Good morning all!
@PoT, I haven't changed the time on Elan's post because that would be too much work, lol.
The message is still current for the issues some backers are experiencing.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-12T11:05:28-04:00
Yes, it is likely to be a current message for some time based on the posts I've seen.

Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T11:06:37-04:00
dang, lz, I just googled it and copied it from a facebook response on their page, so I feel sorry for the people I copied it from.
When i got back, I took a nap so I wouldn't feel tired all today, but it seems to have done what all naps do and made me feel way more tired.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T11:07:27-04:00
Hi all, wasn't it one of the stretch goals, that we all will reveive two decks??? I don't get an answer from the team, so I ask the fans ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T11:18:15-04:00
... let me look that up... NSFW expanded... NSFW its own standalone game... deluxe boxes... super secret surprise in boxes... nope, nothing about an extra free deck. You can check the goals on the campaign and updates pages. I don't see anything about that.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-12T11:26:33-04:00
@René, if you purchased the NSFW $35.00 tier, then yes. You should have received two boxes, one red with the regular deck, and one black with the NSFW deck. If you only opted for the $20 regular deck, then no. You would only get the red box with the one regular deck in it.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-12T11:32:55-04:00
I do have to say that I am actually surprised how well my gaming group likes Exploding Kittens. We usually do some of the heavier games and not much for the lighter fare. Caverna, Stone Age, Eldritch Horror, Firefly, Nations, Descent, Imperial Assault, Viceroy...etc.
It just goes to show that with a well designed game, fantastic artwork, and some off the wall humor, that everyone should love this game.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T11:35:23-04:00
I think the NSFW deck is alot like CAH in that you can just whip it out in public at any time with little to no repercussion unless family is involved. These are great games for just carrying around for an opportunity where you have like 20 minutes and 1-4 friends.
Mark Urlacher 2015-08-12T12:32:34-04:00
So I have been playing this for a week now and it hasn't gotten old yet! My family was in town last weekend and we played with the normal deck and it was fantastic but then we had some friends over after they left and played the NSFW deck. No one could stop laughing! It was the most fun we have had in a long time (and we like to have fun)! Thanks for a great game!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T12:34:17-04:00
After I got mine, I played over 30 games in the first 3 days! Most of those were at coffee shops over long periods of time with my brothers, which I found to be a great way to play.
Michael 2015-08-12T12:36:19-04:00
I am really Impressed with tje quality of this product! Amazing job guys! I love it! :)
Anna 2015-08-12T12:41:03-04:00
This just in. USPS now wants me to pay $8.90 to pick up my EK from the Post Office because FedEx Smart Post does not forward without charge. We were misinformed.
I'm now at my wit's end dealing with this entire shipping process. Either the package gets returned to sender or I take an hour+ off of my work day to stand in line at the post office and fork over money for shit I wasn't responsible for.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T12:44:23-04:00
Anna, that's happened before, but for most of us, we didn't have to pick up the charge. But I think someone said last time it came up to contact explodingkittens@support.Blackbox.cool and they'll refund it because they want everyone to get their games like they promised. However, be forewarned; they have thousands of emails to deal with and only 3 crew members to do it, so a full week or easily more is a common wait time. Please don't keep emailing them asking why they haven't responded to your email yet because that just makes it take longer. I'd say if you don't get a response in 2 weeks, then look for recourse inlcuding emailing again.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T12:45:54-04:00
Guys, I'm right, right? Am I crazy or did someone mention that they'd refund you if that happened because it wasn't supposed to be like that and they wanted us all to get them as promised. Help me out; I'm just one mattress against the neverending mighty hordes of people who got screwed by FedEx.
Anna 2015-08-12T12:52:29-04:00
To be fair, it wasn't FedEx's fault, it's more USPS. But more information would be greatly appreciated.
I work one city over from where I live and my post office resides, so this entire dance that the USPS is making me do angers me greatly. I'm on my THIRD case number in their ticketing system in regards to this magical blue box containing kittens of the explosive variety.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T12:55:18-04:00
Trust me, it's worth the hassle, though the hassle is stupid and unnecessary. I'm glad it worked great for most people, but I hope there is help for when it goes wrong as in your case. I really hope my memory serves me well in that refund! Don't quote me on it, but totally worth a shot if you ask me.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T12:56:54-04:00
