Any word on when we should be hearing back from support teams? I emailed both teams with my issue on Sat. afternoon. My issue was getting 2 regular decks instead of a regular deck and a NSFW deck. And the packing slip had the wrong name. it said Kristopher, I'm Jeff.
Jonas "Drakurius" Runkel 2015-08-04T18:51:51-04:00
My kittens made it to Germany without exploding. :) the special surprise didn't work when I first opened the box so I thought. Hey what's in there and tried to open it. While trying to get the lid to open I heard a poor kitty haha so I better left it closed
Can't wait to play :)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-04T18:52:06-04:00
10 games
4 hours
2 rounds of coffee:
2 Brothers, then Another. Coming soon to a theater near you!
`
My little brother and I went to lunch, then to a coffee shop, got coffee, and started playing the game. 3 hours later, another brother joined us for 2 games and it got crazy! The last game was freaking intense and I won against all odds ever!
no packages.. no e-mails.. I'm not too concerned yet.. but everyone else seems to be getting theirs
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-04T18:54:32-04:00
It will probably take a week or two (maybe more), I would imagine. I remember that during the campaign and soon after it ended, it took more than a week to receive a response
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-04T18:56:40-04:00

Just got my package today!! Thanks - can't wait to play it and the surprise was awesome!
Chris Angel 2015-08-04T19:21:48-04:00
Got my game and love it! My only comment is that in my NSFW deck, many of the cards had printing errors on the backside (red side) of them. Looks like there might have been some ink issues when they were being printed. Does anyone know if I would be able to request a replacement deck (as now a sharp eye might be able to tell what another player is holding in their hands by the marked cards)

Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-04T19:47:58-04:00
We have exploding kittens!!! The sneaky postman decided not to leave it at my house (in spite of the fact the have left significantly more expensive packages with no issues). The slip they left said I couldn't pick it up until tomorrow, this was a lie! Picked it up today after work like a boss!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-04T19:51:28-04:00

I certainly hope so! (I think I got it)
Jean-Francois Losier 2015-08-04T20:07:07-04:00
My box doesn't meow!!!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-04T20:16:01-04:00
@Jean, you need moar light! If that doesn't work, you will need to adjust the light sensor.
Omicron 2015-08-04T20:23:32-04:00
My 2 cats ran into the room I was in when I opened my box...well done guys. My wife was very impressed as well.
Jeff Laing 2015-08-04T20:26:11-04:00
Arrived safe and sound in Australia. Now I'm torn - I was going to keep the NSFW deck for myself and give the regular as a gift, but the surprise in the box is a bit too cool to give away...
Pierce Lustig 2015-08-04T20:27:52-04:00
I'm in new jersey and haven't received anything yet. Should I be worried? I see a lot of people who got theirs.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-08-04T20:33:16-04:00
@BaKhan same shit I did....but mine had no slip....just strolled in and was like.....
NEED MORE KITTAYS MEOW!!!
And they went and found them......they were saposed to deliver tomorrow
Garrett Semola 2015-08-04T20:33:46-04:00
Awesome game. . Can't wait to play!
Michael Kristopher Montes 2015-08-04T20:42:21-04:00
got my special box. it meowed once when i opened it. it doesnt meow anymore. :( i am happy i got the game though

Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-04T20:52:47-04:00

badgerbabs 2015-08-04T20:54:43-04:00
Received on my birthday - what a treat! And right now my poor dog is going berserk trying to find the invisible cat in the house. Thanks, guys!
Christian Stalley 2015-08-04T21:00:12-04:00
The kittens have landed in Atlantic Canada. My son opened the box while I was work, and sent me a recording of the meow. Sawheet! We played, and laughed!
Bryan Hopkins 2015-08-04T21:08:53-04:00
Kittens have landed in Arizona and on a hot day we will all be playing tonight. My only thought is I thought we stretched to two cards per a box and not just the box being able to hold two sets of cards. Am I wrong on how I read the stretch goal?? Still going to love playing.
Chacha 2015-08-04T21:10:07-04:00
They have arrived in Eastern Canada!!
Polly Carroll 2015-08-04T21:11:46-04:00
Have all U.S. Backers had it shipped via FedEx Smartpost?! This is always a pain for me and the tracking is unreliable. �
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-04T21:14:21-04:00
@Bryan, yep you're wrong! It was only the upgraded box, with super secret surprise of unsurpassed amazingness! But, seriously, there was never an extra deck. Maybe you confused when the nsfw add on became a full deck?
Damon Polich 2015-08-04T21:17:13-04:00
I did not get my upgraded box or super secret surprise. I just got the two decks
Damon Polich 2015-08-04T21:17:51-04:00
JK!!!!!
Melissa 2015-08-04T21:19:49-04:00
So I finally opened my cards today to find a few of them are damaged from the packaging. I'm afraid that when some people try to "shuffle" and by shuffle I mean just taking cards and jamming them in, will tear them even more. They don't seem very sturdy like a normal deck of playing cards :(

