Also, on that note, I can finally call it an end to my day. Now, if only I hadn't had to work this boring holiday Monday, then things would have been fantastic.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-03T18:53:27-04:00
I get to go home now, also!
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-08-03T19:14:19-04:00
It's leaving Kansas!!!!!!!!
Black Moth 2015-08-03T19:24:34-04:00
arrived this morning. yay :)
Donald Stanley 2015-08-03T19:25:05-04:00
You said that delivery in July was made, so why did my notice from Black Box say that my game will ship in a few weeks?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T19:32:44-04:00
You're the first person to say a few weeks, Donald. They said if it isn't out by tuesday, then to ask them what's up, so I'd contact the support team.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-03T19:39:44-04:00
@Donald, did you have a late pledge manager, or a change of address?
David Rout 2015-08-03T19:39:53-04:00
Just arrived Melbourne Australia. :)
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-03T19:40:41-04:00
@Doc, so what your saying is...
It's not in Kansas anymore?
Andrew Wilson 2015-08-03T19:48:48-04:00
I got mine today, but . . . What's the surprise?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T19:51:24-04:00
Andrew: It's... (monty python's flying circus. Just a sec, gotta do this first:)
SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT
HOLY GOD IN HEAVEN HE'S ABOUT TO TALK ABOUT THE SURPRISE IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET HIDE THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN BECAUSE THIS WILL RUIN IT FOREVER!!
It's the meow when you open the box. If it didn't do it, you need to open it in a lighter area. If that didn't work even, try readjusting it so the light sensor is under Tacocat's right eye.
Alex monroe 2015-08-03T20:03:38-04:00
Why is everyone upset with the time it's taking just be fricking happy that it is coming
John Schwarz 2015-08-03T20:05:30-04:00
I'm in the same boat as Donald; "Your backer reward for the Exploding Kittens Kickstarter project will be shipping in the next couple weeks." Confirmation and receipt back in May.
I suspect our packages weren't de-fused and exploded somewhere along the line. Ha ha. But, waiting until tomorrow (Tuesday) as requested before sending email seeking resolution.
Larry Maday 2015-08-03T20:06:31-04:00
I'm wonder what the surprise is suppose to do? I opened it up and nothing. Any help would be great.
Michael Pruden 2015-08-03T20:08:25-04:00
Larry... Look a couple responses down
Nick Gardner 2015-08-03T20:09:52-04:00
On time and awesome quality. Keep my on your mailing list for any other projects you do. I'll back anything you guys come up with.
Thanks!!!
Andrew Wilson 2015-08-03T20:14:57-04:00
Micah, thanks! That worked!
TJ Pulliam 2015-08-03T20:15:20-04:00
I got my kitties!!!!!!!!! These are great guys!!!! Me and my wife laughed as we went through all the cards and plan on plauing it later on! Thanks again for a great project!!!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T20:25:18-04:00
Awesome, Andrew! Have fun with it! Though I don't know what else you'd do with this game.
I realized this game is even perfect for playing against yourself! I'd reccomend 2 hands, but this is from a person who beat himself in Chess, making him either astoundingly clever or inconceivably stupid. I honestly don't even know.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T20:25:50-04:00
Larry, what Michael said. ;)
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-03T20:28:41-04:00
Tacocat loves the sun. Take him to a lighter room
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-08-03T20:37:32-04:00
They are not in Kansas anymore !
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-08-03T20:40:35-04:00
Btw I read all of the wonderland books......other than the first the sort of suck......
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-08-03T20:40:55-04:00
Wonderland....I mean ozz.....
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-08-03T20:41:59-04:00
Wizard of oz......(just finished wonderland books ...they were ok )
Rachel Coleman/Two Little Hands 2015-08-03T20:44:03-04:00
Happy day!!! Kittens are exploding EVERYWHERE.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-08-03T20:45:44-04:00
Side note .... Just taught my kid spiderpig and now he's singing it with his guitar....
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T20:45:46-04:00
Speaking of classics like that, assuming you meant the Wizard of Oz, d'ya see the new Peter Pan movie coming out? It's supposed to be the "origin story", but it's absolutely nothing like origin story made by Disney themselves, the creators of the movie, Peter and the Starcatchers. Which I love alot more than the regular Peter Pan story for some reason. But if they made that book, why make a movie completely different from the story you yourselves made?!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T20:47:25-04:00
First of all, Spiderpig. Awesome!
