You guys in the UK what did your emails say? Mine said shipping soon, did yours?
Lee 2015-07-31T07:11:57-04:00
Arrived today woop. Epic card game. Been laughing all morning looking through the cards. My secret surprise is broken though? Was confused about what it was so open the secret compartment up realized what it was. Meh it still GOD DAMN EPIC.
Sheldon - "The Allergic" 2015-07-31T07:11:58-04:00
Email this morning at 02:00ish saying it's going to be dispatched soon - delivered 5 min ago.
woo hoo! Hope you all get yours soon too!
Kyle Stubbs 2015-07-31T07:13:19-04:00
Just concerned because I'm out today so I don't want to miss it and have to go and collect it, I'm too excited for that!!!!!!
Jon Hawkes 2015-07-31T07:13:40-04:00
@Kyle mine said shipping in next few weeks, arrived at 1000 this morning - awesome! I love that sleeved cards fit perfectly in the box, although only the main deck, not sure where to put my NSFW cards yet.
Christopher 2015-07-31T07:16:27-04:00
My beautiful exploding kittens just got delivered today and I burst into tears. Joyous tears, for the smile you've placed upon my little face is priceless.
I love the personalised 'shipping leaflet', I love the box you never had to make for us, I love the 'surprise' inside the box, I love the brutal simplicity of the instructions leaflet, and I love these bastard little kitten cards. I'll be hoping to blow some up later.

Paul Smout 2015-07-31T07:33:17-04:00
UK, mine arrived this morning.
Still waiting for notification email telling me when they will be arriving.
That's modern technology for you.
James Brown 2015-07-31T07:42:24-04:00
IT'S HERE!!!
I'm really impressed, you guys did a superb job on this, well done.
phil 2015-07-31T07:42:52-04:00
Anyone in Europe outside the UK who got their kittens today? Germany is waiting :O
sergeant fuzzyboots 2015-07-31T07:45:27-04:00
@phil I was told i will be waiting two weeks for my kittens( I live in the UK)
Lastof 2015-07-31T07:46:25-04:00
Another UK arrival. Got the email shortly after midnight last night and thought "well, no chance they will make July. Early August is still much better than anything else I've backed in terms of being on time". But here it is today. I've never had a kickstarter deliver on time!
If your surprise is "missing" or not, uh, "firing" (difficult to explain without spoiling it) make sure it's "eye" is correctly lined up with the appropriate hole. It wasn't in either of mine (the packaging box was also slightly battered, though the card boxes inside survived fine, packaging worked) so possibly they got shaken out of place. I cut some of the cardboard from my packaging to use in the bottom of it's area so that it can't come out of alignment again.
It is in there, there is already cardboard above it to keep it in place, which at first I mistook for something that should have been replaced with it!
TheRootOfAllEvil 2015-07-31T07:49:08-04:00
Just got here in the UK as well. Pre-August. Only one of my *cough* Kickstarters to achieve everything they set out to do. 11/10 Would Explode Kittens again.
Lastof 2015-07-31T07:49:50-04:00
@phil Royal Mail International Standard lists 3-5 working days as the shipping time, so assuming they were all shipped out yesterday I'd guess the rest of Europe should expect it early next week.
Crimsonwolf 2015-07-31T07:56:43-04:00
Remember to tell all those nah sayer about this kickstarter and how it pretty much delivered what it promised and then some.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-07-31T07:57:12-04:00
Received my confirmation email....can't wait ... Should arrive by Tue ...... Be back then......
Mike Kabala 2015-07-31T08:05:41-04:00
Mine is in town being transferred from FedEx to USPS. Hopefully out for delivery later today.
phil 2015-07-31T08:08:00-04:00
@Lastof
Okay. Next week would be awesome! Hype! :)
Kate 2015-07-31T08:21:42-04:00

Mark Buckley 2015-07-31T08:22:21-04:00

thanks!
Joe Stacey 2015-07-31T08:25:16-04:00
My kittens are here! Delightful, cute, burning little bundles of fluff...
Fire brigade on standby.
