Michael Ahlf mine came the same way, not sure if it's intentional? Still, everything looks awesome! :)
Paul Long Jr 2015-08-04T01:41:43-04:00
Got it this evening, left one of mine unopened and immediately opened the other and put the NSFW deck in the main box. I love the surprise.
Steev Hovey 2015-08-04T03:42:01-04:00
Got mine this morning; now i won't ruin it but loved the surprised, haha :') Couldn't ever think it would be that tho, never expected it!
Amazing job and Well done! Thanks heaps for hours of Enjoyment!
Also
Steev Hovey 2015-08-04T03:49:02-04:00
However @Lord Zombitten
i was quite surprised to when i received it the packaging inside of 1 of the boxes was open already, would there be a reason to that? or just customs?
james flatmo 2015-08-04T04:02:51-04:00
Got mine today! Very happy with it. We played it tonight and had a good time!
Well done EK team!
Steve Tanner 2015-08-04T04:13:11-04:00
So pleased that my Kittens arrived so quickly - in the UK so thought it would take a little longer. Great in-box surprise, but also such a great packing note surprise too so I'm keeping that in the box as well. Such a great extra touch! Brilliant campaign, but also a brilliant post-campaign that really has delivered. Thanks all!
Jonathan Rasson 2015-08-04T04:32:42-04:00
Just received my exploding kittens :D The surprise made a nice impression at work when I opened it
Malträtierer 2015-08-04T04:46:14-04:00
God mine today in Germany. Looking forward to play it.

Thanks for the awesome shipping and the awesome surprise.
To other people still waiting for shipping, hang in there! They are on their way and the EK team has promised to make sure that everyone receives their exploding kittens!

To those asking about boxes being opened already inside the shipping package.
It MIGHT have been customs, I can't speak for your country's rules and regs on shipping.
All my boxes came in plastic sleeves and the decks were in sealed packages.
The insert/playguide/rules etc indicate how many cards and of what type they are.
If you have all 56 cards in your deck and the correct number of each type then you should be happy. Customs being the most random of institutions on this planet, they might randomly open a package and open the decks to make sure that the items being shipped are what is declared on the label. International shipping law allows them to do this due to 'Security' reasons. So there. Sorry if you received a deck in not 100% pristine condition. Not a lot anyone can do about it. :(
Happy Exploding!

My surprise was broken when I opened the box. I wasn't even sure what it was meant to be until I read through these comments.
So that sucks.
Sebastian Frank 2015-08-04T06:23:46-04:00
Got mine today in Germany. I'm really happy and laughed so hard about this awesome and funny cards :D
Can't wait to play!
Thank you very much!!!
Olegs Umanskis 2015-08-04T06:30:39-04:00
Hi everybody! Question to all of those lucky guys, who already get their cards - did you get some tracking number before? And from where this one is being shipped, from USA? Thank you :)
Zain Hamzah 2015-08-04T06:31:10-04:00
Anyone in Asia (or Malaysia to be more specific) gotten their Exploding Kittens yet? Got the Blackbox email last week stating they were shipping soon, but nothing since then.
Just wondering if anyone in Asia's gotten theirs yet. At this rate my head's gonna explode in excitement!

