you can use to diversify both the 18+ version and "Zombie Kittens". It brings even more of what millions of players around the world love about kittens – chaos filled with unrestrained fun! 20 cards with new properties will surprise everyone at the table, and a real battle will ensue for the CHIC KITTY CROWN OF POWER!

About the game:
"Exploding Kittens" is the sensational card hit that has won over a huge number of players worldwide. The game is extremely easy to master and features unique designs; you will definitely fall in love with these beautiful illustrated kittens!

The game offers a fast-paced and dynamic gameplay where you will have to weigh risks. The game vaguely resembles "Russian Roulette" – players take turns drawing cards from the deck, and if they pull one of the exploding kittens, they explode immediately and are out of the game! To prevent this from happening, you can use various cards or even combinations of them.

This is a very cute, unusual, and funny game for true cat lovers and fans of simple and dynamic board games.

How to play?
In the center of the table is a deck of cards, which contains, among other cards, exploding kittens. On their turn, a player can play a card from their hand and must then draw the top card from the deck. If they draw an exploding kitten, they are immediately out of the game. You just exploded, by the way!

Each player starts with eight random cards, including one special "Defuse" card. With this card, you can survive if you draw an exploding kitten. These are the most valuable cards, so you need to collect as many as possible! Players take turns drawing cards and try very hard not to explode.

Preparation for the game with the "Barking Kittens" expansion proceeds as usual, but with a couple of new twists: remove the "Kitty Crown of Power" card from the expansion deck, shuffle the remaining expansion cards into the main deck, draw 6 cards from the top, and cover them with the Kitty Crown of Power – this is the "stash". Then shuffle the "Kitty Crown of Power" card into the deck and start playing!

After playing the "Kitty Crown of Power" card, put the Kitty Crown on your head, and place the cards from the stash right on your head. The Kitty Crown protects you from other players stealing your cards: each time a "Cuddle" card is played against you, the player will take a card from the stash, and your cards will remain with you!

Who won?
The player who manages to avoid exploding on a kitten throughout the game will win, meaning the last player remaining alive! Congratulations, you are a natural kitten lover and a sapper at the same time!

Number of players: 2–5.
Game duration: from 15 minutes.