Jason Rainbird 2015-07-31T08:27:30-04:00
Without wishing to spoil the surprise for anyone, would someone please get in touch with me about the secret extra?
Andru Keel 2015-07-31T08:27:49-04:00
Wow now that was fast! Update and email from Blackbox yesterday. Arrived today in Sheffield, UK! Love the box and surprise! You guys are awesome!
Brett Dalis 2015-07-31T08:28:55-04:00
Mine is coming tomorrow and I LITERALLY CANNOT WAIT I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!!!!
Slaughtermane Games 2015-07-31T08:33:43-04:00

Unfortunately my super secret thing doesn't seem to work. :(
sergeant fuzzyboots 2015-07-31T08:36:51-04:00
Got my kittens blackbox lied that said it would here in two weeks
Dave Sexton 2015-07-31T08:41:14-04:00
Mine just arrived :)
Unfortunately the super-secret thing has just scared the hell out of our non-exploding cat.
Robert Gill 2015-07-31T08:59:01-04:00
Mine arrived earlier along with several other copies other people in the office had ordered! Just played a couple of games really fun! Thanks! :D
Thomas Veilleux 2015-07-31T09:02:52-04:00
Is there somebody in Canada that have a tracking active in Canada post? Mine show nothing.
Sarah Wallis 2015-07-31T09:03:24-04:00
Amazing! I'm in the UK and it arrived today! So excited for my bf to get home so we can have a game or two :D
Mark 2015-07-31T09:31:04-04:00
My "secret surprise" already stopped working :(
Pete Davidson 2015-07-31T09:35:39-04:00
What's the secret surprise? >_>
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-07-31T09:40:52-04:00
@Pete, they can't tell you, unless they kill you, so its up to you... ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-07-31T09:43:25-04:00
@Thomas, my tracking working, it shipped from Toronto on the 29th.
Luna Rose 2015-07-31T09:50:02-04:00
Would be great if we could get the pictures used to make the inserts. Would make a great wallpaper for my work pc. Unfortunately the black and white photocopy is too low quality.
Robert D Cullen 2015-07-31T09:50:04-04:00
AHHHHH!!!! It says it out for delivery today!!!!! Can't wait!! Thank you!!!!!
Alistair 2015-07-31T10:01:00-04:00
My copy turned up in UK today, the quality is amazing. I found the custom cartoon on the invoice most amusing :)
Alistair 2015-07-31T10:02:12-04:00
plus the secret freeked me out the first time i opened the box.... wasnt expecting that!
Strike my last comment, they did arrive today :) Amazing work guys, now time to get those kittens exploding!
Lord Zombitten 2015-07-31T10:12:20-04:00
Well, since I have at least two functioning brain cells, I can say with confidence that I know exactly what the secret surprise is, despite not having mine yet. Thanks, everyone. I'm going to pout in the corner now.
@LZ: Don't worry, there is a special place in heaven for people like that. I would have said hell....but I've already got a non-refundable down payment on a lava front property with a view of the throne.
Should have mentioned, I already have plans for that throne as well.
Richard Anderson 2015-07-31T10:19:49-04:00
My Exploding Kittens arrived today to the UK :)
Thank you so much, great presentation & I look forward to playing the game later tonight!
Also - the "extra" OMG. SO GOOD. THANK YOU. HAVE MY KITTENS.
chris manning 2015-07-31T10:23:09-04:00
arrived today in the UK, sadly my magnetic box was damaged in the post - is there anything i can do to get a replacement?
Lord Zombitten 2015-07-31T10:24:21-04:00
Ooooh! GM, you're invited to the BBQ, then!
When I was in high school, the girl I liked would always read trashy romance novels. I joked with her that she was damning her soul to hell by reading them. She replied that I was doing the same nu listening to my "awful" heavy metal. At that point, we started making plans for a post-damnation BBQ. It'll be the talk and envy of hell. All my friends who can make it are invited.
@LZ: Don't worry, my body keeps telling me I'm old, but my brain keeps telling it to STFU...and high school for me was only 10 years ago. I even avoided the stupid reunion that was help in June.