Secondly: Singing. With his guitar. Talented kid ya got there. Sell him to a circus or something. Or maybe the guitar is talented and you should sell it for 3.82593261 million dollars.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-03T20:50:29-04:00
It's that extra 61 cents that really make it worth the sale price
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-08-03T20:50:50-04:00
Lol he is 2.5 I think I'll have to wait a bit longer before he is sellable
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T20:52:05-04:00
No, see LZ, it was actually on sale: 39 cents off!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T20:52:28-04:00
2 1/2 and he's best friends with a magic singing guitar?! Dude, put that shit on youtube!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-03T21:02:10-04:00
It could be bigger than that sideshow Honey Booboo and family!
Justine Hartz 2015-08-03T21:18:47-04:00
The surprise in my box stopped working after 2 uses. ��
David MacDonald 2015-08-03T21:20:52-04:00
Kind of bummed that I got the wrong custom invoice. That would have been neat. Mine was for some guy named Erik in Illinois. I'm David and live in Florida. :-(
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T21:21:36-04:00
Justine: Sigh, not again. SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT
Try opening it back in a brighter/sunnier area. If that doesn't work, maybe the sensor is messed up, so try shifting it so the sensor is under Tacocat's right eye.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T21:22:48-04:00
That's happened once before, David. But with 220,000 people to ship to, it's bound to happen by accident. Maybe the guy in Illinois has yours and you can be pen pals or something.
Mark Glasby 2015-08-03T21:25:21-04:00
My surprise thingy doesn't work for either of the copies I bought. Can this be replaced?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T21:30:31-04:00
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SURPRISE, READ THE COMMENTS BELOW, ESPECIALLY WHERE IT SAYS SPOILER ALERT.
Mathew Bell 2015-08-03T21:37:31-04:00
@David A couple of people have had that problem. What most people are suggesting is that you mail the invoice that you got to the right person, and hope the person who got yours is awesome enough to do the same. I say it sounds like a pretty solid idea. I would do that if mine had been wrong.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T21:37:41-04:00
7:36 pm and it feels like 2 am judging by how tired I am. KHAAA- i mean DETASSELIIIIIIING!!!!!
Stupid having to sleep early to wake up at 3:45 am every morning. And it's over now! Almost as good as the 8 month wait for the kittens being over 2 days beforehand!!!
This is what I have been doing .....
A world without my kittens is a boring one....
Adam Hawkinson 2015-08-03T21:43:10-04:00
Went to my order tracking for the hundredth time to see where my package was for scheduled delivery tomorrow....and it was delivered. Walked to my mailbox, opened it...and they were there. THE KITTENS HAVE LANDED! XD

David Guidry "Doc" 2015-08-03T21:47:35-04:00
I'd eat it.....bacon heart that is
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T21:54:38-04:00
Eat your heart out, Doc! It's like when Robin Williams talked about the different types of heart for bypass surgery. I couldn't find the show, but it was an awesome part.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T21:55:04-04:00
Couldn't find the stand up show and that part of it to put here I mean.
David Leonard 2015-08-03T21:55:55-04:00
Yay! My game has arrived (yes)!
Gilles 2015-08-03T21:57:55-04:00
YOU NEED LIGHT FOR THE SURPRISE TO WORK!!!
I am really like the extra million you added for that really does something for me. My brother and mother thought they broke it and took a little while that there is a light sensor for it to work.
But what i really like is the receipt you put at the bottom of the box that was something i was not expecting. That was a personalized touch which was extremely lovely of you guys.
Thank you,
Gilles
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T22:02:29-04:00
SUPRISE ALERT IN THE COMMENT BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta be careful about that, Gilles. IF YOU DON'T WANT A PART OF THE SURPRISE RUINED AND HAVEN'T GOTTEN YOUR GAME YET, DON'T READ THE COMMENT BELOW!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-03T22:05:41-04:00
Zem, that's not much of a spoiler. The official clue Bella told me to give people is "Tacocat likes the sun. Try opening your box where it is brighter, and see if that fixes things. ;)" For most people, that does the trick!
Matthew Diggens 2015-08-03T22:06:29-04:00
MEEOWWWW !!!
Love it !!
Just received my Exploding Kittens here in South Australia
PanterA ... Forever Stronger Than All
@Zem: With what a lot of the inconsiderate people have said regarding the spoiler, I could easily say what it does, how it works, and with a 90% certainty, what it looks like.....and mine are still lost somewhere in the land of Toronto.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-03T22:11:05-04:00
@GM, I was able to do the same before I got mine. Of course, I fell victim to reading a comment that spelled out exactly everything about it.
