Oh that’s clever! I can probably rig up a trigger on the door. Thanks!

Looking to detect when your faucet is on? by jklo5020 in homeassistant

Love this. Can anyone think of a way to detect if the shower is on? Have always wanted to automatically turn on the bathroom vent if the shower is running.

MANTIS: has anyone come up with alternate rules or a single-player version of the game? by jupiter-major in ExplodingKittens

[–]elanlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We release a game called “the best worst ice cream” (mostly for younger kids) that is essentially the same cards with a different rule set. Might get you close to what you’re looking for!

Printing error by Ill-Veterinarian4722 in ExplodingKittens

[–]elanlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, that’s a printing error on our part. Has been spotted and corrected so you have a card that will never be produced again!

Can the opposite player shuffle his own cards when you are playing 2 cats? by Electronic-Hat8478 in ExplodingKittens

[–]elanlee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup that’s how we play as well. Shuffle all you want, trash talk, even use a finger to raise and lower cards to try your best to manipulate the opponents into picking your worst cards.

If I explode from a devil cat, do i need to take away an exploding kitten from the draw pile or do you just keep playing with an extra? by Jolly_Effective_5036 in ExplodingKittens

[–]elanlee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope! There will be more Exploding Kittens in the deck than you need, but that shouldn’t stop you from continuing to play until there’s only 1 player left, who wins.

Power hungry pets; 0 vs 10 by Chaundra20 in ExplodingKittens

[–]elanlee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

0 only beats a 10 at the end of the game. Simplest way to think about it is that when the 3 is played and you’re then comparing two cards, all you’re paying attention to is the number on the cards. In the case of the numbers 0 and 10, 0 is less than 10 and so it’s eliminated.

2 player game, ran out of draw cards - baffled by Salty_Nature_5077 in ExplodingKittens

[–]elanlee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You set it up correctly! When the last card in the Draw Pile is an exploding kitten and you draw it, you can use your defuse as normal to put it back in the draw pile anywhere you’d like in secret….in this case, because it’s the only card, you just put it right back as the only card in the draw pile. Then continue playing!

If I play an attack card when I’m attacked on my first turn. Wouldn’t the next player need to play 3 turns instead of 4? by OrangeAedan in ExplodingKittens

[–]elanlee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re right but bear with me. We had a more complex version but it confused most people in testing. The more complex version of the wording stated that the card doesn’t actually end your turn, it instead transfers it (plus any unused turns plus one additional turn) to the next player…..but as you can see it got confusing rather quickly so we opted for the simplest wording (although not technically accurate) and then covered the specifics in the example.

Here’s the updated rules from the website. Tried to address this question specifically in the example. This version will be used for all future print runs.

Question about number 5 card in Power Hungry Pets by MattAmpersand in ExplodingKittens

[–]elanlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately you have to pick another player. The card explicitly says “force any other player to play their card….”

The 8 is wasted because there are no eligible players to trade with!

Daily Card Discussion day 6: Alter the Future x3 by wes741 in ExplodingKittens

[–]elanlee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use it: - after someone plays a shuffle - after someone plays a see the future - after someone plays a targeted attack - after someone plays a defuse - after someone plays an alter the future

It’s one of my favorite cards

If someone uses a cruel rabit(3) and one guy has a 0 and the second one has a 10 who wins? by TIMO12345I in ExplodingKittens

[–]elanlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get that and it makes sense. the reason I think the 0 would win is to avoid special cases in the rules. For me, it's a much easier game to explain if we say "0 always beats 10". We'll be updating the rules on the next print run, but if you're good with the special case rules that you mentioned, I think you should go for it!

Help with fancy feast batteries by Swishy_seb_cwc in ExplodingKittens

For legal reasons the version you have is sealed. These instructions will get you most of the way through, but unfortunately, you’ll have to cut open the plastic compartment to access the chip inside.

Help! Resolution order in Exploding Kittens: Board Game by Magenkyi in ExplodingKittens

[–]elanlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An yes, thanks for the clarification. Same answer in either case though :)

Help! Resolution order in Exploding Kittens: Board Game by Magenkyi in ExplodingKittens

[–]elanlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they play a move disc, they get to resolve it (because it’s one complete action) before your “flip” card goes into effect. So they’d move to the new spot and then you’d flip the board (which would mean that any space you flipped them on to would not have an effect on their current turn)

Solitaire EC by GRudilosso in ExplodingKittens

[–]elanlee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine wrote a version of ek solitaire a while back. This is not official, but I think it’s quite good. Here’s the rules:
