Exploding Kittens That Escalated Quickly 2-8 Players - Ages 10+ - 15 Minutes to Play - Hilarious Cooperative Card Game - Ideal for Party, Family Game Night, Adult and Teen

I love this concept, and the fact that you can play it with larger groups up to 10 and also in just pairs with modifying the rules (see below). The quality of the gameplay, however, is dependent on the cleverness of players, so choose who you play this game with wisely. The categories are clever. I think some of the negative reviews given to this game is more due to those playing it, and not on the game itself. For example:1. Some of the categories are reverse-scored, in that sometimes a 1 can be "least disappointing..." and other times a 1 can be "most likely to..." So you just have to pay close attention to the prompts before playing a round so that everybody is on the same page. That's not really the fault of the game design.2. Many have criticized that it is hard to keep track of who said what. To reduce this, we play by having everybody say their clue, then go around one more time to say their clue again. The person guessing then starts with who s/he thinks is lowest, asks that person for their card, then reveals the card number face-up. If correct, s/he goes to the next highest number, etc. That way you know immediately what that person's number was.I have played this around a campfire with one or two other people, when we choose a category, get a number, then just try to guess each other's numbers.In all, this game is a lot of fun if played with the "right" people. We often continue playing even after we get three cards either right or wrong.

This is a really fun game for groups of people who are creative, enjoy laughing at each other, and don't take themselves or the game too seriously. It's a cooperative game in which you work together, so either everyone wins together or everyone loses together, which is something I really like since I prefer fun games over competitive games. However, if you have a group of people who take the game too seriously and can't laugh at themselves, then this game could potentially be awkward and/or boring to play. However, with a group of creative people who are more concerned about having fun than winning the game, this game is hilarious and can keep a group of people entertained a long time.

Fun, family game. Easy to learn and fun to play.

Great for family game night, I recommend

Played it with my friends for a solid 2.5 hours, it was an absolute blast! It's super satisfying when the group is in sync and able to get a difficult 4-5-6-7 grouping. There's definitely a sweet spot of players around 4-5; I could see it getting really difficult with all 8. But still a great game and really fun to come up with inventive situations for your number.

I bought this game on a whim, having no idea how much fun it would be. It's become a new family favorite! There are so many cards and scenarios, and many of them make people say absolutely hilarious things. We play with 6 people, but more would be even better. The low and high numbers are easy, but 3-8 can be pretty hard to get in the right order. We don't even pay attention to how many cards we go through in a game, we just play until we get sick of it (which is usually an hour or more). I would highly recommend!

It's a neat and fun game, but felt a little half baked.1. It's hard to recall which player said which sentence.2. The 1-10 ranking is inconsistent if 10 is max or least.We ended up writing names of the players on each card with a white board marker on the back of each card as it's in play. We also revised the play so that 10 is best or max and 1 is worst or least. The premise of the game is great, but it felt like a beta version that needs polishing prior to production.

This game is so fun!! Had us laughing hysterically. Really great with a large group. The prompts were very comical
