Exploding Kittens That Escalated Quickly, 2-8 Players, Age 10+, Card Game

This is a family favourite. We’ve played it many times with ages from 7 to 73 and also a family member with additional needs. Even the teenager gets involved. It’s cooperative rather than competitive which keeps everyone engaged and the wild scenarios always make us laugh. Definitely worth the money and easy to pick up within a few minutes. It would be great for a gift for an older child or just to have in for quality family time.

Absolutely superb game I highly recommend for families. We play with kids ranging 9-70!

good fun game, easy to play after first two trys. more laughs from the different answers people create. Good for all ages.

This is such a fun game to play and is great for helping kids to let loose with creative ideas. It is quite taxing as a tired parent though as you have to come up with imaginative ideas for different situations..such as ‘I’m an astronaut, and I just spilled something in my space station. What did I spill?’ then have to give ideas from the least distressing to the most distressing depending on which card you get. People then guess whether your card was 1-10 on the distressing scale. It is tricky to get your head around the concept of the game at first but only takes one game and then it becomes very funny. It is great to play as a family partly as it isn’t overly competitive.

Played a couple of times at Christmas, I found it fun, trying to work out what to say for your word on the scale. We found it is tricky to actually win and get them in the right order but that could quite likely be us as a family 🤣 Teens 13 & 17 didn’t enjoy it as much as the adults.

Ok after getting the hang of the concept

This game is hilarious so easy to play. Theres no set up or confusing rules. My family are big into board games. It takes some imagination but you can make of it what you like - good for drunk nights or playing with kids. I think you do need a few players though - ideally more than 4 as you have to guess where someone has pitched their answer on a scale of 1-10. For instance. One question is about an item you could take on a plane 1 being without any trouble 10 being you’d have a load of difficulty so if you said ‘a bomb’ you’re team might be a able to guess your answer was about a 10 on the difficulty scale

Great fun for teenagers.

Me lo recomendaron y no me arrepiento

Great game for groups!

This game has been a satisfyingly hilarious purchase for our family. We've played it a few times since Christmas, and the kids (13-17) look forward to playing it again and trying it with friends--and we adults enjoyed it, as well. It's a simple concept, so it was quick to learn how to play. There's virtually no setup and it doesn't take long to get through a round of the game, which is great if you've got a busy family like ours and are just trying to squeeze in a half-hour or hour of family fun but aren't looking for hours of gameplay. I appreciate that the cards are dual-sided, so you have lots of scenarios to discuss and are not likely to repeat them for quite a long time. It's also a game that would be easy to play in a variety of settings (car, restaurant, hospital room) because it doesn't require much space. (You could actually just play out of the box or just pack the card decks and keep them in-hand if you don't have a surface for displaying the number cards at the end of each round or tracking the success/failure cards.) We did discover that our initial instinct was to come up with a simple answer (for the 'jumping out of an airplane' example on the box--a parachute or an anvil), but in order to differentiate the level of your answer--and up the hilarity--you have to be elaborate and specific (so three dozen parachutes that had been inspected and packed by experts in parachute-packing and were each guaranteed to hold up to 1000 lbs might be the most helpful, while a single parachute haphazardly packed by a six-year-old but definitely connected to your harness or an angry Canada goose with helpfully oversized feet for ease of gripping and steering might be somewhere in the middle and a semi-truck-sized anvil made of a particularly dense metal not found on earth that has the unique quality of being intensely attracted to the surface of our planet would definitely prove itself to be the worst option). Have fun being creative with your answers and debating your fellow players' about the ranking of various answers!

Love Love Love this game. Hours of fun with family and friends. The laugh and the good times. Just keep going with every new card. Highly recommend for family fun nights, icebreaker activities or for team building. It's a group game that requires you to work together. Worth the price and worth the investment!

Fun game for games nights with a group. It truly can escalate quickly! Easy to understand and has become a go to for our game nights with a lot of people. We have played in groups to make it accessible to more people than recommended. Lots of fun!