Lily Amanda Schleicher 2015-08-03T22:11:44-04:00
Does anyone know if you can still expect to receive the decks and box and surprise if you turned in your survey late? I was 'unplugged' for a while.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-08-03T22:11:56-04:00
@GM I'm still "in the dark" about the suprise so...shhhhh
@Lily: Your best bet is to follow the instructions the Lord Zombitten will post momentarily(guarantee he will as he has it copied to paste easy).
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T22:17:18-04:00
Lily, you should, though you'll get it late. If you're really not sure, at least if you don't recieve your email from Blackbox by tomorrow as they said, then email support@explodingkittens.com with a concise subject line just to be on the safe side.
LZ, I made sure to stay safe and didn't read them at all!
Also, you know how you can take the faceplate off of a lighter and make the flame huge? Yeah. I made the flame go 9 inches high by accident. BEST ACCIDENT EVER!!!!!! And in the blowtorch upgrade kit I talked about awhile back, http://www.scamstuff.com/products/pocket-torch, the flame is literally as big as some blowtorches! It barely visibly goes through the fluid in the lighter!
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-08-03T22:20:18-04:00
I may have to disown my wife.... She just told me that she is going to open the kittens while I'm at work and send me a picture of the suprise ........
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-03T22:29:59-04:00
Emailing Blackbox can also be a good idea if you want to know about when your fulfillment will take place.
SHIPPING/FULFILLMENT (wrong address, wrong/incomplete order, wrong packing slip, etc.) backers can get more immediate help by reaching out to our fulfillment help team directly: explodingkittens@support.blackbox.cool
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-03T22:31:29-04:00
Welk, Zem, I was pretty sure what the surprise would be from day one, so I decided to take one for the team and read slotje comments to give help where it was needed and warn innocents of spoilers
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-03T22:33:53-04:00
And a detailed subject line is best. Keep it concise, yes, but get all relevant details in there
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T22:37:00-04:00
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-03T22:41:20-04:00
@LZ, are you still waiting for your cards?
Lily Amanda Schleicher 2015-08-03T22:42:04-04:00
Thanks guys!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-03T22:44:26-04:00
No, I just thought about what it could be (and what I would do), considering it appeared to be attached to the box. I arrived at the only logical conclusion.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-03T22:45:03-04:00
@Trinkets Nope, I got mine on Friday
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-03T22:48:55-04:00
Ok, good. Doc and GM are still waiting. Any other corps members still waiting that you know of?
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-08-03T22:49:47-04:00
Mine should arrive on Wed..I hope
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-08-03T22:50:12-04:00
So says the FedEx website anyway.....
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-03T22:51:36-04:00
I think all the others have theirs. Of course, I haven't heard from the professor, Cha, Tchotchke, Da Wolf, or a few of the others
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T22:52:56-04:00
Well I figured some other great ideas, some may have taken some work, but been even more worth it, so I had no clue what it was. Though the idea someone had of a buzzer like the timer for Catch Phrase you could click and it would go "Meow... *BOOM*" was an amazing one someone had just before they shipped. That would've been so amazing! We should make one!
`
Well, it's now an hour after I, for the last 2 1/2 weeks, had to get ready for bed and it already feels like 2 am, so I'll just toddle off then. (Dang, looked so hard for Nigel from the Africa scene in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen when he says that and Quatermain comes out, but it's not here, so watch the movie and imagine me saying that and toddling off then)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-03T22:53:58-04:00
I think most members are taking their vacations until they get theirs so as not to spoil anything. Maybe later in the week we'll have some surprise cameos of long-lost pals.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-08-03T22:56:18-04:00
Iv managed not to think about what the suprise is.....if I think to hard I'll figure it out.....so I think of other things all day...and only read members comments.....Btw thanks for the spoiler warnings everyone....I read from top to bottom .....
Cory Painter 2015-08-03T23:00:46-04:00
So excited, I got my decks in the mail today... Upon opening the box the "surprise" made me jump a bit... But my cat took immediate interest and bolted on over, after using the surprise several time it drove my car nuts... He hissed and yowled and ran to hide...most reaction I've gotten out of him in years... "Surprise" was a success...
DAMN IT ZOMBITTEN! Now you ruined the ruined surprise for me. D:
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-03T23:31:02-04:00
I fave a spoiler alert
Warton Chieng 2015-08-03T23:31:21-04:00
... i had this delivered to work and needless to say, everyone looked at me as soon as i opened the box. LOL.
