Drawing creeper head-on while sitting in a chair, with face in shadows, petting Melificat, wuth wine in hand was quute the challenge. But, I think it worked out ok
Anyone seen the derp? I wanna make him feel bad before bed.

me neither, maybe he's feeding on krill

Maybe he's getting a barnacle scrub
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-01T17:06:52-05:00
So... I've either figured out all but two cards, or have five too many.
Looking through all videos, pics, interviews, and twitter posts I've identified 33 unique cards. 7 of them are 'Cat cards' which looking at game play pics likely need to be played in pairs. (there is some allusion to playing more at a time, but had not seen an 'action shot' of such) I know there are at least 3 of some of the cat cards, and likely more of all. So if there are 4 of each (making sense that they be played in pairs) I have a total of 54 (2 shy) cards. If there are 5 of each of the cat cards (playing 'at least a pair') then I have 61 (5 too many). Since there are no instructions on the cat cards, it would stand to reason that they all play some similar function that special rules are not needed for. If that's the case, having different numbers for each is unlikely. Lastly, it's also quite possible that 'Beard Cat' replaced one of the other types since I've only ever seen him in newer versions of the game. If that's the case, and there are only 6 cat types, and 5 of each then we get to the magical 56 cards.
(My guess is on 5 of each and I'm missing two somewhere)
Oh nothing much. A broccatten in the krill. And some coffee side effects in his bed. You know, the usual.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-01T17:19:15-05:00
That's 4 attacks, 5 defuse, 3 kittens, 6 future, 4 shuffle, 3 skip, 7 cats.
I would expect Cat's Schroedinger to be a shuffle card, making 5. So to 'even the deck out', the missing two cards could likely be an extra attack, and two skips. One of the future cards to be pulled. (Or some minor variation thereof)
Προφέσσορ Φ 2015-02-01T17:19:43-05:00
@ Tchotchke, the EK team will boot you out the campaign should you continue to reassemble the game before deployment
@Idle/Wild, you're too mild
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-01T17:25:33-05:00
There are no posted rules about reverse-engineering the deck. Considering the silence of the various game testers, they were probably asked not to say anything, but many were allowed to post pics or brief videos.
Besides, there are a number of important questions that make this nearly unplayable until they are answered. Chiefly among them, what the heck do the cat cards do? Also what is the order of a turn? The attack cards say to end your turn, but is that before or after drawing? Only shuffle and skip specifically say not to draw. Can you play an attack whenever? Can you see the future before drawing?
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-01T17:27:52-05:00
Also it should be noted that they've several times stated they were still game testing and balancing (especially to play two decks with the NSFW cards, maybe to make pairing cat cards more likely). Even if I had a copy of the current deck in front of me, my guess is that the final version would be different.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-01T17:36:49-05:00
Those potattens will kneecap you if you don't give them their money!
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-01T17:37:32-05:00

Eeee! I'm glad I'm on their side
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-01T17:51:49-05:00
They don't care what side you are on. They collect money from everyone!

11K comments! I haven't seen this many posts since Kingdom Death a few years ago.
I'm tracking the negative comments over at BGG and am stunned by the elitism of my board game brethren ~ this looks like a fun, fast-paced game which will definitely hit the table much more often than any of the 50+ war games, Arkham Horror, A Game of Thrones, or dozens of heavier card or board games. I'm completely impressed...it's quite a ride.
Cheers,
Joe

Hi Joe! Glad to have you here.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-01T18:09:01-05:00
It should be noted by one and all that I have, quietly, over the last several days been assembling 2 full divisions of Electro-Kittens created with full Powers of Tesla. Sparks for eyes, lightening bolts fly from their claw tips. They drive into battle in armor plated Tesla Model "S" sedans, five Electro-Kittens to a car. They are particularly effective against undead Kittens as Zombittens are particularly susceptible to catching fire. They do not do well when wet however.
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-02-01T18:10:01-05:00
Fear the POT Electro-Kittens!
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-01T18:10:25-05:00
Great work Powers of Tesla! They will be invaluable in the battles to come!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-01T18:14:53-05:00
So what you're saying is I need to be sure to bring water cannons to battle
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-02-01T18:15:17-05:00
I would like to add to our heroic forces my Chamittens. A Chameleon/Kitten hybrid that can blend into it's surroundings, as well as snatch cat nip out of the air from a distance of 10 feet. They would be most useful as scouts and spies.

Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-01T18:43:49-05:00
I envisioned one of each kitten type with the hittens on one side and vittens on the other. Maybe some explosions in the background, and a goat eating a spritten

Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-01T18:47:28-05:00
I don't know. I'm still wishy washy
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-01T18:48:13-05:00
I'm not sure, except for the spritten, which is being eaten by a goat in the bg
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-02-01T18:48:20-05:00
@Cha!
I'm not waiting. What I"m waiting for is the craziness of the last 2 days. And especially the last 2 hours. That's always fun during a big campaign. :)

*squints around* Is everyone watching the Superbowl?
And wait, there should be a nod to the Superbowl game as a card as well...kittens blowing up the stadium...hmmm or a defusion card by throwing the kitten a football to play with with some reference to the Patriots & Seahawks and who wins
Just EK dreaming...
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-01T18:51:19-05:00
I'm not watching it; I'm at work
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-02-01T18:51:40-05:00
I've got the superbowl on. Recording it to watch the commercials. :) And I had to watch the Jurassic World trailer right before the kickoff since a bunch of my shots were in there.
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-01T18:55:15-05:00
@Chameleon...thanks..I've never followed a campaign like this one or been involved as such
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-01T18:55:30-05:00
Your shots? You worked on that?
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-01T18:56:19-05:00
Well work & recording...everyone else is watching I guess. :) I'll watch the commercials laters
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-01T18:58:26-05:00
On the line of card thoughts...what about a ground hog day card? Hmmm never really understood the logic of seeing and not seeing his shadow
The kitten chases the ground hog back into his hole = ...hmm hmmm
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-01T18:58:58-05:00
@Chameleon...what shots?
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-01T18:59:42-05:00
Possibly a cat hog card?

It's tre-bono, u2 :)
we do appreciate your work Cheetos Overlord & DDD
@Wolf, what special ability are you talking about?
Not sleeping heheh

Oh well. I've left some surprises in his cave.
Way to go, Tchotchke!
wow Tchotchke, that's impressive investigative work. Tip of the hat
@Idle/Wild, what kind of perky surprises?
So I have to ask is potatten salad what happens if a bunch of potattens explode at the same time?
Exploding Kittens - TNT, Grenade, Nukes (unlikely to have extras as it's a 4 person game)
Attack cards - Bear-o-dactyl, Sasquatch Underpants, Thousand-year back hair, crab-a-pult
Defuse - Belly rubs, cat yoga, catnip sandwiches, kitten therapy, laser pointer
See the future - Goat wizard, special ops bunnies, unicorn enchilada, meat bikini, pig-a-corn, mantis shrimp
Shuffle - Abracrab Lincoln, EM Pomeranian storm, Bat Farts, [Unknown title]
Skip - Portable Chetah Butt, Hypergoat, [Unknown title]
Cat cards - Catterwocky, Hairy Potato Cat, Overweight Bikini Cat, Rainbow-Ralphing Cat, Tacocat, Zombie Cat, Beard Cat
Unknown - Cat's Schroedinger [Alluded to]
Oh nothing much. A broccatten in the krill. And some coffee side effects in his bed. You know, the usual.
That's 4 attacks, 5 defuse, 3 kittens, 6 future, 4 shuffle, 3 skip, 7 cats.

c yaz, going to bed too, pending updates from the Roachen deployments
Nighty nite Prof F - have dreams of spreading Cheetos worldwide.
