Description

Zombie Kittens is still the highly strategic, kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette that you love, but it introduces a brand new deck of cards so that your game doesn’t end just because you blow up. Only living players can win the game, but dead players now get to keep the cards in their hands when they explode. They also get to play certain cards to torment the living players. And they can even come back from the dead to win the game. Zombie Kittens can be played by itself or can be combined with Exploding Kittens.

Quotes (from this video)
  • This is probably the most complex game that I've mentioned so far because I'm omniamer.
  • It's just planning ahead and trying to see what other people are doing as well and then pivot your strategy is very tactical.
  • Ticket to Ride is more popular because it's more gateway.
  • Dixit is a really fun party game. It’s a ice breaker.