whoa, checked the dropbox top commenters thing on a whim and noticed Cha! and BaKhan both have 1946 comments! Must've been a good year.
CT_Dave 2015-08-12T13:06:17-04:00
I have a rules question, please let me know if this isn't the place for these. OK, three players . . . player one plays an action card that forces player two to draw twice. But player two slaps down a NOPE. Does player one then have to draw as usual or does play continue to player three? Thank you!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T13:07:16-04:00
The attack card is nullified and so player one must continue his round as if you noped a see the future or something. Just that action is ended, so the rest of the turn proceeds as normal.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T13:08:27-04:00
Unless, of course, you have another nope to make a YEP! or another attack to hit him again. I've gotten someone in the very end in a heated battle that went something like "ATTACK! NOPE! YEP! NOPE! YEP! NOPE! ATTACK! DANG IT!"
CT_Dave 2015-08-12T13:09:19-04:00
Ahhh . . . . thanks. So you can NOPE anything?? I didn't know you could use it against someone's "see the future".
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T13:13:16-04:00
Anything but an exploding kitten or a defuse. Unless you modify it to your own rules.
SW Addict 2015-08-12T13:14:49-04:00
Player 1 has to draw because the attack card was noped so it's like it wasn't even played (still discarded though).
Stalvos 2015-08-12T13:22:30-04:00
no box. no e-mail from support about my missing kittens. perhaps they exploded in transit?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T13:24:44-04:00
Stalvos, premature detonation? I don't know, they trained these kittens well.
If you emailed support, please be patient. A 10 day wait for a response is normal as they have thousands of emails and only a few people working through them. Also, please don't email them wondering why they haven't responded because that just adds to the mess. Just be patient and if after I'd say 2 weeks of no response, then panic at the disco and send them a new email request. explodingkittens@support.Blackbox.cool
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-12T13:37:51-04:00
Don't have the rules in front if me, but I believe a Nope stops a player from discarding a pair and the other special actions too.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T13:39:38-04:00
Trinkets, all but a defuse card and obviously an exploding kitten. It can even stop from the 5 different card set if you get it down quick enough.
Well, I sent the admins to hunt down their managers to get the approvals. And now I've sent it to the regional managers for them to go over and let me know if they approve.
Melissa 2015-08-12T14:28:51-04:00
Sweet! Got an email from EK, filled out the damage report, and they are sending me a new deck! Thank You! :)
Steven 2015-08-12T14:32:29-04:00
Hi, I received my cards yesterday and just played a few rounds of this great game :-) !. I have a question about one of these rounds a bit similar to CT_Dave's question. We where playing with three players. Player 1 played an attack card, Player 2 also played an attack card, Player 3 also played an attack card, Player 1 played a nope card. Who's turn is it now and how much cards does this player need to draw.
Joshua Herron 2015-08-12T14:39:16-04:00
Great Game and quality everything. Superb job!
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-08-12T14:43:58-04:00
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T14:44:52-04:00
Steven:
1 attacked
2 attacked, sending the turn to 3
3 attacked 1
1 noped 3's move, so now it goes back to 3 as his turn. The attack ends your turn and any affiliation with the next one. 3 now has to end his turn like normal or can use another Nope or Attack to send it back to 1.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T14:46:41-04:00
Aaaw, TeP! Why can't my kitty beg like that instead of just "MEAOW. MEEEOOOWW!!!!!! MEOW!" and looking like she wants to see us all dead unless she's fed in the next 1.3875 minutes?
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-12T14:59:00-04:00
To clarify, Player 3 has to draw 2 cards, since (s)he was the victim of an attack bedot his/her attack was Noped
Sean T Noonan 2015-08-12T15:04:06-04:00
Ordered four standard packs and received four NSFW decks; packing sheet confirms order. Emailed last week and haven't heard anything back. Anyone want to trade? Disappointed for sure.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T15:08:13-04:00
Sean: there are some problems with this many orders as you'd expect trying to ship nearly a million decks could cause. If you contacted explodingkittens@support.Blackbox.cool then please be patient as even without the tons of extra "why haven't you responded" emails, which they don't respond to, they only have a few people working on thousands of emails like yours. They may not respond, but I'd give them about 2 weeks or more just to be safe.
Steven 2015-08-12T15:08:27-04:00
Thanks Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson and Lord Zombitten, that makes sense!