Judgement Dave 2015-07-31T10:33:14-04:00
Just got mine (in the UK) - excellent little surprise!
Well done on doing a great job on time - especially as it ended up so much bigger than you expected.
Cheers
JD
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-07-31T10:33:54-04:00
@GM, I'm sure it will be in around the same time! No worries! Oh, and about that throne, there may be an issue there... >;)
@BaKhan: We shall see...I have cookies, so I think I have a step up on you. ;)
Lord Zombitten 2015-07-31T10:38:23-04:00
I graduated 13 years ago. The BBQ plans were set in motion 16 years ago (my sophomore year) maybe it was 15 years ago. Either way.
Lord Zombitten 2015-07-31T10:38:58-04:00
Cookies!? Bring them to the 'cue!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-07-31T10:46:26-04:00
@GM, I don't know... ;) I'm bringing Toffee Blondies! In your face cookies!
Sam Horrell 2015-07-31T10:51:17-04:00
My kittens arrived safely through royal mail today without a single fatality. The game looks great and a very fun surprise. Can't wait to play it. Great job.
Jason Filer 2015-07-31T10:52:43-04:00
My kittens arrived today and I love the surprise and the packing slip! :)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-07-31T10:54:43-04:00
@LZ, damn, you feel old? I graduated 22 years ago! But, I have accepted the fact that this age thing is a losing proposition. The upside? I own a house and only have a small mortgage left, I own a new car, outright, got a decent job with senority... Life is far from over and its been pretty damn good to me so far, all things considered.
Roger Garner 2015-07-31T10:57:28-04:00
Didn't get an email from Blackbox saying it had shipped... but that just made the surprise when my kittens (itching to explode) arrived this morning (UK) :)
Very cool surprise, certainly got the attention of those around me in my office... shortly afterwards I exploded after a wayward kitten was drawn. Excellent timing, off to a LAN with friends this evening... these kitties are coming with!
Lord Zombitten 2015-07-31T10:57:35-04:00
Glad to hear it, BaKhan. I'm not too far behind. I should be hearing news about a possible promotion today.
Ah, crap! I have to be at work in three minutes, and I'm still here!
Adrian Bashford 2015-07-31T10:58:08-04:00
Thanks for the cards, they are far beyond expectations! Love the surprise (actually startled me) and you even went the extra mile on the packing slip!! The Exploding Kittens team rocks!!! Exclamation mark!!!!
johnaln 2015-07-31T11:07:42-04:00
Now thats some good organisation, the day after you announce shipping (UK), fastest delivery I've seen here, great work.
Just got to get playing
Luke Stowell 2015-07-31T11:08:14-04:00
OMG, just unboxed my kittnes !!! Cannot wait for my wife to get home from work to see who explodes first !
Chris 2015-07-31T11:14:05-04:00
You said you'd deliver in July, and so you have. Mine arrived this morning :) Am I the only person who would really like a hi-res colour version of the packing slip? Hell, send me the file and I'll get it printed myself!
Do I pay 1000 euros for a show/breed cat (yeah right), or 600 for the same but spayed? It must be some kitty either way. So, I'm going on a three-hour drive tomorrow to meet her... I have no idea what to do, really. She's a cutie.
Lord Zombitten 2015-07-31T11:25:06-04:00
That's a tough one, I/W
HB 2015-07-31T11:32:15-04:00
One of the NSFW Nope cards has a grammar issue. You never say "an nice" anything; "a nice" would be correct.
SilencedScream 2015-07-31T11:33:59-04:00
Refund needed. I don't want a typo on my card. :|
Kidding. :D
My cards went from an expected delivery on Monday to being on the truck for delivery right now.
Melissa 2015-07-31T11:35:18-04:00
Aww I'm reading all these comments that people have their kittens :( I have to wait a few more days. Right now they're in Minnesota and making the trek to South Dakota.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-07-31T11:35:51-04:00
@Idle, how can you put a price tag on life? If you click with the kitty, thats what matters! Money is only money, it in and of itself is nothing, the things it can help facilitate, such as getting a new fur child, are priceless. The biggest thing for me on buying an animal of that callibure would be the pedigree, how healthy is the line?
