That Escalated Quickly

That Escalated Quickly is a card game where up to eight players work together to put absurd answers in the right order. A reimagining of Top Ten, the 2022 Spiel Des Jahres (German Game of the Year) nominee from Cocktail Games, Exploding Kittens has rewritten all 160 questions with a clean and appealing card design while preserving the enduring game elements of one of Europe's most popular party games.

Power Hungry Pets

A strategy game for people who hate strategy games, Power Hungry Pets is a reimagining of Love Letter from Z-Man Games. Featuring Exploding Kittens' adorable characters and signature artwork, this simple strategy game culminates in a mad grab for power. Each card features a number and a hilarious way to backstab, steal from, or obliterate the other players (all in good fun). Players hold one card at all times, draw a second card during their turn, and must decide which to keep and which to play – requiring only one decision at a time. In the end, the player left with the highest number of card wins.

Danger Danger

Danger Danger is a 1-minute card game with an evil twist you won't see coming. Players draw and play cards as fast as they can for 60 seconds. Each card is worth a number of points, and the team with the most points showing at the end of the game wins. However, the timer in the game is hidden, so players never know how much time is left. If you're still playing when the buzzer goes off, you instantly lose the game!

Hoppy Salmon

An adaptation of Exploding Kittens' fan-favorite classic title, Happy Salmon, with an Easter twist, Hoppy Salmon features new Easter-themed actions and higher-quality cards than ever before. With gameplay similar to the original title, each player gets a stack of cards with a simple action that requires a partner. Players frantically shout their actions to find a partner, and the pair must complete the action before discarding. The first player to finish the actions in all their cards wins the game.
