From The Manufacturer

This Party Pack version of Exploding Kittens is still the same family-friendly, easy-to-learn card game as the original, but we’ve chosen some of our favorite cards from Exploding Kittens and the Imploding Kittens expansion deck to let you play with up to 10 players! In this highly-strategic, kitty-powered version of Russian roulette, players draw cards until someone draws an Exploding Kitten, at which point they explode, they are dead, and they are out of the game unless that player has a Defuse Card, which calms the volatile kittens using things like laser pointers, belly rubs, and catnip sandwiches. All of the other cards in the deck are used to move, mitigate, or avoid the Exploding Kittens. Exploding Kittens is the most-backed crowd funded product in history…which we hate to brag about.
