We can have up to 17 with my brother's and my combined 4 decks. More even if the first couple dead people put the kitten back in the decks.
Steffen Dörner 2015-08-07T03:31:14-04:00
Just want to say: Thank you for this amazing game!
Rhys Kendrick 2015-08-07T03:31:37-04:00
So my copy + NSFW Deck turned up today, and they are more adorably explosive than I had hoped ! awesome box, great quality cards, love it !
Andreas Benold 2015-08-07T04:23:41-04:00
Arrived in Austria! Awesome! :)
Abril Pinero 2015-08-07T06:34:21-04:00
LOL
The surprise was great, I received the boxes at my office and me and my workmates couldn't stop laughing.
Thank you very much!
Anja 2015-08-07T06:49:48-04:00
So my two NSFW DECK PACKAGE arrived today but to my great sorrow not in the special boxes or with the secret surprise =( Did i tick off the wrong box somewhere? What did I do wrong? I really wanted those...
Peter Andersson 2015-08-07T07:42:24-04:00
@Anja, same here, no magic box with hidden surprise :(
Grzesiek Rząca 2015-08-07T07:47:56-04:00
@Peter and Anja
I think you needed to buy the normal + nsfw editions to get the box... I got mine today except it's broken.... ;( and it's not a post office f**** up. The nsfw box is in pristine condition. The box that should (spoiler) doesn't (spoiler) ;( and it's bent
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-07T08:33:08-04:00
Yes, the special boxes are only with the regular decks, not the NSFW decks.
David Giard 2015-08-07T08:34:52-04:00
Hi,
No email for shipping confirmation from Backbox and no package yet....
Quebec, Canada.
Anyone in the same situation here?
NoBeard the Pirate 2015-08-07T08:53:56-04:00
Received mine but the shipping box was not even sealed, anyone could have just opened the box and helped themselves, not even a piece of tape holding it shut.

Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-07T09:24:02-04:00
@NoBeard, from reading the comments, that was a common issue in the states. Most other countries didn't have the blue box, I even heard of one person having it shipped in nothing but bubble wrap!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-07T09:43:44-04:00
But, but Trinkets, it's not possible to get the NSFW deck without getting the regular deck. So Anja and Peter still should have gotten the special box with the secret surprise. Unless I'm misunderstanding their problem, and the were expecting both of their decks to come in separate special boxes with secret surprises...
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-07T09:45:09-04:00
@LZ, I was wondering the same thing.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-07T09:46:30-04:00
On the Exploding kittens Facebook page, they state that they are receiving everybody's emails and ask that anyone who sent one or more emails to them, to wait a few days. They are working on your problems
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-07T09:58:36-04:00
I'm suspecting some people didn't fill out their surveys correctly...
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-07T10:06:40-04:00
Some people probably didn't fill out their surveys properly, but NSFW by itself wasn't an option.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-07T10:18:32-04:00
I thought that they made it so you could add on the nsfw edition by itself. If a person did that and the removed the base game it could have happened right? Just guessing as mine arrived as it should have, one of each.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-07T10:23:42-04:00
Wow, now that probablky 210,000 people have theirs, the comments have died down quite a bit. I can actually read back to where I left off! Then again I left at like 1:30 am and woke up at 7 today for donuts just getting back now at 9:30. So not the 10-hour slumber party of my normal summer days.
Robert Emery Shelton 2015-08-07T10:34:13-04:00
Is there any eta on when the Blackbox or Exploding Kittens support will get back to us on any issues we've had? My package was never delivered due to "insufficient/incorrect address" and was immediately shipped back to the sender even though the address Blackbox attached in my confirmation/tracking email was correct.
Ruben Gomez Campos 2015-08-07T10:38:34-04:00
Exploding kittens just arrived to A Coruña, Spain. Amazing surprise opening the box... Great job!! ;)
Chalanna Hackenjos 2015-08-07T10:42:46-04:00
Seems like I'm another to add to the incorrect address issues. I contacted Fedex who insists there is no house there. I insisted that they just don't want to drive down the dirt road to get to it..Waiting on Blackbox to get back to me with what to do now...
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-07T10:53:32-04:00

We named the man's car JarJar. Because it's stupid, ugly, awful suspension and useless for the city. Read that as "I named it". He's starting to come to his senses now that there's nothing left to break.
AT-AT is definitely better, but the AT-ST is more space friendly. I understand the need for the tree. When I had an indoor-only cat, he loved the 2 meter tall tree I built for him. Now, my cats spend most of their time outside, so they're not interested in cat trees
JarJar Binksie sitting in a.. jar, you see.
Tongue stuck to the cap, yeah,
Waving stupidly.
JarJar, what a bitch, looking like a flooded ditch
Fill that jar with ants, yeah,
Brain glitch!
Anyway, I had to find a tree with less than 50x50cm footprint. Easier said than done when looking for a 120-140cm tree. With a house in it. Hope it holds when she gets in the seven kilo range.
Sophia Chen 2015-08-07T11:51:37-04:00
ps, my package was passed off to USPS who made the final delivery this morning. in case that helps anyone who had a weird shipping situation...
Hey guys, I had a issue with shipping. I've sent an email(one with tracking info) and a message on kick starter and haven't heard back. Just wondering if there are any other hoops I need to jump through to get the two games. Can't wait to play.
@Andrew: The final hoop you need to jump through is having patience. They are working through it all, they posted on their Facebook page that it may take a few days.
Hey Andrew,
The team is going to look into it. They have many mails to go through. Be patient, you'll get your fur bombs.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-07T12:35:18-04:00
Patience is over rated. The day they were handing it out, I couldn't wait, had stuff to do!
Peter Behrens 2015-08-07T12:44:03-04:00
Hello,
To the best of my knowledge, I have not yet received a tracking number for my reward, yet last week my brother's reward was delivered to our house. Am I missing something?