I definitely will
Andrew Perucho 2015-08-04T22:10:02-04:00
Kittens have touched down in Mississauga, Ontario Canada.
That thank you comic is pretty darn cool. Best kickstarter campaign ever!
Joshua Conlan 2015-08-04T22:25:44-04:00
Kittens have been received in Perth Western Australia.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-04T22:30:52-04:00
3 comments in one day?! Wow that's alot. I'm working too hard on here!
Matt J 2015-08-04T22:33:43-04:00
Kittens have exploded in Calgary, Alberta. Great game! It was especially satisfying winning the first game with a stolen card.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-04T22:34:42-04:00
Zem, you just couldn't stomach the idea of actually passing me up
So angry at AustPost! I was so excited to see that my Exploding Kittens was scanned in a couple kms away from here to be delivered yesterday, but never arrived. 25 hour later, and still not here! Australian Post has received a complaint about it. They have been slack lately with deliveries, but not getting me my Exploding Kittens in time, that is the last straw!
shulk (millifish) 2015-08-04T23:16:32-04:00
dont ruin the surprise guys some people dont have it yet good thing i havent been reading the comments un till i got mine. just dont spoil it
David Orr 2015-08-04T23:17:43-04:00
@Michael Cowley - Aus Post did great by me. EK was waiting for me at the doorstep yesterday arvo when I got home from work.
David Orr 2015-08-04T23:18:58-04:00
Kittens have arrived (exploded) in Brisbane, Australia!
Rick 2015-08-04T23:21:15-04:00
The cats have taken control of our package. On it's journey from Reno, Nevada to New Mexico it has bounced from Reno to Salt Lake City, Utah, then across Colorado and Wyoming to Sidney, Nebraska before crossing Kansas and heading to Orlando, Oklahoma, then into Dallas, Texas.
Where it journeys to next we shall see, but it will be well traveled.
Mine are still saying in transit...from Mississauga, Ontario. I know full well that they SHOULD be in Calgary already, especially since it is supposedly "Expedited Parcels", and as Matt J has gotten his...it's a little suspect for it not to be here now.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-04T23:34:39-04:00
@GM, I think it was pretty random. I got mine today.
adam lanham 2015-08-04T23:43:24-04:00
The Kittens just blew up Tasmania!
Wooohoooooo!!!!! now..... to find that baby owl..... lmao
Michael Cowley 2015-08-04T23:45:20-04:00
@David Orr, I think it is because the driver contractors around this area in SA have been changed. They don't always try delivering packages, and just leave a pick up card for it. Oh well, hopefully I'll get my kittens soon, or I'm going to explode with anticipation.
@BaKhan: Or, since I ordered 8 NSFW sets...it could be on a different shipment since it would be a larger parcel.
R Blake 2015-08-05T00:08:54-04:00
Got mine! Just outside of Toronto. Awesome! Dog keeps staring at the box, waiting for the cat to come out....
Timothy 2015-08-05T00:09:41-04:00
Wait when black box sends the email are you supposed to be able to track your order?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-05T00:11:01-04:00
@GM, yes, or that. ;)
Jeffrey Klassen 2015-08-05T00:28:46-04:00
Got mine today (Calgary). Very happy, very fun and simple game with a surprising amount of strategy. My 8yr old nephew was able to pick it up and actually plan out some good moves in no time at all. Honestly my only critic is that the NSFW and SFW editions are very hard to unmix if you mix them for a game. I was expecting some sort of indicator to make them easy to separate but oh well, the game is still great.
Evan Johnston 2015-08-05T00:29:44-04:00
Melbourne, Australia, has just been bombarded by Inter-Continental Ballistic Kittens.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-05T00:33:12-04:00
@Jeffrey,
Printed on the face, of each card is first edition. Somewhere on the lower half, left side of the card. The NSFW deck has NSFW instead of first edition.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-05T00:35:29-04:00
@Timothy, yes. It is a 20 digit number that is at the end of the very first sentence of your email.
Simon Au 2015-08-05T00:43:18-04:00
4 August 2015 delivery - Hong Kong, Asia.
Jeffrey Klassen 2015-08-05T00:47:56-04:00
@Eric,
Yes but it's tiny text and not mirrored on the card. So if a card's orientation is upside down as you shuffle through cards you have to constantly look in different corners or first go through the deck and re-orientate all the cards, then unmix them. A more visible symbol that was mirrored on the cards would have been much better.
Matt Duggan 2015-08-05T01:12:15-04:00
You promised July delivery. A billion people bought the game, which was a few more than the dozen or so you anticipated. I received my game on 4 August 2015. You were four days late. Unacceptable.
Actually, come to think of it, I can't think of a world in which you could have gotten this game to me so quickly. Especially given the ridiculously high quality of the cards, the lovely box they live in, and the hilarious imagery. Who's soul did you sell to make this possible? Was it mine? I feel different.
Either way, you guys did great work. Both decks were better than hoped for, delivery was month ahead of what I expected, and the game itself is really good fun.
Next time though, please do not include an actual dead (partially exploded) cat in my parcel. That wasn't cool. It smells funny.
thomassmailus 2015-08-05T01:16:10-04:00
Arrived in Seattle Tuesday August 4th.
Now what to do with that nice NSFW box with the cards out in the main box. But more importantly what to do with the NSFW instruction sheet. Are folks just keeping the two decks separate in their boxes?
Btw opening the box in a dimly lit room had me wondering about the cool feature and what it was.
Painkiller 2015-08-05T01:51:00-04:00
WHOOOHOOO.... THANK YOU!!! I got my package in the mail today! KICK ASS! I'm going to play the hell out of this! Thank you... THank you... than.... uhh.. excuse me... my cat is looking at me funny... it appears to have something in it's mou...... I don't remember having TNT in my h... OH ... CRR.....................
Bill M. 2015-08-05T01:59:43-04:00
Haven't seen a confirmation email yet, but here's to being optimistic, or something... Must.. have.. kittens...
4 Stars Chicago 2015-08-05T02:05:43-04:00
Got my package today it was AWESOME. Thank you for all the thought put into it! The game is fun and what makes it even better is that this was one of the most fun projects I have backed. Thanks again!

