Here's the set-up for this silly card game perfect for kids who love to argue: The white cards represent characters and the black ones stand in for attributes. May need a moderator to explain the instructions and keep the game going ![]() Number of Players: 4-8 | Duration: 30-75 minutes | Recommended Age: 12 years and up If you win a round, you get to keep the green card, and the goal is to rack up a certain number of cards, which is based on how many people are playing. Note that the goal is to wow the judge (you can argue your point), so that might mean picking a combination that you suspect they will appreciate-for example, "glamorous BigFoot" might trump "glamorous supermodel" for the right judge. The other players must then put down the red card that they think fits best with the green one in play. The judge flips over the top green card and reads it aloud. Each player is dealt seven red cards, while the green ones are left in the draw pile. The basic premise: Red cards list nouns (people, places, things, events), and green ones have adjectives. ![]() In this fun and familiar game, players take turns being the judge, which little ones will appreciate as it helps balance out the power dynamics. Some pop culture references may go over kids' heads Number of Players: 2-5 | Duration: 15 minutes | Recommended Age: 7 years and up Obviously, there's a fair amount of luck and chance, but we found that you'll also need to strategize as you figure out which cards to play when, and as the draw pile gets smaller, your chances of pulling an exploding kitten get larger, thus increasing the tension quickly. Even the text on the instruction sheet is fun and slightly silly. ![]() We found the pictures hilarious, and they added a big fun factor to the game. Most people attracted to this game will love the ridiculous drawings of bats farting or cats shaped like hairy potatoes, all in Matthew Inman’s signature humorous style. That might mean defusing with a "kitten yoga" card, deploying the "weaponized back hair" card, or playing your "rub the belly of a pig-a-corn" card, which allows you to peek at the top three cards in the pile. How do you play Exploding Kittens? You pick from the draw pile, and if you pull an exploding kitten card you're out unless you can use another card in your hand to take action. This popular, 15-minute game, which is described by its founders as "a highly strategic, kitty-powered version of Russian roulette," has sold millions of copies and we can see why. Some themes may be unsuitable for younger players