Mikael Börjesson 2015-08-07T13:10:20-04:00
MEOW!!!
Dale 2015-08-07T14:13:57-04:00
I'm doing my best to be patient. I got the NSFW deck last Saturday, but the main deck was missing--curious that the box was neither wrapped or taped. I emailed almost immediately, and as of yet have heard nothing.
The lack of at least an autoresponder seems a little bit 1990s. It's been six days and the only response of any kind I've heard about is through comments left on this page.
@Trinkets, as far as I can tell, its only the folks in the states that are getting the untaped packages. Mine came in a standard brown box well taped and filled with those packing peanuts. I wonder if its the dye in the cardboard causing the problem? The tape sucks up just enough ink to lose its ability to stick?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-07T14:44:47-04:00
And to add to it, I think it's just the blue box that says exploding kittens on the side. I'm guessing Blackbox just decided that not taping them would be good enough. The box certainly seems like tape would stick to it, the shipping labels did.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-07T14:47:08-04:00
@Trinkets, I can't even imagine shipping anything, and not sealing the package. It a piece of tape, not gold leaf or something. Surely they could spare the $0.0001 worth of tape?
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-07T14:47:37-04:00
My blue box was taped, though. And the tape stuck fine. This is all weird
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-07T14:51:04-04:00
I remember you saying your was taped, LZ. And maybe another 2 people had tape on them too. Maybe the local post offices did it?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-07T14:53:13-04:00
Black Box, the cool shipping company that only uses tape sometimes...
Mine was taped, and came in a regular brown box, didn't even say anything regarding exploding anywhere on it either. Maybe the Canadian side of Black Box is better at making sure things arrive as they should, sealed and all.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-07T15:00:03-04:00
@GM, I'm pretty sure the Canadian side of Black Box is Canada Post... ;)
@BaKhan: Shh....you will ruin my view of Canada Post if you do that.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-07T15:08:22-04:00
I've got piles of stuff to do, no interest in doing it though. I'm going to pick up my pup from his latest surgery in a couple of hours, so my minds not on work.
I too am getting a bolt removal several days earlier than expected. I'll have time to prepare for the beach after the three days in hospital. Yay!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-07T15:28:50-04:00
@GAMEHORDER, I don't know if Mayfair sleeves do or not. The FF sleeves fit the NSFW box. I added a cardboard divider after taking the plastic tray out. It works good. That way, I don't have to ruin my special box!!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-07T15:31:05-04:00
@LZ, patience is a virtue,
but waiting for something like that dies really suck!!
Good luck.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-07T15:32:27-04:00
I am the boss. You slackers better get off your asses and get some damn work done!!!

LOVE the game...my only regret is that I didn't get more. Any chance on a backer discount when the public ordering goes live?

Ah, meesa missed Star Wars talkies. Meesa wanna tongue itself.
@Idle, how did you do with your kitten quest?
Still waiting. Should get her on Sunday I think. Come to think some more, I need to sync with the breeder.
No Jarjar!
No, JarJar.
@Idle, congrats, you must be pretty excited!
No JarJar!!
I don't have any fire ants right now
We named the man's car JarJar. Because it's stupid, ugly, awful suspension and useless for the city. Read that as "I named it". He's starting to come to his senses now that there's nothing left to break.
I am excited. If only DHL weren't striking, I had to get the cat tree today. It's still in Germany. Good thing I bought some stuff locally.
If my cats were into cat trees, I would build one that looks like an AT-ST, like I saw that some guy on the Internet did.
AT-AT is better.
Bella's gonna need her tree. Trust me. The 2k euro sofa is shivering right now.
Any new Stretch Goals?

A purrrfect surprise.
My tree had a base that was a little less than 50x50 cm. I had to anchor it to a wall so it wouldn't fall over
Wall says NOPE!
Window sill says eh.
Got it. Kaboom!
Bang, Jan!

I never got a tracking number yet got the decks. Double surprise I call it. Relax.
I got the tracking number last night for my decks going to get them by Monday can't wait for my bombs of fur.
so if i haven't received my email with the tracking number yet, should i be concerned?
Nope.

Tape was never there or it was gone? Mine came in a cardboard box with tape, granted it was two sets.
No tape. It sounds like most (95% or more, going by the numbers heard here) were not taped.
Weird.

It's official now. I'm getting my silver girl on Sunday! Yippee for yet another three hour drive. One direction. Hello, backseat. Damn leg.
Anyone find sleeves that fit in the deluxe box... Fantasy Flight do not...
Puppy power! He's going to eat that surgery.
@Idle, congrats on the kitteh! Sorry about the drive and the leg, hopes its some smooth roads!
@Idle, surgery was yesterday, they kept him overnight for observation. Apparently it went well, but now he's restless and anxious to go! Poor guy!
My mind is also not on work. I keep wondering if the boss is going to come in and tell me I have the job
@LZ, thats crule and unusual punishment, I mean, they should have taken you for celebratory drinks already! Thats how you spend a Friday afternoon!
I wish I could spend my Friday afternoon like that...mind you, my boss isn't even in the office today, she took the day off.
@BaKhan, I know, right?! He told me yesterday that he would talk to me about it later yesterday, or today...definitely no later than Monday
If he has the energy, he's going to be fine.