Rastaban 2015-07-31T11:40:51-04:00
WOOOHOOOO it arrived, I totally didn't expect to have it the day after the announcement. Great timing I have people staying the night I can now coerce into playing. I figured the surprise would be something lame instead it is the best gift ever. Christmas in July? THANKS!
John Manek 2015-07-31T11:51:29-04:00
I absolutely love the emails about the delivery date and from blackbox lol. The art is awesome and always gotta laugh. I got my tracking number just waiting patiently for it.. Hope those kittens don't blow up the delivery truck before they get here..
Jacob Packer 2015-07-31T11:53:36-04:00
so here is what i really appreciate. well lots of it. But these guys made out like bandits on kickstarter. so much money. but they made sure this was a really good experience. Overnight shipping! super high quality! hiring extra staff. I love it. I'm so happy with how no expense was spared, which probably cost them a couple hundred thousand dollars more. thats pretty cool
Lloyd Claypool 2015-07-31T11:55:41-04:00
The delivery speed was awesome thanks so much!
One of my explosion cards arrived with a small white tear on the back which is a bit of a bummer as its technically 'marked' but hey ho, not the end of the world.
Oh, and damn you and your 'secret surprise'!
TanRAWR 2015-07-31T11:57:28-04:00
MINE ARRIVED! IT IS AMAZING! ... I'll stop shouting now and go KILL SOME KITTEHS!!!!
Pep, Local Drunk of Valoria 2015-07-31T12:00:52-04:00
Got mine just minutes ago. LOVE the surprise. Thank you so much for an awesome campaign. You all delivered what was promised and then some. Thumbs up guys.
LexC 2015-07-31T12:03:24-04:00
And the UK delivery is in... JULY!!!! YOU ROCK!
Got home from work and was greeted by a certain Kitten :) LOVE the surprise, what a great idea!! Well done for all your hard work and for keeping all your promises! From now on all the Kickstarer projects will be judged by an EXPLODING standard! You might have just ruined the rest of Kickstarter for me :P
Again, THANK YOU and I can't wait for your next Kickstarter project!
LexC 2015-07-31T12:04:15-04:00
PS. Just in time for the LAN Party, we'll take a break to EXPLODE some KITTENS that's for sure!
Dawn Tazare 2015-07-31T12:11:33-04:00
Mine arrived this morning before I went out. So just now finding out the 3rd parcel in pile was for me and that it was my kittens I was amazed. Loving the surprise but also the personal "letter" enclosed too. you guys went above and beyond through the whole process. Thanks a million.
Darrell Hiler 2015-07-31T12:16:40-04:00
The Kitten are here! WooHoo!!! Thanks... t has been a great fun ride! Happy Dance going on!
Michael Anderson 2015-07-31T12:17:46-04:00
The kittens exploded all over my work
Lord Zombitten 2015-07-31T12:18:00-04:00
BaKhan makes a good point. I got a chartreux for free after someone abandoned him at 2 weeks old, presumably because of his messed up eye. You all heard of him. He was GIR.
Jessica Lankford 2015-07-31T12:19:40-04:00
Super excited that my kittens should arrive on Tuesday...I just happen to have friends coming over that night, woo!
Yeah, I guess you're right. Now onto the clicking part...
Michael Kidd 2015-07-31T12:25:00-04:00
I AM COVERED IN KITTEN GOO! (Ontario, Canada)
James "Hellguin" Williams 2015-07-31T12:26:03-04:00
I just had my pack of kittens hand delivered with the utmost care, sitting atop the heads of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison, I would just like to say that the shipping paper is amazing and is going to be framed for my house, and that I look forward to opening the box when my girlfriend gets home to see "the surprise".
Epicderpguy 2015-07-31T12:29:28-04:00
Wow I haven't seen these many people since... Well since the campaign was still running.