Timothi 2015-08-12T15:36:42-04:00
Just got my box delivered. Had to pay the mailman 5.90 for the postage fees. The money isn't the issue, just the fact that you guys made me pay for shipping. Kinda sad that all the money you guys made off us backers and yet I still had to pay for shipping.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-12T15:38:39-04:00
@Elan, Thank you! It always makes us feel better hearing from you!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T15:39:33-04:00
Timothi, first off, they didn't "make" any money whatsoever off of this. Nobody became rich. Second, they tried not to make anyone pay shipping, so as far as I know, contact support and see if you can get the fee refunded which so far as I know is a viable option.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-12T15:40:28-04:00
@Timothi, you should not have been charged, heck, I live in Canada and I wasn't charged a thing. I think the posty got you man!

I feel bad to write this considering all the folks who are having problems getting their Kittens, but I just got a full second shipment of the game and only backed at the $35 level--this shipment doesn't have the uber cool packing slip the 1st one did however.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-12T18:12:48-04:00
Honestly Zem, it's about two thirds luck and one third being willing to take a shot. It just happened that I was going to be in town this weekend. I contacted the team to ask for some help on another issue and mentioned the fact, Elan suggested it.

Just wanted to let those waiting for an email response that it will happen. Just got mine from support@explodingkittens.com saying that my package should ship in a week or two. This alleviates some of the anxiety for my poor kittens.
MadJo 2015-08-12T20:13:42-04:00
@logan, I've been waiting on a response for over a week now. Blackbox didn't respond, and the EK team didn't either. I did send them another email just now, but I'm not holding my breath on this one.
MadJo 2015-08-12T20:17:00-04:00
Also, @Elan, for the love of kittens, make that an official Kickstarter update. These comment sections move very quickly. Within the next day that comment of yours is on page 5, and no one will scroll back that far.
Logan W. 2015-08-12T20:17:39-04:00
@MadJo: I never heard back from Blackbox, and I sent two emails to EK. Took about ten days to get a response.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T20:39:16-04:00
They don't always respond and they only have a few people working through thousands of emails, so it often takes more than a week. Please be patient with them.

If you have already sent an email to that address, just please try to be patient.

Suggestion for a future card addon to the deck would include some thing that can reverse the direction of play like UNO has the reverse cards.
right now an optional rule can allow playing a pair the option of getting a card or reversing the direction of play.

Yes, it is likely to be a current message for some time based on the posts I've seen.

