That Escalated Quickly is a new card game from Exploding Kittens that challenges up to eight players to work together and put wacky answers in the right order. The game starts with one player reading a question card, which sets up a wild scenario. From there, players are assigned a secret number, which determines how they'll answer the question. No matter who wins or loses, there will be laughter had by all.
For this reimagined version of Top Ten, the 2022 Spiel Des Jahres (German Game of the Year) nominee from Cocktail Games, Exploding Kittens rewrote all 160 questions and refreshed the design of the cards to help one of Europe's most popular party games reach a North American audience.