My surprise was broken when I opened the box. I wasn't even sure what it was meant to be until I read through these comments.
The surprise is light sensitive and I needed to open the lid fully for the office light to trigger it.
Maybe take it outside into some direct sunlight? Or at least a window, away from fluorescent lights?
AythamiEsp 2015-08-04T07:24:25-04:00
I just received mine, in Belgium.
Thanks!!!!
Awesome surprise ;)
LIZUREN 2015-08-04T07:26:46-04:00
Received mine in SPAIN !
John Back 2015-08-04T07:27:47-04:00
Just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone involved with the game (creators+testers+backers). Against all the laws of probability, you've made a really fun game that's super easy. We played a game tonight with our two kids (5 & 7) and then picked it up easily - I was so impressed they can play basically just off colour and icons. Thank you - you are now the Gold Standard for kickstarters as far as I'm concerned.
Stephen Pope 2015-08-04T07:42:37-04:00
Received my decks today in Australia, which is frankly amazing. Big thumbs up to everyone involved including Blackbox for delivering so fast!
Jurgen Wagenhauser 2015-08-04T07:49:12-04:00
Mine arrived in Cape Town on Monday. Unfortunately I am in Johannesburg until Friday...
I have to congratulate the team on choosing the best delivery method. From all the campaigns that I ever supported this was by far the fastest delivery to South Africa. Thanks!
Katy England 2015-08-04T07:54:22-04:00
Got it! My box didn't meow. But the game is here and I'm happy.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-08-04T07:54:24-04:00
Alright they are in Iowa....arrived and departed council bluffs Iowa at 12 and 2 am .... I'll possibly see my kittens today...
Katy England 2015-08-04T07:57:08-04:00
I can't edit my comment. It does work - apparently there wasn't enough ambient light, when I turned the light on I almost peed. My life is complete.
Etancelin Pierre 2015-08-04T07:58:48-04:00
I got it, right now in France, and the game is really fun to play :p
Ané Kévin 2015-08-04T08:16:10-04:00
Got it today in France (Paris). Seems perfect, now it's time to find some players :D
Bubble181 2015-08-04T08:20:55-04:00
Got mine in Belgium today, thank you very much. First Kickstarter I ever backed that shipped as timely, quickly, and delivered such a concentrated amount of awesome. Thank you.
Dan Coleman 2015-08-04T08:31:49-04:00
I've been out of state for a week and returned home to my copy. I added the NSFW version via the survey, and while it's listed on my packing slip, wasn't included in the box. Anyone else have this issue?
frank lee 2015-08-04T08:43:17-04:00
My (not exploding) kitten is very jealous of my box of exploding kittens.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-04T08:51:44-04:00
@Dan C, check your invoice to make sure you were charged the $35 for both decks.

I'm quite happy to receive my copy of the game! However I noticed that the receipt is meant to go to another backer. Do I keep this copy and just let it things be as they should?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-04T08:55:15-04:00
If you ordered the regular and NSFW decks, there should be a total of 2 boxes inside your Blackbox shipping box, which is blue in color. One box should be the regular deck . The reguar de k comes in a red box that is inside an unsealed bag. The NSFW deck comes in a shrink wrapped black box.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-04T08:57:44-04:00
@Gracesella, People have been mailing the wrong packing slip to the correct people. Hopefully everyone does this and that way everyone receives the correct packing slip to treasure forever.
Manuel Rodríguez Becerra 2015-08-04T09:14:10-04:00
Got my package this morning. Really happy with how all this crowdfunding went. The final product is awsome! Great quality, nice details (the miawing of the box) and the game is simple and looks like lots of fun. Nicely done guys, you rock!
My box didn't meow. I'm extremely sad!
How can I repair it? :(
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-04T09:21:06-04:00
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!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-04T09:24:49-04:00
Good morning, Lord Zombitten
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-04T09:26:09-04:00
Morning, Trinkets, how are you today?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-04T09:26:33-04:00
@LZ, did you get in on zombicide-black-plague? IIRC, you were a big Zombicide fan.