Welcome back everyone.
Hi all, wasn't it one of the stretch goals, that we all will reveive two decks??? I don't get an answer from the team, so I ask the fans ;)
... let me look that up... NSFW expanded... NSFW its own standalone game... deluxe boxes... super secret surprise in boxes... nope, nothing about an extra free deck. You can check the goals on the campaign and updates pages. I don't see anything about that.
@René, if you purchased the NSFW $35.00 tier, then yes. You should have received two boxes, one red with the regular deck, and one black with the NSFW deck. If you only opted for the $20 regular deck, then no. You would only get the red box with the one regular deck in it.
I do have to say that I am actually surprised how well my gaming group likes Exploding Kittens. We usually do some of the heavier games and not much for the lighter fare. Caverna, Stone Age, Eldritch Horror, Firefly, Nations, Descent, Imperial Assault, Viceroy...etc.
It just goes to show that with a well designed game, fantastic artwork, and some off the wall humor, that everyone should love this game.
I think the NSFW deck is alot like CAH in that you can just whip it out in public at any time with little to no repercussion unless family is involved. These are great games for just carrying around for an opportunity where you have like 20 minutes and 1-4 friends.
So I have been playing this for a week now and it hasn't gotten old yet! My family was in town last weekend and we played with the normal deck and it was fantastic but then we had some friends over after they left and played the NSFW deck. No one could stop laughing! It was the most fun we have had in a long time (and we like to have fun)! Thanks for a great game!
After I got mine, I played over 30 games in the first 3 days! Most of those were at coffee shops over long periods of time with my brothers, which I found to be a great way to play.
I am really Impressed with tje quality of this product! Amazing job guys! I love it! :)
This just in. USPS now wants me to pay $8.90 to pick up my EK from the Post Office because FedEx Smart Post does not forward without charge. We were misinformed.
I'm now at my wit's end dealing with this entire shipping process. Either the package gets returned to sender or I take an hour+ off of my work day to stand in line at the post office and fork over money for shit I wasn't responsible for.
Anna, that's happened before, but for most of us, we didn't have to pick up the charge. But I think someone said last time it came up to contact explodingkittens@support.Blackbox.cool and they'll refund it because they want everyone to get their games like they promised. However, be forewarned; they have thousands of emails to deal with and only 3 crew members to do it, so a full week or easily more is a common wait time. Please don't keep emailing them asking why they haven't responded to your email yet because that just makes it take longer. I'd say if you don't get a response in 2 weeks, then look for recourse inlcuding emailing again.
Guys, I'm right, right? Am I crazy or did someone mention that they'd refund you if that happened because it wasn't supposed to be like that and they wanted us all to get them as promised. Help me out; I'm just one mattress against the neverending mighty hordes of people who got screwed by FedEx.
To be fair, it wasn't FedEx's fault, it's more USPS. But more information would be greatly appreciated.
I work one city over from where I live and my post office resides, so this entire dance that the USPS is making me do angers me greatly. I'm on my THIRD case number in their ticketing system in regards to this magical blue box containing kittens of the explosive variety.
Trust me, it's worth the hassle, though the hassle is stupid and unnecessary. I'm glad it worked great for most people, but I hope there is help for when it goes wrong as in your case. I really hope my memory serves me well in that refund! Don't quote me on it, but totally worth a shot if you ask me.
whoa, checked the dropbox top commenters thing on a whim and noticed Cha! and BaKhan both have 1946 comments! Must've been a good year.
I have a rules question, please let me know if this isn't the place for these. OK, three players . . . player one plays an action card that forces player two to draw twice. But player two slaps down a NOPE. Does player one then have to draw as usual or does play continue to player three? Thank you!
The attack card is nullified and so player one must continue his round as if you noped a see the future or something. Just that action is ended, so the rest of the turn proceeds as normal.
Unless, of course, you have another nope to make a YEP! or another attack to hit him again. I've gotten someone in the very end in a heated battle that went something like "ATTACK! NOPE! YEP! NOPE! YEP! NOPE! ATTACK! DANG IT!"
Ahhh . . . . thanks. So you can NOPE anything?? I didn't know you could use it against someone's "see the future".
Anything but an exploding kitten or a defuse. Unless you modify it to your own rules.
Player 1 has to draw because the attack card was noped so it's like it wasn't even played (still discarded though).
no box. no e-mail from support about my missing kittens. perhaps they exploded in transit?
Stalvos, premature detonation? I don't know, they trained these kittens well.
If you emailed support, please be patient. A 10 day wait for a response is normal as they have thousands of emails and only a few people working through them. Also, please don't email them wondering why they haven't responded because that just adds to the mess. Just be patient and if after I'd say 2 weeks of no response, then panic at the disco and send them a new email request. explodingkittens@support.Blackbox.cool
Don't have the rules in front if me, but I believe a Nope stops a player from discarding a pair and the other special actions too.
Trinkets, all but a defuse card and obviously an exploding kitten. It can even stop from the 5 different card set if you get it down quick enough.
Yay, I get lunch at a somewhat normal hour today...all because I'm waiting on approvals. -.-
didn't you say you needed those before 10 am or else you got to fry some fools?
Well, I sent the admins to hunt down their managers to get the approvals. And now I've sent it to the regional managers for them to go over and let me know if they approve.
Sweet! Got an email from EK, filled out the damage report, and they are sending me a new deck! Thank You! :)
Hi, I received my cards yesterday and just played a few rounds of this great game :-) !. I have a question about one of these rounds a bit similar to CT_Dave's question. We where playing with three players. Player 1 played an attack card, Player 2 also played an attack card, Player 3 also played an attack card, Player 1 played a nope card. Who's turn is it now and how much cards does this player need to draw.
Great Game and quality everything. Superb job!
http://9gag.com/gag/aepAjrp - For Creeper's Kittens!
Steven:
1 attacked
2 attacked, sending the turn to 3
3 attacked 1
1 noped 3's move, so now it goes back to 3 as his turn. The attack ends your turn and any affiliation with the next one. 3 now has to end his turn like normal or can use another Nope or Attack to send it back to 1.
Aaaw, TeP! Why can't my kitty beg like that instead of just "MEAOW. MEEEOOOWW!!!!!! MEOW!" and looking like she wants to see us all dead unless she's fed in the next 1.3875 minutes?
To clarify, Player 3 has to draw 2 cards, since (s)he was the victim of an attack bedot his/her attack was Noped
Ordered four standard packs and received four NSFW decks; packing sheet confirms order. Emailed last week and haven't heard anything back. Anyone want to trade? Disappointed for sure.
Sean: there are some problems with this many orders as you'd expect trying to ship nearly a million decks could cause. If you contacted explodingkittens@support.Blackbox.cool then please be patient as even without the tons of extra "why haven't you responded" emails, which they don't respond to, they only have a few people working on thousands of emails like yours. They may not respond, but I'd give them about 2 weeks or more just to be safe.
Thanks Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson and Lord Zombitten, that makes sense!
Hey guys,

If you need to contact us, please DO NOT MESSAGE US ON KICKSTARTER or FACEBOOK. Instead, please write us at support@explodingkittens.com, and we'll get your issues addressed as quickly as possible.