David Thomson 2015-08-05T02:44:31-04:00
I can't say this is the best $35 I have ever spent because of that one time I bought shrooms for a party in a tree-planting camp in Northern Ontario...but this is DEFINITELY the SECOND best $35 I have ever spent. Plus: no nosebleeds!
Awesome game. Thank you Team EK.
Gary Rayman 2015-08-05T03:09:20-04:00
LOVE the attention to detail. Two problems though:
1) You assume our love for kittens. I fucking hate cats; hence my desire to explode them.
2) I'm only 28 and am unsure of how much leniency 30+? allows for. Can I open my box or not?
Peter Vrancken 2015-08-05T03:24:40-04:00
I've received my copy of the game yesterday. I didn't expect it so soon in Belgium, Europe. Can't wait to play it with family and friends! Awesome surprise as well. It startled me a bit :-)
Charlene 2015-08-05T03:33:02-04:00
From Australia (Sydney) received it on Monday and have been having too much fun to comment! Made plans for the weekend with more people.
Tobias Ebitsch 2015-08-05T03:51:34-04:00
Yay just received my copy yesterday! One question on my side - Are there any recommended card sleeves? I´m guessing this topic has just been covered already within the past 91K comments here but it´d be overwhelming to scroll down and search for an answer therefore just this shy and short question, if somebody can give me a feedback and short summary
Stephany Maurer 2015-08-05T03:51:57-04:00
I received my box of exploding kittens today and OMG!!! We are so excited. You're right, that surprise was the best spent $1 million, ever!! We have plans for an exploding kitten party to celebrate! Moooore WINE! *BOOM*
Gerald Sorko 2015-08-05T04:15:39-04:00
Received my copies in Cologne, Germany yesterday.
Played it with the family last night and we had lots of fun - especially my girls (10 and 12 years). This will be great for quick games when there is not much time.
I admit I do not like the NSFW deck, the d*ck jokes just do not tickle my funny bone (queue jokes about Germans and our sense of humour ...) - although "Cat's Schroedinger" was great. Will sell it on Ebay, I guess.
Nathan Barnes 2015-08-05T04:23:35-04:00
I got mine today to my surprise.
I agree with @thomassmailus though, what does one now do with the nice box the NSFW copy came in if they put it in the main magnet box which is so very nice. So happy it came so quick.
One thing I will say is it is a bugger (pain) that the NSFW manual does not fit in the main box. Strange.
Nico Raschle 2015-08-05T04:29:00-04:00
Very surprised to have it already received in Switzerland today! Mind blown, best kickstarter experience ever!
Any word on when we should be hearing back from support teams? I emailed both teams with my issue on Sat. afternoon. My issue was getting 2 regular decks instead of a regular deck and a NSFW deck. And the packing slip had the wrong name. it said Kristopher, I'm Jeff.

