Unboxing Barking Kittens Expansion
/
Today we will be unboxing an expansion to the popular game Exploding Kittens called Barking Kittens. This is the 3rd official expansion to the game and is preceded by Streaking Kittens. Let’s dive in and see what all comes in the box.
For one thing. Exploding Kittens has had a passable way to store all the expansions in one place as the begin to pile up. However, this time around the amount of cards is a little too much to add to my entire collection storage of the original Not Safe for Work version of the game. The fact that this now comes in a large box is very nice. I can fit all the cards from the expansions and the several random cards released over the years in one place.
The contents of the box contains a Tower of Power piece that reminds any exploding kittens player of the other Cone of Shame piece from the Imploding Kittens expansion.
Barking Kittens is for Base Game Only
The backs of the cards are red and not the party pack design, so like most expansions so far, this expansion is exclusive to the base game version unless you take the time to use card sleeves for your cards. You can get a pack of 200 of them on Amazon should you choose to go this route using the link here: https://amzn.to/2Up8QtV
New Cards In Barking Kittens
With this expansion though comes the new additions of the now cards that allow for play on other players turns, the Barking kitten itself, a share the future as well as some other new unique cards to this expansion. There are several repeats from past expansions as well such as the Super Skip card, but for the most part there is a healthy amount of new features for the price of the expansion.
The cool effect of the now cards really adds to the chaotic nature of the game. In addition the Ill take that card is really fun to play as well. Why? Because this card still chances a player at receiving an exploding kitten from someone else’s draw, yet at the same time, can be used to get that top card that might be the defuse or combo card you are looking for.
Overall this is a good expansion that refreshes the game with some kitten cards that don’t explode you. I am looking forward to what else Exploding Kittens will have to offer in the future. I am not the biggest fan of the large game pieces such as the Tower of Power or the Cone of Shame as these generally don’t make the trip when playing as it involves separate storage and some players don’t enjoy wearing them.
