Fan Creation Card #14 of Marked Kittens - DOUBLE CENSOR

Post image
3 Upvotes

The purpose of Double Censor is it to make all cards you play on your turn un-nopable. It also prevents opponents from playing cards with NOW, like Alter the Future NOW. Double Censor is not played in response to a nope - it must be played BEFORE an opponent an opponent nopes your card.

This effected started as just a single use Censor in another set I made. It was cool, but very weak. You also never knew when you it actually did prevent something, so it felt even weaker than it was. Giving it 'Double' is the boost the card needed to be a solid D or low C tier card.

I recommend no more than 1 in a deck.

Discussion Which deck should i buy as my fist deck?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I love playing classic EK a lot but i didnt buy my own deck until now. I played regular EK and NSFW before and had lots of fun.

I want to buy my first deck but couldn't decide which one to buy so i would appreciate some help.

I am thinking of buying RfD because it has cards from different decks as i understand. But how does it work? Should i also other decks, is it missing some essential cards? Or should i buy the regular one and some extensions? Which works the best? Thanks in advance!

Question How to chose the cards for a deck?

I am going to play Exploding Kittens with my friends next week. I would like to know if there are any lists of cards to make a balanced deck for 10 players. I have 2x Exploding Kittens, Zombie Kittens, Good vs Evil, Imploding, Streaking, and Barking Kittens.

Fan Creation Card #13 of Marked Kittens - DOUBLE CLAIRVOYANCE

Post image
6 Upvotes

Marked Kittens experiments with making low power cards playable twice. It turns out, this makes some cards quite good. Several were cut from the set for being overpowered. But not Clairvoyance! OG Clairvoyance from Zombie Kittens is so bad, that Double Clairvoyance is still like a D. I enjoy it much more now though.

I also took the liberty of changing the wording a little. OG Clairvoyance only worked when a Zombie Kitten was played. This version also works when you play a Defuse, so its playable in any deck. It also works with Bury, and any other card that puts a card secretly into the deck.

Deck Arrival Exploding kittens expansions

I think this was a great expansion set. More cards with fresh humour and more card types to mess around with. The set comes with 4 packets. Streaking kittens was disappointing as only 2 new cards are there from the set, the rest are same as the original streaking kittens expansion.

Zombie had entirely a new set of 20 cards which is great. And the same goes for Aggro and Creepy which were entirely new.

This is a must get (not a standalone).

I think we can all agree it’s a good card but the question is how good? If someone plays a shuffle because they don’t trust you it’s not going to be better than an alter X 3 for you. Still I try to limit the amount of these.

But how often do you use this card? And do you think it’s too broken?

Fan Creation The exploding kittens variant to end all variants

2 Upvotes

This is a combination of exploding kittens variants, there's a post much like this this was from my old account, welcome to the latest and greatest version of my exploding kittens version working name ultimate kittens, it's basically a house rules compilation, if you want me to add credit then just ask. Edit, major update coming soon I'm getting new versions, that means more custom cards integrated into the cat cards which you can learn more about by reading it, the currency was made of random objects that's why the amount of different denominations is so weird.

Fan Creation Card #12 of Marked Kittens - CURSE OF THE CAT FACE

Post image
13 Upvotes

This can be a pretty brutal card. Don't play this one if you don't enjoy overpowered, player killing cards.

Here's how it works, lets say you play this on an opponent with this hand:
Skip
Skip
Shuffle
Cat card
See the Future
Defuse

That player MAY choose to mark any of those cards. They can choose to mark none, all, or any number in between. Then on their next turn, they can ONLY play marked cards. Of course, marking cards leaves them open to steals, so the right move is usually to mark at least 2 cards that can get you out of a jam, in case one gets stolen. With the above hand, the player may choose to mark Skip, Skip, and Shuffle in case one or two get stolen. But they can't play their Defuse because they didn't mark it!

Because the effect is OP, it is only usable on a player with 6 or more cards in hand.

How do you feel about this card? What kind of deck would you put this in?

I thought it was fun at first but it doesn’t really help the person who gets it if it’s played by itself. If you have a way to steal that’s at best a 3 card combo for maybe a good card. I honestly think for the most part it might be better to hold onto as steal bait fodder or to use with another to steal a random card.

However with the new set rage mode there’s extra ways to steal cards. Has anyone tried this in a deck with the rage cat and bad decisions?

Anyways if a buffed version of this card came out one day I wouldn’t be upset.