Thanks guys!
Michael Ahlf 2015-08-03T23:35:44-04:00
So my box arrived... Blue shipping box wasn't taped shut... red normal box was not shrinkwrapped... is it a shipping issue or is that normal?
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-03T23:36:06-04:00
Damn autocorrect. *gave
*sips from chicken cup
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-03T23:36:51-04:00
Michael, that seems to be fairly normal
Rachael Foster 2015-08-03T23:55:29-04:00
I have a really sticky situation!! I had to move out of the blue and set up a forwarding address through USPS before they were shipped, but my box was shipped to my old address regardless! It was too late to change the address on the survey.. I clicked on the tracking and it says it's delivered. What happens now?? I really want my kittens! I backed this so long ago, I was afraid of this happening :(((
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-03T23:57:31-04:00

Wait? The surprise was supposed to be a surprise? ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-04T00:21:58-04:00
I'm supposed to get mine tomorrow!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-04T00:22:17-04:00
Nope, that's why some nice people decided to make sure it wasn't
Rachael Foster 2015-08-04T00:30:08-04:00
Thanks so much Zombitten!!
Ty Grove 2015-08-04T00:31:29-04:00

Lord Zombitten 2015-08-04T00:35:42-04:00
Christopher, look at my comment above your last comment; I said what the surprise is/was
CrackerAxe 2015-08-04T00:46:56-04:00
I am stunned! I received my copy yesterday, in Australia! I am so used to getting a delivery months after everyone else. Well done! Best Kickstarter ever!
The Right Hand of Doom 2015-08-04T01:11:38-04:00
You guys did an absolutely AMAZING job with this game. Not only did you make good on all of your promises, but the game is hilarious, great fun, and the packaging is fantastic and whimsical. Plus, you guys did it all so quickly. Seriously, you guys did such a great job. Thanks for all your guys' hard work.
Also, on that note, I can finally call it an end to my day. Now, if only I hadn't had to work this boring holiday Monday, then things would have been fantastic.
I get to go home now, also!
It's leaving Kansas!!!!!!!!

You said that delivery in July was made, so why did my notice from Black Box say that my game will ship in a few weeks?

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SURPRISE, READ THE COMMENTS BELOW, ESPECIALLY WHERE IT SAYS SPOILER ALERT.
I'd eat it.....bacon heart that is
Eat your heart out, Doc! It's like when Robin Williams talked about the different types of heart for bypass surgery. I couldn't find the show, but it was an awesome part.
Couldn't find the stand up show and that part of it to put here I mean.
Yay! My game has arrived (yes)!
YOU NEED LIGHT FOR THE SURPRISE TO WORK!!!
I am really like the extra million you added for that really does something for me. My brother and mother thought they broke it and took a little while that there is a light sensor for it to work.
But what i really like is the receipt you put at the bottom of the box that was something i was not expecting. That was a personalized touch which was extremely lovely of you guys.
Thank you,
Gilles
SUPRISE ALERT IN THE COMMENT BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta be careful about that, Gilles. IF YOU DON'T WANT A PART OF THE SURPRISE RUINED AND HAVEN'T GOTTEN YOUR GAME YET, DON'T READ THE COMMENT BELOW!
Zem, that's not much of a spoiler. The official clue Bella told me to give people is "Tacocat likes the sun. Try opening your box where it is brighter, and see if that fixes things. ;)" For most people, that does the trick!
MEEOWWWW !!!
Love it !!
Just received my Exploding Kittens here in South Australia
PanterA ... Forever Stronger Than All
@Zem: With what a lot of the inconsiderate people have said regarding the spoiler, I could easily say what it does, how it works, and with a 90% certainty, what it looks like.....and mine are still lost somewhere in the land of Toronto.
@GM, I was able to do the same before I got mine. Of course, I fell victim to reading a comment that spelled out exactly everything about it.
Does anyone know if you can still expect to receive the decks and box and surprise if you turned in your survey late? I was 'unplugged' for a while.
@GM I'm still "in the dark" about the suprise so...shhhhh
@Lily: Your best bet is to follow the instructions the Lord Zombitten will post momentarily(guarantee he will as he has it copied to paste easy).
Lily, you should, though you'll get it late. If you're really not sure, at least if you don't recieve your email from Blackbox by tomorrow as they said, then email support@explodingkittens.com with a concise subject line just to be on the safe side.
