"I love it when the kittens explode!"

So says Nathaniel, who really digs the latest addition to our game library. Our first foray into Exploding Kittens was a three-player game with Matthew, Nathaniel, and myself. I amassed four of the six Defuse cards (the only cards that allow you to stop the little kitties from exploding) en route to a victory. In the second game, we managed to rope Amy into the action (she finds the game's humor to be rather puerile -- duh!), and a clever bit of card-counting allowed her to kill me off early in the game. Nathaniel, a notorious card-hoarder, outlasted Matthew and Amy for the win. The boys are eager to introduce their cousins to the game, so I suspect we haven't seen the last of those volatile felines.