Fan Creation Card #11 of Marked Kittens - DOUBLE FORGET

Post image
9 Upvotes

Double Forget is a skip that can only be played on an opponent. This is useful in the early game when the chance of drawing an exploding kitten is low, and players WANT to draw cards. It is also a good play after an opponent has manipulated the top cards of the deck with something like an Alter the Future.

Discussion Poor wording on exploding kittens

5 Upvotes

I love the game, but what is up with some of the unclear wording on some of these cards? It's confusing for players who don't know the game yet. Almost all of these problems could have been fixed with clearer wording on the card itself.

Cat cards - they say what a pair does, but not what 3 of a kind does

Nope - doesn't say you can't nope a defuse

Favor - 'a player' is vague. Should be 'choose a player'.

Dig deeper - doesn't say this ends your turn, thought i'm pretty sure its supposed to.

Clairvoyance - says to use after a player plays a zombie kitten. But it should be usable after a defuse also right?

Curse of the cat butt - the way its written, you can still use your defuse with being blind, because you have drawn a card. But pretty sure thats not how it really works.

Grave robber - unclear if you can play it if all players are still alive.

Godcat - 'playable as any card in the game'... does that mean any card in the deck or any exploding kittens card that exists?

Personal attack - unclear if your current turn counts as one of the 3.

Tower of power and barking kitten - these should not have 2 versions, especially barking kitten. Confusing!

Gameplay My ultimate Exploding Kittens Deck

6 Upvotes

I was searching around for a good way to combine every Exploding Kittens game and expansion but never found it so I figured to make my own deck. Below is the deck for anyone else looking to make their own ultimate deck:

Exploding Kittens (51 cards)
All base game cards minus the defuses (gets removed with Zombie Kitten). If you have more than 5 players or want a longer game you could always add these back though.

10 Year Celebration Bonus Cards (8 cards)
These cards aren’t necessary and are pretty broken but my group is kinda crazy and likes the chaos. For anyone wondering, these bonus cards are the following:
- Amateur Archeology
- Creepy Peeky
- Hip Cat
- Hip Bat
- Plus Plus
- Robin Hood
- Battle Hamster
- The Twins

Most of these cards come from the deck of legends. But they printed them for the 10 Year Celebration game box they made.

Imploding Kittens (20 cards)

Streaking Kittens (15 cards)

Barking Kittens (20 cards)
I actually have the original version of barking kittens where you steal half the players hand instead of exploding, which I think works better for this mega game.

Cat Burglar Edition (0 cards)
We are just taking the Cat Burglar mechanic and plush out of this edition as the deck itself is pretty much the same as the base game.

Zombie Kittens (22 cards):
- Up to 5 Zombie Kittens
- 3 Attack of the Dead
- 2 Clairvoyance
- 2 Clone
- 4 Dig Deeper
- 2 Feed the Dead
- 1 Grave Robber
- 1 Shuffle (Now)
- 2 Super Skip

This is actually just the same if you bought the small expansion pack, however if you have the full game you can simply just pull these cards out.

Good vs Evil (16 cards):
- 1 Godcat
- 1 Devil Cat
- 4 Feral Cat
- 3 Armageddon
- 2 Raising Heck
- 3 Reveal the Future
- 2 Targeted Attack

Rage Mode (15 cards):
- 3 Bad Decision
- 3 Reveal and Steal
- 2 Alter the Future (Now)
- 4 Booby Trap Kitten
- 2 Shared Suffering
- 1 Reverse Attack

If you so wish you could choose to include the remaining 2 Alter the Futures, 3 Reverse Attack, Shared Suffering, Bad Decision, and Reveal and Steal cards for a total of 23 cards but I chose to cut these to stay in the ballpark of the other expansion sizes.

Also if you have the version with the Unnopeable Nope you can include that card as well.

Creepy Kittens (11 Cards)

Aggro Kittens (11 Cards)

Curse You (18 Cards)
- All 4 Charms
- All 7 Curses
- Alter the Future
- 2 Draw From the Bottom
- 2 Peek
- 2 Targeted Attack

Fairy Pug Mother isn’t include due to it being removed from the game after all the packs are opened. In theory if you haven’t opened all the packs you could add it in, although I recommend playing Curse You alone until you have opened all the packs.

This makes a 204 (206 if you include Godcat and Devil Cat) megadeck! That being said you could always add more Exploding Kittens and defuses back in for more players if you want to play with more than 5.

If anyone has any recommendations or other ideas let me know, I would love to hear other people’s thoughts.

You can power up this card by giving your opponents info about your hand... but is it worth it?
It is also powered up by cards in your hand that are already marked, such as Double See the Future.