Thanks!

The Creator hath spoken!
Totally understand, still disappointed; sounds like folks are having fun. I just forwarded my original email to Blackbox support as recommended below.
Just got my box delivered. Had to pay the mailman 5.90 for the postage fees. The money isn't the issue, just the fact that you guys made me pay for shipping. Kinda sad that all the money you guys made off us backers and yet I still had to pay for shipping.
@Elan, Thank you! It always makes us feel better hearing from you!
Timothi, first off, they didn't "make" any money whatsoever off of this. Nobody became rich. Second, they tried not to make anyone pay shipping, so as far as I know, contact support and see if you can get the fee refunded which so far as I know is a viable option.
@Timothi, you should not have been charged, heck, I live in Canada and I wasn't charged a thing. I think the posty got you man!
Received EK today and absolutely loved the surprise!! Ron, on the other hand, went into red alert mode:

Never got my confirmation Email, & thus never got my box delivered...meanwhile, my roommate got his like everyone else I know did.
Hail! Hail! For the Creator came and layeth his wisdom upon us!
Really, @Bob? 8 comments before yours Elan the Creator popped in with exactly what you are asking for.
But because scrolling down is too hard, here you go.

Along with kickstarter messaging and Facebook, I also would throw in that tweeting them about you issues would fall in deaf ears.
KC members. New post on the club board, you're going to want to check it out.
How do you keep doing this, PoT?!
@PoT: You want to fly me down to L.A to join in? PLEASE? Aside from that, sounds good. I would post there, but forgot all my information for it...need to find it again.
I feel bad to write this considering all the folks who are having problems getting their Kittens, but I just got a full second shipment of the game and only backed at the $35 level--this shipment doesn't have the uber cool packing slip the 1st one did however.
Honestly Zem, it's about two thirds luck and one third being willing to take a shot. It just happened that I was going to be in town this weekend. I contacted the team to ask for some help on another issue and mentioned the fact, Elan suggested it.
Okay, I'm jealous
stream the whole thing on twitch or something.
So... hey you... oat meal team.. how do i get my box back from ya'll since the stupid shippers got my address all screwed up and sent it back to ya'll..... i'm so pissed at fed ex or USPS... any ideas... i really want my box.

Just wanted to let those waiting for an email response that it will happen. Just got mine from support@explodingkittens.com saying that my package should ship in a week or two. This alleviates some of the anxiety for my poor kittens.
@logan, I've been waiting on a response for over a week now. Blackbox didn't respond, and the EK team didn't either. I did send them another email just now, but I'm not holding my breath on this one.
Also, @Elan, for the love of kittens, make that an official Kickstarter update. These comment sections move very quickly. Within the next day that comment of yours is on page 5, and no one will scroll back that far.
@MadJo: I never heard back from Blackbox, and I sent two emails to EK. Took about ten days to get a response.
They don't always respond and they only have a few people working through thousands of emails, so it often takes more than a week. Please be patient with them.

I still have not received my shipping confirmation or the shipment. Other friends in my area have received their games. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Sirs,
I have now played three games of Exploding Kitten with my friends and, despite being completely satisfied with the product as well as the project experience, during the last game, my head exploded from having too much fun. I would like a refund processed immediately.

If you have already sent an email to that address, just please try to be patient. There are only three people going through all those emails, everytime you send another, or a why didn't you answer me email, it will just take them longer to help everyone. Don't worry, they'll get you your kittens soon!
Good morning corps!
G' Mornin' all.
good morning all...
shipping confirmation received in Mexico...
Have a great day...
Morning Corp. How is everyone today?
Just got the kittens in Singapore! Love the personalized delivery message and the surprise :)
Suggestion for a future card addon to the deck would include some thing that can reverse the direction of play like UNO has the reverse cards.
right now an optional rule can allow playing a pair the option of getting a card or reversing the direction of play.
@lord zombitten, ha! That is funny to see another Buckner, we are a rare breed. But evidently we all have good taste.
@Jeff Buckner, indeed we do!
Quiet day in here today it seems.
Shhhh!
*creeps into the corner and waits*
What are we waiting for?
*ssshhhhhh*
Oh, sorry. *whispers* what are we waiting for?
