About this game

Available exclusively for Netflix members.

Bring the catnip. Draw as many cards as you can, and do your best to dodge — or defuse — fatal felines. Or else, boom goes the dynamite!

In this multiplayer, kitty-powered game of chance, players draw cards — until someone draws an exploding kitten and blows up. Then that player is out unless they have a defuse card. Defuse cards allow players to neutralize furry foes with laser pointers, belly rubs, catnip sandwiches or other diversions. All of the other cards in the deck can be used strategically to move, mitigate or avoid. Featuring original art by The Oatmeal.

Ratings and reviews

The game is very frustrating! the card placement mechanic needs more work, half of the time when I try to place a card, i sometimes take one, and this also applies to other cards which don't work as they should. I don't even know why this game got released. it is very buggy and needs further development and testing. how awful! I do not see myself playing this game in the future unless it improves.

The gameplay is really fun and balanced, but the apps performance is unreliable. Sometimes, you can't use or grab a card from the deck, and sometimes, the game will use one of my cards even if I didn't want to. Also, there needs to be a 4 player and 3 player option for people who want to play quicker games and don't want to deal with people that are afk. UPDATE: the performance has worsened. Last week I could not join any matches. Now, the game crashes as soon as you open it.

Very buggy game. Will automatically make a move for you, even when you have another move to make. For example, will automatically play your attack card when you didn't want to, screwing up your strategy. Someone can essentially stop the game dead by not making their move (usually because they know they're going to lose). Game will freeze. Cards won't register being picked up. Probably a host of other issues but these are a few which happen to me on a regular basis.