Andrew Weber 2015-07-31T12:30:14-04:00
Got mine. Ottawa Canada! You guys are awesome. Looking forward to trying it out at our weekly gaming session next week.
I'm with James, I'll be framing my shipping paper! Too funny!
James "Hellguin" Williams 2015-07-31T12:39:19-04:00
@Andrew Weber and would we expect anything else from these three? I think not. I am extremly happy with the outcome of my first backed kickstarter.
Michael Stamler 2015-07-31T12:45:26-04:00
Did anyone receive there package that had no tracking information? I got the email, but when I track the package on Canada Posts site, It's says they cannot find the tracking number in the system.
Big kev 2015-07-31T12:57:05-04:00
Got mine, Cambridge England looks great
Erik Downie 2015-07-31T12:57:45-04:00

E. Lynne Fitzmorris 2015-07-31T12:58:36-04:00
Great Kickstarter! Absolutely love the packing slip!
You guys in the UK what did your emails say? Mine said shipping soon, did yours?

When I was in high school, the girl I liked would always read trashy romance novels. I joked with her that she was damning her soul to hell by reading them. She replied that I was doing the same nu listening to my "awful" heavy metal. At that point, we started making plans for a post-damnation BBQ. It'll be the talk and envy of hell. All my friends who can make it are invited.
Wow, that was 16 years ago! I feel old.
@LZ: Don't worry, my body keeps telling me I'm old, but my brain keeps telling it to STFU...and high school for me was only 10 years ago. I even avoided the stupid reunion that was help in June.
Just got mine (in the UK) - excellent little surprise!
Well done on doing a great job on time - especially as it ended up so much bigger than you expected.
Cheers
JD
@GM, I'm sure it will be in around the same time! No worries! Oh, and about that throne, there may be an issue there... >;)
@BaKhan: We shall see...I have cookies, so I think I have a step up on you. ;)
I graduated 13 years ago. The BBQ plans were set in motion 16 years ago (my sophomore year) maybe it was 15 years ago. Either way.
Cookies!? Bring them to the 'cue!
@GM, I don't know... ;) I'm bringing Toffee Blondies! In your face cookies!
My kittens arrived safely through royal mail today without a single fatality. The game looks great and a very fun surprise. Can't wait to play it. Great job.
My kittens arrived today and I love the surprise and the packing slip! :)
@LZ, damn, you feel old? I graduated 22 years ago! But, I have accepted the fact that this age thing is a losing proposition. The upside? I own a house and only have a small mortgage left, I own a new car, outright, got a decent job with senority... Life is far from over and its been pretty damn good to me so far, all things considered.
Didn't get an email from Blackbox saying it had shipped... but that just made the surprise when my kittens (itching to explode) arrived this morning (UK) :)
Very cool surprise, certainly got the attention of those around me in my office... shortly afterwards I exploded after a wayward kitten was drawn. Excellent timing, off to a LAN with friends this evening... these kitties are coming with!
Glad to hear it, BaKhan. I'm not too far behind. I should be hearing news about a possible promotion today.
Ah, crap! I have to be at work in three minutes, and I'm still here!
Thanks for the cards, they are far beyond expectations! Love the surprise (actually startled me) and you even went the extra mile on the packing slip!! The Exploding Kittens team rocks!!! Exclamation mark!!!!
Now thats some good organisation, the day after you announce shipping (UK), fastest delivery I've seen here, great work.
Just got to get playing
OMG, just unboxed my kittnes !!! Cannot wait for my wife to get home from work to see who explodes first !
You said you'd deliver in July, and so you have. Mine arrived this morning :) Am I the only person who would really like a hi-res colour version of the packing slip? Hell, send me the file and I'll get it printed myself!
Damn. I'm in quite a predicament right now...
Do I pay 1000 euros for a show/breed cat (yeah right), or 600 for the same but spayed? It must be some kitty either way. So, I'm going on a three-hour drive tomorrow to meet her... I have no idea what to do, really. She's a cutie.
That's a tough one, I/W
One of the NSFW Nope cards has a grammar issue. You never say "an nice" anything; "a nice" would be correct.