Received my box (+NSFW) today (Germany) - congrats on this flawlessly executed Kickstarter campaign!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-04T09:30:38-04:00
@Trinkets, thats good to hear! I'm feeling pretty messed up today for sure. Found out that my dog has had a tumour regrow in two weeks. So I'm booking him in for surgery again today, hopefully for this week, but I'm not sure. I'm also supposed to be getting my EK today, and I'm pretty excited about that. Feels weird to be excited for something when it seems the weight of the world is on my shoulders.
Jason York 2015-08-04T09:31:50-04:00
Received my order last night. A fantastic way to end a Monday. It was a lot of fun, great game and great campaign.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-04T09:33:50-04:00
BaKhan. So sorry to hear that. Good thoughts headed your way for you and your dog.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-04T09:34:04-04:00
Trinkets, yes, I got in on the Zombicide: Black Plague action. I'm not expecting them to ship anywhere near their projected time with all the extras they threw in there; but it looks way awesome
Paul Tate 2015-08-04T09:35:01-04:00
Got mine last night. I'm impressed and in awe at how well all of this project went. I've backed over 100 kickstarters and this was, by far, the most fun, entertaining, engaging, and most importantly, on time projects I've dealt with and I am very impressed. Bravo and kudos to all involved.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-04T09:35:22-04:00
BaKhan, sorry to hear about your dog. That's rough. I hope it all works out well for him and you
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-04T09:46:32-04:00
@LZ, one of CMON's last projects, Rum & Bones, was delivered on time. I understand it wasn't as hugely successful as Z:BP was, but they are a good company and have their stuff together. Might not be delayed too much.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-04T09:49:55-04:00
I was guessing it would be between 3 and 6 months delay. That way, if it's less I 'll be super-stoked
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-04T09:52:46-04:00
Gotta get ready for work now, and see if I can calm the stomach butterflies. I have a second interview for the lab manager job today
Philip Zimmermann 2015-08-04T09:52:47-04:00
I got mine yesterday, we played it last night and it was a blast. And the receipt just slew me, that was fantastic. This is the best Kickstarter I've backed so far.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-04T09:57:36-04:00

Chris Eklund 2015-08-04T10:02:36-04:00
I'm really excited for these to arrive, hopefully I'll get mine in a few weeks like the Blackbox email said I would.
Paul Tate 2015-08-04T10:02:48-04:00
Only "issue" was that the blue box it all came in wasn't sealed...so I wouldn't know if someone messed with it or not. Other than that I'm impressed how well this all went.
ionas 2015-08-04T10:04:55-04:00
Got mine (Germany). Impressed with the production quality AdMagic brought to this game. So aside Panda (Lift Off! Get me off this planet KS) this is another manufacturer that can be recommended in terms of production quality.
ionas 2015-08-04T10:05:25-04:00
Hey David Guidry "Doc" - do you back every project on KS :P
@BaKhan: Sorry to hear about the relapse. Hopefully everything works out.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-08-04T10:27:18-04:00
Morning GM
Michael Weber 2015-08-04T10:27:45-04:00
So, when I open my box, the kitten sometimes, might make a sound, but not usually. Seems kinda broken-ish. Should I be asking for a replacement box, and if so, from where?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-04T10:28:42-04:00
Good morning GM.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-04T10:29:27-04:00
@GM, thanks man. I'm hoping that when they did the CT scan last time that it was shadowed and therefore went undetected as it wasn't part of the original mass. If it can grow from microscopic to 1" in a week, we don't have much of a chance. Still, if we didn't do this surgery we would only have 6 weeks, maybe. Given how well he healed up from the last one, I decided to go ahead with this one as well. I just hope I'm making the right decision for him. I think I am, but I'm still feeling really bad about him having back to back surgeries like this.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-04T10:32:01-04:00
@Michael
Taco cat likes the sun.
SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERTSPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERTSPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!
Make sure you open it in a well light place. Also make sure the photosensor is in taco cats right eye. You might have to carefully move it over.
Robert Pendell 2015-08-04T10:34:13-04:00
Got mine yesterday. It also wasn't sealed for unknown reasons however everything was inside. Everything seemed to be working and the card packs themselves were sealed.
Sebastian Wunsch 2015-08-04T10:35:28-04:00
MEEEOW!!!!!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-04T10:37:47-04:00

Moooooo!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-04T10:41:12-04:00
So, when preparing for an interview, you use all the Axe, right?
Michael Weber 2015-08-04T10:49:11-04:00
There are supposed to be Photosensors in Tacocat's eyes? Mine just has two gaping black holes and there's some electronic stuff rattling around behind it. :(
Marek Wiernikowski 2015-08-04T10:49:38-04:00
I'd just like to say thankyou for producing a fantastic game, and running such a fantastic kickstarter. Very popular with all my kids and gaming buddies. Now I just need to buy a load of card sleeves to keep all my kitties in perfect condition. :-)
Simon Au 2015-08-04T11:02:04-04:00

Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-04T11:24:41-04:00
@LZ. Is one bottle enough? Try 2 different fragrances. One for the front half, another for the back half. You smell good showing up and a totally different kind of good walking away.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-04T11:26:37-04:00
You guy can probably stop with the spoiler alert tag lines, pretty much everyone that comes here already knows what it is. Just to save you guys a few seconds.

