Zombie Kittens marks the seventh iteration of the iconic Exploding Kittens game and it introduces an entirely new way for people to play. For players ages seven and up, Zombie Kittens features all-new art and new cards, and it helps to expand the original Exploding Kittens deck so that groups of up to nine can play together.
After introducing the Zombie Kittens expansion to the original Exploding Kittens game, Exploding Kittens was presented the People’s Choice Award for Best Variant at UK Games Expo 2022. This game expansion introduces the most highly requested feature in the game: player resurrection. With this expansion to the original card game, players can now explode and then come back to life once again, and the cycle continues. The fast-paced game takes about 15 minutes to play and mere minutes to learn.
