Yes, you read that right: "Exploding Kittens: The Recipe for Catastrophe" includes 121 cards from other versions of the game and expansions (even from those that were not previously published in Russian)! A perfectly balanced mix for experienced newcomers and...
budding masters. Or the other way around. But the main highlight of "The Recipe for Catastrophe" is hidden in the recipe cards themselves, which offer a whole 13 new ways to play! Each recipe has unique notes that you will definitely want to savor. Just don't chew the cards!
Additionally, you will find the Legendary Collar of Shame in the set, which will motivate your friends to pay closer attention to the game and not forget whose turn it is.
This is a standalone game, but nothing can stop you from combining it with any part or expansion of the "Exploding Kittens" series.
How to play?
In the center of the table is a deck of cards, which includes, among others, exploding kittens. On your turn, a player can play a card from their hand and then must draw the top card from the deck. If you draw an exploding kitten, you are immediately out of the game. You just exploded, by the way!
Each player receives eight random cards, one of which is a special "Defuse" card. With this card, you can survive if you draw an exploding kitten. These are the most valuable cards, and you should collect plenty of them!
Players take turns drawing cards and trying very hard not to explode. Special cards that can be played at the beginning of your turn will help them:
"Attack" card - forces the next player to take two turns in a row, thus doubling the chance of explosion!
"Nope" card - cancels the effect of the previous card
"Skip" card - allows you to not draw a card on your turn
"Trade" card - forces a player to give you one card
"Shuffle" card - allows you to shuffle the deck. Useful if you know the top card will blow you to pieces!
"See the Future" card - allows you to peek at the top three cards of the deck!
Cat cards! Useless by themselves, but with another combination rule, they can be helpful. For example, playing any two identical cards allows you to take a card from an opponent. With three identical cards, you can choose a specific card from an enemy. And with five different ones, you can rummage through the discard pile and take any card you like.
But these are just the standard cards you may have encountered in other versions of "Exploding Kittens". In "The Recipe for Catastrophe," more interesting things await you!
Who wins?
The player who manages to not explode on a kitten throughout the entire game wins, that is, the last surviving player! Congratulations, you are a born cat lover and a sapper in your spare time!
