Netflix also is launching three other games, available starting May 24:

“Exploding Kittens – The Game” features original artwork by The Oatmeal. Radar reveals to players the position of the Exploding Kitten card closest to the top of the card deck and Flip Flop reverses the order of the cards in the deck. The Netflix game introduces two new exclusive cards: Radar and Flip Flop, which let players manipulate the deck in new ways. In the kitty-powered game of chance, players draw cards - until someone draws an exploding kitten and blows up. That said, Exploding Kittens is still one of the most entertaining experiences that you can enjoy, either alone or with friends.“Exploding Kittens – The Game” lets you play alone or with up to five friends (who must be Netflix customers as well). The only problem with this Exploding Kittens app is that it includes 'improved cards' that offer advantages to people who either play a ton or spend real money on their decks. To play any card, you just have to drag it to the center of the screen.

You can check and see the effects your cards will have at any time by touching them while they're in your hand. On your turn, you'll be able to play as many cards as you want to try to avoid picking up any cards from the deck. The gameplay is practically identical to the original card game. You need to try to use the cards in your hand to avoid drawing one of the 'exploding kitten' cards, while also attempting to place them in the draw pile for your rivals to pick up on their turns.

The premise of Exploding Kittens is simple: in the draw pile, there are certain cards that will make you 'explode.' In other words, if you draw one of these cards and don't have another card to 'defuse' the bomb, then you'll lose the game. Exploding Kittens successfully takes the experience from the original card game and brings it to smartphones to enjoy on the go, anytime and anywhere. Exploding Kittens is an incredibly fun card game based on one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns of all time: the card game by the same name, created by the famous illustrator The Oatmeal.