LZ, I made sure to stay safe and didn't read them at all!
Also, you know how you can take the faceplate off of a lighter and make the flame huge? Yeah. I made the flame go 9 inches high by accident. BEST ACCIDENT EVER!!!!!! And in the blowtorch upgrade kit I talked about awhile back, http://www.scamstuff.com/products/pocket-torch, the flame is literally as big as some blowtorches! It barely visibly goes through the fluid in the lighter!
I may have to disown my wife.... She just told me that she is going to open the kittens while I'm at work and send me a picture of the suprise ........
Emailing Blackbox can also be a good idea if you want to know about when your fulfillment will take place.

Welk, Zem, I was pretty sure what the surprise would be from day one, so I decided to take one for the team and read slotje comments to give help where it was needed and warn innocents of spoilers
And a detailed subject line is best. Keep it concise, yes, but get all relevant details in there
How'd you guess, a bffl email from Elan hinting at it like this guy? https://www.youtube.com/watch…
@LZ, are you still waiting for your cards?
Thanks guys!
No, I just thought about what it could be (and what I would do), considering it appeared to be attached to the box. I arrived at the only logical conclusion.
@Trinkets Nope, I got mine on Friday
Ok, good. Doc and GM are still waiting. Any other corps members still waiting that you know of?
Mine should arrive on Wed..I hope
So says the FedEx website anyway.....
I think all the others have theirs. Of course, I haven't heard from the professor, Cha, Tchotchke, Da Wolf, or a few of the others
Well I figured some other great ideas, some may have taken some work, but been even more worth it, so I had no clue what it was. Though the idea someone had of a buzzer like the timer for Catch Phrase you could click and it would go "Meow... *BOOM*" was an amazing one someone had just before they shipped. That would've been so amazing! We should make one!
`
Well, it's now an hour after I, for the last 2 1/2 weeks, had to get ready for bed and it already feels like 2 am, so I'll just toddle off then. (Dang, looked so hard for Nigel from the Africa scene in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen when he says that and Quatermain comes out, but it's not here, so watch the movie and imagine me saying that and toddling off then)
I think most members are taking their vacations until they get theirs so as not to spoil anything. Maybe later in the week we'll have some surprise cameos of long-lost pals.
Iv managed not to think about what the suprise is.....if I think to hard I'll figure it out.....so I think of other things all day...and only read members comments.....Btw thanks for the spoiler warnings everyone....I read from top to bottom .....
So excited, I got my decks in the mail today... Upon opening the box the "surprise" made me jump a bit... But my cat took immediate interest and bolted on over, after using the surprise several time it drove my car nuts... He hissed and yowled and ran to hide...most reaction I've gotten out of him in years... "Surprise" was a success...
Still didn't get my deck :(
what was the super secret surprise
@Christopher Nellini
SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT
The super secret surprise is the meowing tacocat
DAMN IT ZOMBITTEN! Now you ruined the ruined surprise for me. D:
I fave a spoiler alert
... i had this delivered to work and needless to say, everyone looked at me as soon as i opened the box. LOL.
Thanks guys!
So my box arrived... Blue shipping box wasn't taped shut... red normal box was not shrinkwrapped... is it a shipping issue or is that normal?
Damn autocorrect. *gave
*sips from chicken cup
Michael, that seems to be fairly normal
I have a really sticky situation!! I had to move out of the blue and set up a forwarding address through USPS before they were shipped, but my box was shipped to my old address regardless! It was too late to change the address on the survey.. I clicked on the tracking and it says it's delivered. What happens now?? I really want my kittens! I backed this so long ago, I was afraid of this happening :(((

My previous comment is from the EK team and is not intended to imply that I am a member of said team, since I am not.
Wait? The surprise was supposed to be a surprise? ;)
I'm supposed to get mine tomorrow!
Nope, that's why some nice people decided to make sure it wasn't
Thanks so much Zombitten!!
Just got mine, it looks awesome, can't wait to play it
Just got mine!!
MEOW!!
What was the surprise?
Christopher, look at my comment above your last comment; I said what the surprise is/was
I am stunned! I received my copy yesterday, in Australia! I am so used to getting a delivery months after everyone else. Well done! Best Kickstarter ever!
You guys did an absolutely AMAZING job with this game. Not only did you make good on all of your promises, but the game is hilarious, great fun, and the packaging is fantastic and whimsical. Plus, you guys did it all so quickly. Seriously, you guys did such a great job. Thanks for all your guys' hard work.