Trinkets! That's a great idea!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-04T11:36:24-04:00
@LZ, I was thinking you should go the other way, go out and hug some goats before the interview, let them smell what kind of awesome is coming their way!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-04T11:38:26-04:00
BaKhan, that's an even better idea! I could combine the two ideas, though: hug goats to get the front and lie on pigs to get the back! Yeah!
Carmen 2015-08-04T11:38:33-04:00
Just got mine. ....LOVE IT! Great job ♡
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-04T11:40:52-04:00
@GM, do you know when yours is coming yet? Mine is showing its out for delivery!
nahidl 2015-08-04T11:45:44-04:00
Anyone in Canada receive their copy and have to pay a COD (Cash on Delivery)? Got a call stating that I need to pay an extra $35 in order to get my copies of this game. If you can let me know that would be awesome! Thanks.
@BaKhan: Still says it's in transit, as of this morning. Still saying delivery for Friday.
@nahidl: Haven't heard anything about that myself.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-04T11:47:31-04:00

Zygy Koz 2015-08-04T12:03:23-04:00
Got my set.....and as excited as I am to play the game I have to ask this question:
Why is the special first edition box made with paper inside for the divider and storage while the standard NSFW box has a plastic inside and divider........isn't that a bit backwards?
Michael Ahlf mine came the same way, not sure if it's intentional? Still, everything looks awesome! :)
Got it this evening, left one of mine unopened and immediately opened the other and put the NSFW deck in the main box. I love the surprise.
Got mine this morning; now i won't ruin it but loved the surprised, haha :') Couldn't ever think it would be that tho, never expected it!
Amazing job and Well done! Thanks heaps for hours of Enjoyment!
Also
However @Lord Zombitten
i was quite surprised to when i received it the packaging inside of 1 of the boxes was open already, would there be a reason to that? or just customs?
Got mine today! Very happy with it. We played it tonight and had a good time!
Well done EK team!
So pleased that my Kittens arrived so quickly - in the UK so thought it would take a little longer. Great in-box surprise, but also such a great packing note surprise too so I'm keeping that in the box as well. Such a great extra touch! Brilliant campaign, but also a brilliant post-campaign that really has delivered. Thanks all!
Just received my exploding kittens :D The surprise made a nice impression at work when I opened it
God mine today in Germany. Looking forward to play it.

Hi everybody! Question to all of those lucky guys, who already get their cards - did you get some tracking number before? And from where this one is being shipped, from USA? Thank you :)
Anyone in Asia (or Malaysia to be more specific) gotten their Exploding Kittens yet? Got the Blackbox email last week stating they were shipping soon, but nothing since then.

My surprise was broken when I opened the box. I wasn't even sure what it was meant to be until I read through these comments.
So that sucks."

-SPOILER ALERT-SPOILER ALERT-SPOILER ALERT-SPOILER ALERT!!!!!
The surprise is light sensitive and I needed to open the lid fully for the office light to trigger it.
Maybe take it outside into some direct sunlight? Or at least a window, away from fluorescent lights?
I just received mine, in Belgium.
Thanks!!!!
Awesome surprise ;)
Received mine in SPAIN !
Just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone involved with the game (creators+testers+backers). Against all the laws of probability, you've made a really fun game that's super easy. We played a game tonight with our two kids (5 & 7) and then picked it up easily - I was so impressed they can play basically just off colour and icons. Thank you - you are now the Gold Standard for kickstarters as far as I'm concerned.
Received my decks today in Australia, which is frankly amazing. Big thumbs up to everyone involved including Blackbox for delivering so fast!
Mine arrived in Cape Town on Monday. Unfortunately I am in Johannesburg until Friday...
I have to congratulate the team on choosing the best delivery method. From all the campaigns that I ever supported this was by far the fastest delivery to South Africa. Thanks!
Got it! My box didn't meow. But the game is here and I'm happy.
Alright they are in Iowa....arrived and departed council bluffs Iowa at 12 and 2 am .... I'll possibly see my kittens today...
I can't edit my comment. It does work - apparently there wasn't enough ambient light, when I turned the light on I almost peed. My life is complete.
I got it, right now in France, and the game is really fun to play :p
Got it today in France (Paris). Seems perfect, now it's time to find some players :D
Got mine in Belgium today, thank you very much. First Kickstarter I ever backed that shipped as timely, quickly, and delivered such a concentrated amount of awesome. Thank you.
I've been out of state for a week and returned home to my copy. I added the NSFW version via the survey, and while it's listed on my packing slip, wasn't included in the box. Anyone else have this issue?
My (not exploding) kitten is very jealous of my box of exploding kittens.
@Dan C, check your invoice to make sure you were charged the $35 for both decks.

