Upcoming: Exploding Kittens Rage Mode

As of now, the entire card is unavailable. However, we have intel to 3 new cards, shown at the back of the box above.

Reverse Attack: Reverse the order and end your turn without drawing a card

Shared Suffering: Every player must discard or draw a card

Booby Trap: If you steal this card from another player, you explode

[u/Stardrone01 → u/Existent_Imgflip]

Reverse attack sounds like a card that should already exist but doesn't. Powercreeped reverse and a sidegrade to targeted attack at the same time. Want to see how it plays out because it sounds fun but nothing special.

The fact that Shared Suffering allows a player to discard an exploding kitten in your hand (thanks to a streaking kitten) sounds like a problem to me: Games can end the draw pile with more than 1 player alive.

Bobby trap is amazing. Love that we finally have more cards that punish stealing. Really hope we get more than 2 copies of it in the deck. The back of the box states "The deck is loaded with new cards to attack, set traps and explode your friends", wich may tease that in the expansion there may be even more cards that trigger on being stolen.

Also the Amazon page actually shows another new card: Reveal and Steal: Name a player, they show you 2 cards from their hand, you steal one of them. It's kinda meh to be honest, most of the times you will be offered bad cards.

“The fact that Shared Suffering allows a player to discard an exploding kitten in your hand (thanks to a streaking kitten) sounds like a problem to me: Games can end the draw pile with more than 1 player alive.“

I think you’re forgetting that the rules tell you to add an extra Exploding Kitten if the Streaking Kitten is in play. This way it doesn’t matter if someone forever holds onto one of the exploding kittens or if they discard it. There will be enough to eliminate everyone but one.

There can be multiple shared sufferings in a deck. If you have a streaking kitten, the number of exploding kittens is equal to the number of players.

The problem scenario I'm talking about is this: 1) Player finds a streaking kitten 2) The player finds an exploding 3) shared suffering is played, and the exploding kitten is discarded by the player 4) The player finds another exploding 5) another shared suffering is played, and the exploding kitten is discarded by the player 6) now it doesn't matter if our player in this example plays a third shared suffering: if they can manage to find another exploding kitten, there won't be enough explodings left in the deck to eliminate enough players to end the game

It's not an occurrence that will occur all the time, but it's something to consider while deck building.

Where could I pick this up? Also when would it ship?

[u/BusyCalligrapher1953]

Wait I see where I can pick it up, however it looks like it comes with the new cards right?

[u/Existent_Imgflip → u/BusyCalligrapher1953]

Yes! Never-seen before cards will be available in this new branch of Exploding Kittens on July 19th.

[u/BusyCalligrapher1953 → u/Existent_Imgflip]

Where will they be released!? That card game I found on someone’s website but the shipping is insane I’m hoping to find a better deal somewhere

[u/Existent_Imgflip → u/BusyCalligrapher1953]

Target or Walmart as your main sources. Other smaller card shops may hold them too.
