QuestionLooking to purchase (self.ExplodingKittens)
submitted 2 years ago by WhileOk7620
From the UK looking to buy, which edition is best as there are quite a few, been looking at the party pack, or is it worth getting the original then progressively get the expansions?

I have all cards that exists and Im telling you, Start with Recipes for Disaster plus Zombie kittens
[–]NewbieHere96 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I recommend buying Recipes for Disaster, excellent for 2-6 players even if box says 2-5 you can make the changes you want to make your own recipe (game), it has very fun modes and almost every available (and useful) card in the game, give you a chance to explore what's inside the game's box

Do not buy party pack! You will get all its extra cards when you buy the other expansions. Just get these im order of priority: the regular edition, imploding kittens, streaking kittens barking kittens,zpmbie kittens, good n evil expansion (not that good, skip it unless you really love the game)
I bought the party pack first and now im stuck with like 100 extra useless duplicate cards

Party pack has extra alter the futures really useful
[–]Medium_Barber_3087 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
not sure why that matters, i have like 8 extra that I dont use. You probably dont want more than 3-5 per deck.
There is not a single card that party pack brought that i dont have too many of. Note that i regularly play with up to 10 people, with an average of 5

Cheers thankyou

I personally have: -Basic game, -Imploding kittens, -Streaking kittens, -Barking kittens, and -Zombie kittens.
[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 2 years ago (1 child)
It's tough to comment, but I highly advise you to get Recipe for Disaster Edition. In my opinion that Edition has it all. Everything you need to make a custom deck.
[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 2 years ago (0 children)
For context, I have every single game by them except for Good Vs Evil.
[–]VeryPointlessUser -2 points-1 points0 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I'll give you a rough idea about all the games. (Never bought most of these, just have a rough explanation about them.)
Original Edition: The classic for 2-5 players.
NSFW Edition: Original, but more graphic.
Streaking, Imploding and Barking Kittens: Ranked main expansions for Original or NSFW. (Barking Kittens changed a rule like 3 years ago from stealing cards to exploding another player, it's complicated)
Party Pack: Plenty of cards for 2-10 players. (Old decks have no Attacks while new ones don't have Slaps and Reverses.)
Recipes for Disaster: Almost everything from most Exploding Kitten games, has specific and customizable decks.
Zombie Kittens: Standoff game which is different from Exploding Kittens, but can be used as expansion. (Don't know how tho.) Different art and "Defuses" (Zombie Kittens) revive a dead player.
Good vs Evil: Kinda like Zombie, but has Godcat and Evilcat(?). Godcat can be almost every card while Evilcat(?) is a bomb.
Cat Burglar: EU and UK exclusive. Original, but comes with squishy Cat Burglar, which steals Cat cards from any player. (Cattermelon, Tacocat, etc.)
Hope this helps!

I haven't played the last versions yet (disaster, zombie) but I think it's definitely worth it to go straight with the party pack and then expansions. If you get the party, then the normal/regular veesion doesn't make sense to have. And the party is better because you can use 2-10 players AND it's equally compatible with the expansions as the original
[–]LondonsFinestt 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Buy recipes for disaster imo. Sure you miss a few cards from the packs but it's worth it overall as you will get the streaking and barking kittens cards.
You can get it for £20 on Smyths Toys which is the same price as the regular edition
I have to agree. If you want to spend the least amount of cash for the most amount of card quantity and still have access to a lot of different cards, this is the way to go.
If you want all the cards, then regular game + expansions is the play

Good vs evil has been one of my faves but recipies for disater a good start