You will just have to Wait it out kristopher jeff
That's cool LZ :) Do you work in the medical field? If you don't mind my asking of course. I may be a hyper Smashley today :p
Still no word on when mine will ship... much less arrive. Any chance for an individual update? lol
Good job Zem!
Got the wrong person's personalized letter :(

@LZ, so when do find out?
Just got my game today.
Soon
That's all they said. Soon
Well good luck LZ ... If they don't give you the job ....breed a bunch of mutant zombie cats and attack them with zombie cat mutant urine in a squirt gun....
I definitely will
Kittens have touched down in Mississauga, Ontario Canada.
That thank you comic is pretty darn cool. Best kickstarter campaign ever!
Kittens have been received in Perth Western Australia.
3 comments in one day?! Wow that's alot. I'm working too hard on here!
Kittens have exploded in Calgary, Alberta. Great game! It was especially satisfying winning the first game with a stolen card.
Zem, you just couldn't stomach the idea of actually passing me up
You decided to give me a day to widen the gap
Just received my game. Here's my cat's reaction to the suspicious package: http://imgur.com/gallery/Me4bJ/new
So angry at AustPost! I was so excited to see that my Exploding Kittens was scanned in a couple kms away from here to be delivered yesterday, but never arrived. 25 hour later, and still not here! Australian Post has received a complaint about it. They have been slack lately with deliveries, but not getting me my Exploding Kittens in time, that is the last straw!
dont ruin the surprise guys some people dont have it yet good thing i havent been reading the comments un till i got mine. just dont spoil it
@Michael Cowley - Aus Post did great by me. EK was waiting for me at the doorstep yesterday arvo when I got home from work.
Kittens have arrived (exploded) in Brisbane, Australia!
The cats have taken control of our package. On it's journey from Reno, Nevada to New Mexico it has bounced from Reno to Salt Lake City, Utah, then across Colorado and Wyoming to Sidney, Nebraska before crossing Kansas and heading to Orlando, Oklahoma, then into Dallas, Texas.
Where it journeys to next we shall see, but it will be well traveled.
Mine are still saying in transit...from Mississauga, Ontario. I know full well that they SHOULD be in Calgary already, especially since it is supposedly "Expedited Parcels", and as Matt J has gotten his...it's a little suspect for it not to be here now.
@GM, I think it was pretty random. I got mine today.
The Kittens just blew up Tasmania!
Wooohoooooo!!!!! now..... to find that baby owl..... lmao
@David Orr, I think it is because the driver contractors around this area in SA have been changed. They don't always try delivering packages, and just leave a pick up card for it. Oh well, hopefully I'll get my kittens soon, or I'm going to explode with anticipation.
@BaKhan: Or, since I ordered 8 NSFW sets...it could be on a different shipment since it would be a larger parcel.
Got mine! Just outside of Toronto. Awesome! Dog keeps staring at the box, waiting for the cat to come out....
Wait when black box sends the email are you supposed to be able to track your order?
@GM, yes, or that. ;)
Got mine today (Calgary). Very happy, very fun and simple game with a surprising amount of strategy. My 8yr old nephew was able to pick it up and actually plan out some good moves in no time at all. Honestly my only critic is that the NSFW and SFW editions are very hard to unmix if you mix them for a game. I was expecting some sort of indicator to make them easy to separate but oh well, the game is still great.
Melbourne, Australia, has just been bombarded by Inter-Continental Ballistic Kittens.
@Jeffrey,
Printed on the face, of each card is first edition. Somewhere on the lower half, left side of the card. The NSFW deck has NSFW instead of first edition.
@Timothy, yes. It is a 20 digit number that is at the end of the very first sentence of your email.
4 August 2015 delivery - Hong Kong, Asia.
@Eric,
Yes but it's tiny text and not mirrored on the card. So if a card's orientation is upside down as you shuffle through cards you have to constantly look in different corners or first go through the deck and re-orientate all the cards, then unmix them. A more visible symbol that was mirrored on the cards would have been much better.