I'm quite happy to receive my copy of the game! However I noticed that the receipt is meant to go to another backer. Do I keep this copy and just let it things be as they should?
If you ordered the regular and NSFW decks, there should be a total of 2 boxes inside your Blackbox shipping box, which is blue in color. One box should be the regular deck . The reguar de k comes in a red box that is inside an unsealed bag. The NSFW deck comes in a shrink wrapped black box.
@Gracesella, People have been mailing the wrong packing slip to the correct people. Hopefully everyone does this and that way everyone receives the correct packing slip to treasure forever.
Got my package this morning. Really happy with how all this crowdfunding went. The final product is awsome! Great quality, nice details (the miawing of the box) and the game is simple and looks like lots of fun. Nicely done guys, you rock!
Good morning, all!
My box didn't meow. I'm extremely sad!
How can I repair it? :(
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!
Good morning, Lord Zombitten
Morning, Trinkets, how are you today?
@LZ, did you get in on zombicide-black-plague? IIRC, you were a big Zombicide fan.
Good Morning Corps!
Going great this beautiful morning.
Good morning BaKhan
Received my box (+NSFW) today (Germany) - congrats on this flawlessly executed Kickstarter campaign!
@Trinkets, thats good to hear! I'm feeling pretty messed up today for sure. Found out that my dog has had a tumour regrow in two weeks. So I'm booking him in for surgery again today, hopefully for this week, but I'm not sure. I'm also supposed to be getting my EK today, and I'm pretty excited about that. Feels weird to be excited for something when it seems the weight of the world is on my shoulders.
Received my order last night. A fantastic way to end a Monday. It was a lot of fun, great game and great campaign.
BaKhan. So sorry to hear that. Good thoughts headed your way for you and your dog.
Trinkets, yes, I got in on the Zombicide: Black Plague action. I'm not expecting them to ship anywhere near their projected time with all the extras they threw in there; but it looks way awesome
Got mine last night. I'm impressed and in awe at how well all of this project went. I've backed over 100 kickstarters and this was, by far, the most fun, entertaining, engaging, and most importantly, on time projects I've dealt with and I am very impressed. Bravo and kudos to all involved.
BaKhan, sorry to hear about your dog. That's rough. I hope it all works out well for him and you
@LZ, one of CMON's last projects, Rum & Bones, was delivered on time. I understand it wasn't as hugely successful as Z:BP was, but they are a good company and have their stuff together. Might not be delayed too much.
I was guessing it would be between 3 and 6 months delay. That way, if it's less I 'll be super-stoked
Gotta get ready for work now, and see if I can calm the stomach butterflies. I have a second interview for the lab manager job today
I got mine yesterday, we played it last night and it was a blast. And the receipt just slew me, that was fantastic. This is the best Kickstarter I've backed so far.
Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I'm trying to be brave for him, but the feels.
@LZ, good luck! You got this!
Ok kittens arrived in fort dodge 4 hours ago...and departed 2 hours ago.....crosses fingers for a today delivery....fort dodge is 20 mins away......
I'm really excited for these to arrive, hopefully I'll get mine in a few weeks like the Blackbox email said I would.
Only "issue" was that the blue box it all came in wasn't sealed...so I wouldn't know if someone messed with it or not. Other than that I'm impressed how well this all went.
Got mine (Germany). Impressed with the production quality AdMagic brought to this game. So aside Panda (Lift Off! Get me off this planet KS) this is another manufacturer that can be recommended in terms of production quality.
Hey David Guidry "Doc" - do you back every project on KS :P
Lol hi ionas only the good ones
Morning Corps. How is the day treating everyone?
@BaKhan: Sorry to hear about the relapse. Hopefully everything works out.
Morning GM
So, when I open my box, the kitten sometimes, might make a sound, but not usually. Seems kinda broken-ish. Should I be asking for a replacement box, and if so, from where?
