🔥😼 IGNITE THE CHAOS! EXPLODING KITTENS® 2 IS OUT NOW! The ultimate card game with friends is back with a bang, people! The latest version has it all – customisable avatars, emojis, oodles of game modes and cards full of quirky humour and animations sleeker than an oiled kitty with catnip-fuelled zoomies! What’s that? There’s a particular card you’ve all been waiting for? That we’ve clearly forgotten to mention? Hmm…nope. Don’t think so…or maybe…? The blazing legend of unfathomably volatile cats continues, and this time, you’ll feel the explosions reverberate through your dreams. If only there were some way to save yourself. Just nope right on out of there, you know? The rules are still simple – draw cards, try not to blow up. Sounds easy, right? Well, obviously you’ve never owned a cat. You see, tangled up in the deck are multiple fiery-furred kitties waiting to land in your hand and detonate your hopes of victory. Hope you have a Defuse card ready! The last one standing is crowned the winner! EXPLODING KITTENS® 2 knows how to glow up right; bring back everything fans loved from the original, add in some upgrades and chuck more kitties in there. We’ve done that and more! More customisation! More explosions! More outfits! More kitties! More awesome graphics! More explosions! More ways to play! You won’t wanna say “Nope” to this! Dress your avatar up in the season’s hottest outfits (cat hair not included) Personalise your emoji set to ensure your trash talk has a razor-sharp edge. Play alone against our expert AI or impress your mum with your sparkling social life by playing with friends online! The mayhem comes to life with awesome animations! Those Nope cards just hit different now… Find out more about the upcoming game on our website:
