Long time lurker here who's collected every Exploding Kittens expansion (everything except Recipes)

I was struggling to figure out a convenient compact way to carry around all my cards, so I designed a 3D printed box for it! The lid snaps shut so that your cards won't fall out, and I've also designed little dividers so you can separate out different types of cards.

It fits all the cards from the Base Set + Party Pack + Imploding + Streaking + Barking + Zombie + Good v Evil + EXTRA room for future expansions! And as you tell from the video, it's designed for card sleeves as well :)

Not tryna sell anything at all since it's completely free for anyone to download and print. Just tryna give back to the community!

If, like me, you were curious what the differences in cards are for the new Recipes for Disaster box and all the other releases then you've come to the right post. I own all the exploding kittens stuff, and I just bought the Recipes box so here we go.

FYI - My comparison has to do with the types of cards, not the artwork, although not much has changed.

I will BOLD the differences.

Base Game + All expansions = OG

Potluck: RD=0 | OG=2

Favor: RD=0 | OG=4

Curse of the Cat Butt: RD=0 | OG=2

Tower of Power: RD=0 | OG=1

My Opinion:

Not that anyone asked, but my opinion is that i'm not exactly thrilled with the set. The change in card counts is fine, but I would have liked to see the Tower of Power, Curse of the Cat Butt, Favor, and Potluck cards. I understand cards like the Curse of the Cat Butt aren't everyones favorite. In the Barking Kittens rulebook, the creators even said "We really wish we had never released this card, BUTT we did..."

Since this is a box that is meant to change up the game with recipes, I wish the cards were included so we could create different game modes with them because the aforementioned missing cards could could really change the game in interesting ways, but that's just my opinion.

Edit: The Recipes for Disaster is $25 at Target which makes it a good deal since the base game is ~$20, Streaking Kittens is ~$5, Imploding Kittens is ~$15, and Barking Kittens is ~$15. I still think the missing cards are deal breakers but for $25 its worth considering.

Edit 2: Example of a recipe

Every card with unique artwork/subtitle across every exploding kitten game, expansion pack, etc.

I made this sheet to help me keep track:

I don’t have the deck of legends and the tacocat variants from every language, but I didn’t bother counting those since those were never printed en masse for the former, and would be realistically impossible in the latter.

It’s pretty good and I’m only on episode three