Good morning GM.
@GM, thanks man. I'm hoping that when they did the CT scan last time that it was shadowed and therefore went undetected as it wasn't part of the original mass. If it can grow from microscopic to 1" in a week, we don't have much of a chance. Still, if we didn't do this surgery we would only have 6 weeks, maybe. Given how well he healed up from the last one, I decided to go ahead with this one as well. I just hope I'm making the right decision for him. I think I am, but I'm still feeling really bad about him having back to back surgeries like this.
@Michael
Taco cat likes the sun.
SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERTSPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERTSPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!
Make sure you open it in a well light place. Also make sure the photosensor is in taco cats right eye. You might have to carefully move it over.
Got mine yesterday. It also wasn't sealed for unknown reasons however everything was inside. Everything seemed to be working and the card packs themselves were sealed.
MEEEOW!!!!!
Moooooo!
All praise the Golden Calf, for he has brought forth our goodness known as Exploding Kittens!
Moooooo!
So, when preparing for an interview, you use all the Axe, right?
There are supposed to be Photosensors in Tacocat's eyes? Mine just has two gaping black holes and there's some electronic stuff rattling around behind it. :(
I'd just like to say thankyou for producing a fantastic game, and running such a fantastic kickstarter. Very popular with all my kids and gaming buddies. Now I just need to buy a load of card sleeves to keep all my kitties in perfect condition. :-)
Dear holy shit, the surprise thing in the box attracted my REAL CAT.
I opened the box out in the office and it got some laughs and confusion. Well done.
My boyfriend got his shipment, so I'm really looking forward to getting mine!!!
all my work friends got theirs - can't wait for mine to come!
Got mine today, So awesome! the surprise thing is so worth it! Hahaha :D. Fantastic project, and very well run.
@LZ. Is one bottle enough? Try 2 different fragrances. One for the front half, another for the back half. You smell good showing up and a totally different kind of good walking away.
@Michael
Spoiler alert!Spoiler alert!Spoiler alert!Spoiler alert!Spoiler alert!Spoiler alert!!
Open up the top flap carefully. Look inside and that might help you figure it out.
You guy can probably stop with the spoiler alert tag lines, pretty much everyone that comes here already knows what it is. Just to save you guys a few seconds.
Trinkets! That's a great idea!
@LZ, I was thinking you should go the other way, go out and hug some goats before the interview, let them smell what kind of awesome is coming their way!
BaKhan, that's an even better idea! I could combine the two ideas, though: hug goats to get the front and lie on pigs to get the back! Yeah!
Just got mine. ....LOVE IT! Great job ♡
@GM, do you know when yours is coming yet? Mine is showing its out for delivery!
Anyone in Canada receive their copy and have to pay a COD (Cash on Delivery)? Got a call stating that I need to pay an extra $35 in order to get my copies of this game. If you can let me know that would be awesome! Thanks.
@BaKhan: Still says it's in transit, as of this morning. Still saying delivery for Friday.
@nahidl: Haven't heard anything about that myself.
Are you sure it's the post office/courier and not some ass hat holding your kittehs for ransom?
got my exploding kittens in the mail today! Can't wait to play with my boys.
My copy was stolen. :( I came out to check the mail and the package was opened and empty in my driveway.
Oh no! Josh, contact EK and Blackbox to see if there's anything they can do.
The following is from the EK team:

Got mine today. Can't wait to play tonight.
Got my kittens! And yes, the special surprise made me laugh in glee.
Got my set.....and as excited as I am to play the game I have to ask this question:
Why is the special first edition box made with paper inside for the divider and storage while the standard NSFW box has a plastic inside and divider........isn't that a bit backwards?
