Exploding Kittens® - Official is a quirky and invigorating foray into the card game genre, brought to the digital landscape by the same irreverent minds behind its tabletop predecessor, Exploding Kittens, Inc. The company, which was skyrocketed into prominence through a remarkably successful crowdfunding campaign, has managed to capture the whimsical chaos of the original in this app with finesse. The transition from physical cards to pixels is embroidered with vivid art that's as hilarious as it is eye-catching, showcasing exploding felines and a host of other absurd creatures in a style that fans of The Oatmeal will instantly recognize.

The game's auditory experience compliments the zany art, with sound effects that emphasize the comedic timing of gameplay moments, often leading to genuine bouts of laughter. The storyline, if one could call the drive to avoid an explosive kitten a 'story', is simple yet surprisingly gripping as players employ a range of special gameplay techniques to outlast their opponents. These techniques include 'defusing' tense situations with things like laser pointers and belly rubs, or 'peeking' at the deck to forecast impending doom.

However, not all is purr-fect in this feline frenzy. While the game's charm is undeniable, it can feel a tad repetitive after extended play sessions, which may be a turn-off for players seeking depth and varied progression. Furthermore, the randomness inherent in the gameplay, while part of its allure, can also be a source of frustration as the lack of control sometimes feels at odds with strategic play. Nevertheless, for gamers looking for a quick, entertaining escape full of strategy, unpredictability, and humor, Exploding Kittens® - Official scratches far more itches than it irritates, establishing itself as a 'pawsitively' delightful digital diversion.

How to play?

🃏Step 1: Start by downloading Exploding Kittens® - Official from the App Store or Google Play Store. Once installed, dive into the tutorial which provides a hands-on guide to the basic rules and flow of the game.

👉Step 2: Begin a new game, either against strangers online, with friends, or against AI. Your main objective is to avoid drawing an Exploding Kitten card from the deck, while forcing your opponents to draw them.

🔍Step 3: Get familiar with the other cards in your hand. They range from Defuse cards, which neutralize Exploding Kittens, to Skip, Attack, and Shuffle cards that shift the flow of turns and the order of the deck.

🔮Step 4: Use the See the Future card to peek at the top three cards of the deck, strategizing your next moves to avoid the Kittens. Execute your strategy by playing or holding onto cards based on what you expect will come up.

💣Step 5: If and when you draw an Exploding Kitten, use a Defuse card if you have one. If not, hope that another player can't steal your turn and you're not left at the mercy of the deck.

🔄Step 6: Adapt your strategy on the fly, using your cards to manipulate the turn order or the deck. Remember that your opponents are trying to outwit you just as fiercely, so stay alert for their tactics.

🏆Step 7: Survive the intense back-and-forth until you’re the last player standing or the deck is depleted of all Exploding Kittens, emerging triumphantly as the purr-eminent tactician.