You promised July delivery. A billion people bought the game, which was a few more than the dozen or so you anticipated. I received my game on 4 August 2015. You were four days late. Unacceptable.
Actually, come to think of it, I can't think of a world in which you could have gotten this game to me so quickly. Especially given the ridiculously high quality of the cards, the lovely box they live in, and the hilarious imagery. Who's soul did you sell to make this possible? Was it mine? I feel different.
Either way, you guys did great work. Both decks were better than hoped for, delivery was month ahead of what I expected, and the game itself is really good fun.
Next time though, please do not include an actual dead (partially exploded) cat in my parcel. That wasn't cool. It smells funny.
Arrived in Seattle Tuesday August 4th.
Now what to do with that nice NSFW box with the cards out in the main box. But more importantly what to do with the NSFW instruction sheet. Are folks just keeping the two decks separate in their boxes?
Btw opening the box in a dimly lit room had me wondering about the cool feature and what it was.
WHOOOHOOO.... THANK YOU!!! I got my package in the mail today! KICK ASS! I'm going to play the hell out of this! Thank you... THank you... than.... uhh.. excuse me... my cat is looking at me funny... it appears to have something in it's mou...... I don't remember having TNT in my h... OH ... CRR.....................
Haven't seen a confirmation email yet, but here's to being optimistic, or something... Must.. have.. kittens...
Got my package today it was AWESOME. Thank you for all the thought put into it! The game is fun and what makes it even better is that this was one of the most fun projects I have backed. Thanks again!
Amazing love you!
Fyi, I have received my receipt of shipment yet.
Tim
Has anyone in Johannesburg, ZA received theirs yet? Was expected to deliver by fedex on Monday, but says its still sitting in Poyle, GB
Sorry that should have read HAVE NOT RECEIVED my confirmation of shipment yet.
Tim
I can't say this is the best $35 I have ever spent because of that one time I bought shrooms for a party in a tree-planting camp in Northern Ontario...but this is DEFINITELY the SECOND best $35 I have ever spent. Plus: no nosebleeds!
Awesome game. Thank you Team EK.
LOVE the attention to detail. Two problems though:
1) You assume our love for kittens. I fucking hate cats; hence my desire to explode them.
2) I'm only 28 and am unsure of how much leniency 30+? allows for. Can I open my box or not?
I've received my copy of the game yesterday. I didn't expect it so soon in Belgium, Europe. Can't wait to play it with family and friends! Awesome surprise as well. It startled me a bit :-)
From Australia (Sydney) received it on Monday and have been having too much fun to comment! Made plans for the weekend with more people.
Yay just received my copy yesterday! One question on my side - Are there any recommended card sleeves? I´m guessing this topic has just been covered already within the past 91K comments here but it´d be overwhelming to scroll down and search for an answer therefore just this shy and short question, if somebody can give me a feedback and short summary
I received my box of exploding kittens today and OMG!!! We are so excited. You're right, that surprise was the best spent $1 million, ever!! We have plans for an exploding kitten party to celebrate! Moooore WINE! *BOOM*
Received my copies in Cologne, Germany yesterday.
Played it with the family last night and we had lots of fun - especially my girls (10 and 12 years). This will be great for quick games when there is not much time.
I admit I do not like the NSFW deck, the d*ck jokes just do not tickle my funny bone (queue jokes about Germans and our sense of humour ...) - although "Cat's Schroedinger" was great. Will sell it on Ebay, I guess.
I got mine today to my surprise.
I agree with @thomassmailus though, what does one now do with the nice box the NSFW copy came in if they put it in the main magnet box which is so very nice. So happy it came so quick.
One thing I will say is it is a bugger (pain) that the NSFW manual does not fit in the main box. Strange.
Very surprised to have it already received in Switzerland today! Mind blown, best kickstarter experience ever!
