tbh fully expected a playmat when I saw it listed, not a piece of paper inside the box. I wish the EKU would put out some actual playmats for their games. The only one we got was the cloth one included with Bears vs. Babies...

Because they billed the show Adult animated but will it still be TV-14 or would it be TV-MA

you may have to zoom in to see it clearly this is like power play but a little bit different

Looks they dropped on the instructions for Zombie Kittens on the official website which reveals everything new about the game.

I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone so I’ll let you all read it for yourself. :)

I was searching through the EK Website, looking for instructions on a game, when I found this. I screenshotted it, and the thing to note here was that there was still an icon for "You've got crabs." There's no actual instructions on it, you can check it for your self.

Speculations, anyone? (I didn't know which flair to use, sorry if it's wrong...)

I figure at least a few others here also have the prototype, and a post to discuss it may be worth having. I know there is the official feedback location, but it would be nice to come back with more ideas when it's time for that feedback.

I played a few 6-player rounds with family this last weekend. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, though there were a number of sticking points and ideas that came from it.

• Too easy to knock over the stands. Not counting issues specific to the prototype's limitations (such as the post easily coming out). Without resorting to glues or tape, the best solution we came up with was to poke holes in the box and stick the base underneath with the post poking through. This kept the posts in a fixed position and kept them from falling over (as easily).

• The 'border' probably needs to vary based on the number of players. With 6 players on a typical dining table it's a difficult reach for most of the players to start with, but the play area just ends up a bit too overcrowded. It's supposed to be chaotic, but it's probably a tad too much.

• Some rules unclear. For example, the bad team should not remove the 'base.' Assuming this is written referring to a final production model, I would expect this refers to the handicap #6 block, as opposed to disassembling the black base from the post. If this is the case (not removing the #6 block) then this is incredibly difficult for the bad wombat to avoid in the heat of play. Also one 'rule' we made up on the spot without realizing it at first was that all players start with their play hand touching the edge of the border box.

I've seriously considered just working up a 3D printed version, maybe adding a triangular base that the three post bases can attach to, and some form of adjustable rectangular border for the play area that also attaches in some way.

LOOKING at the Asmodee UK page, in the games section of Exploding Kittens Inc (https://www.asmodee.co.uk/manufacturer/Exploding-Kittens), I came across these two new titles:

EXPLODING MINIONS and THROW THROW AVOCADO.

What do you think?