Refund needed. I don't want a typo on my card. :|
Kidding. :D
My cards went from an expected delivery on Monday to being on the truck for delivery right now.
Aww I'm reading all these comments that people have their kittens :( I have to wait a few more days. Right now they're in Minnesota and making the trek to South Dakota.
@Idle, how can you put a price tag on life? If you click with the kitty, thats what matters! Money is only money, it in and of itself is nothing, the things it can help facilitate, such as getting a new fur child, are priceless. The biggest thing for me on buying an animal of that callibure would be the pedigree, how healthy is the line?
WOOOHOOOO it arrived, I totally didn't expect to have it the day after the announcement. Great timing I have people staying the night I can now coerce into playing. I figured the surprise would be something lame instead it is the best gift ever. Christmas in July? THANKS!
I absolutely love the emails about the delivery date and from blackbox lol. The art is awesome and always gotta laugh. I got my tracking number just waiting patiently for it.. Hope those kittens don't blow up the delivery truck before they get here..
so here is what i really appreciate. well lots of it. But these guys made out like bandits on kickstarter. so much money. but they made sure this was a really good experience. Overnight shipping! super high quality! hiring extra staff. I love it. I'm so happy with how no expense was spared, which probably cost them a couple hundred thousand dollars more. thats pretty cool
The delivery speed was awesome thanks so much!
One of my explosion cards arrived with a small white tear on the back which is a bit of a bummer as its technically 'marked' but hey ho, not the end of the world.
Oh, and damn you and your 'secret surprise'!
MINE ARRIVED! IT IS AMAZING! ... I'll stop shouting now and go KILL SOME KITTEHS!!!!
Got mine just minutes ago. LOVE the surprise. Thank you so much for an awesome campaign. You all delivered what was promised and then some. Thumbs up guys.
And the UK delivery is in... JULY!!!! YOU ROCK!
Got home from work and was greeted by a certain Kitten :) LOVE the surprise, what a great idea!! Well done for all your hard work and for keeping all your promises! From now on all the Kickstarer projects will be judged by an EXPLODING standard! You might have just ruined the rest of Kickstarter for me :P
Again, THANK YOU and I can't wait for your next Kickstarter project!
PS. Just in time for the LAN Party, we'll take a break to EXPLODE some KITTENS that's for sure!
Mine arrived this morning before I went out. So just now finding out the 3rd parcel in pile was for me and that it was my kittens I was amazed. Loving the surprise but also the personal "letter" enclosed too. you guys went above and beyond through the whole process. Thanks a million.
The Kitten are here! WooHoo!!! Thanks... t has been a great fun ride! Happy Dance going on!
The kittens exploded all over my work
BaKhan makes a good point. I got a chartreux for free after someone abandoned him at 2 weeks old, presumably because of his messed up eye. You all heard of him. He was GIR.
Super excited that my kittens should arrive on Tuesday...I just happen to have friends coming over that night, woo!
Yeah, I guess you're right. Now onto the clicking part...
I AM COVERED IN KITTEN GOO! (Ontario, Canada)
I just had my pack of kittens hand delivered with the utmost care, sitting atop the heads of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison, I would just like to say that the shipping paper is amazing and is going to be framed for my house, and that I look forward to opening the box when my girlfriend gets home to see "the surprise".
Wow I haven't seen these many people since... Well since the campaign was still running.
Got mine. Ottawa Canada! You guys are awesome. Looking forward to trying it out at our weekly gaming session next week.
I'm with James, I'll be framing my shipping paper! Too funny!
@Andrew Weber and would we expect anything else from these three? I think not. I am extremly happy with the outcome of my first backed kickstarter.
Did anyone receive there package that had no tracking information? I got the email, but when I track the package on Canada Posts site, It's says they cannot find the tracking number in the system.
Got mine, Cambridge England looks great
Another delivery here in the UK!
yessss. this morning - received email stating my E.K. will be sent out in the next two weeks.
later this morning: Postman whistles up the path, drops me a parcel -
ITS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Kickstarter! Absolutely love the packing slip!
