94/100

Exploding Kittens on Netflix is the definitive way to play this beloved card game on mobile. The biggest advantage here is the removal of all microtransactions—if you have a Netflix sub, you get the whole game, which is a breath of fresh air. The interface is dripping with the humor of The Oatmeal, and the animations for the various cards are genuinely funny.

Online play is robust and finding a match is usually very quick. What I love most is how the game captures the 'take-that' social dynamic of the physical version. Using a 'See the Future' card followed by an 'Alter the Future' to screw over your friend is just as satisfying digitally. Plus, this version includes exclusive cards that you won't find in the standard tabletop deck, giving even long-time fans something new to discover. It’s easily one of the best value-adds in the Netflix Games catalog.

In this multiplayer, kitty-powered game of chance, players draw cards — until someone draws an exploding kitten and blows up. Then that player is out unless they have a defuse card. Defuse cards allow players to neutralize furry foes with laser pointers, belly rubs, catnip sandwiches or other diversions. All of the other cards in the deck can be used strategically to move, mitigate or avoid. Featuring original art by The Oatmeal.

Exploding Kittens - NETFLIX is a highly strategic, kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette. Players draw cards until someone draws an Exploding Kitten, at which point they explode and are out of the game—unless they have a Defuse card. This exclusive Netflix version includes the 'Radar' and 'Flip' cards, and allows for both single-player and multiplayer modes with friends or strangers online.

Tips

Managing Your Defuse

Your Defuse card is your most valuable asset. Don't use it until you absolutely have to. Use your 'Skip' or 'Attack' cards early to force others to draw and potentially waste their own Defuses first.

Social Sabotage

The core of the game is managing the deck. Use 'See the Future' to check the top three cards. If an Exploding Kitten is there, use a 'Shuffle' or an 'Attack' to ensure you aren't the one who has to draw it.
