Scrunchie meows and yells at me when i take to long to get the food. The new kittens are learning to meow at me. One kinda whispers and then backs off. Another walks up to me, hisses and just stares. Doesn't quite get the concept yet.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-08-13T15:03:27-04:00
Oh sure, when I'm trying to deal with the stupidity of people you all decide to talk. Fine then, I see how it is. I'll be taking all my flannel sleeves back then.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-08-13T15:12:16-04:00
....Fine, but only if I get your first born to be a slave in the mines....the old herd is dying off.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-13T16:15:30-04:00
....totally worth it
Traci Jarrett 2015-08-13T17:21:01-04:00
My box stopped meowing the second day. :(
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-13T17:29:51-04:00
@Traci, did you give tacocat enough light? If that doesn't work, you may need to adjust the sensor. Good luck!
Granite26 2015-08-13T17:39:30-04:00
First day in a week we didn't play....
Javier Palenzuela 2015-08-13T17:55:57-04:00

Unless I am missing something I find the ending of the game to be very anticlimactic. It often is no mystery as to where the last kitten card is.
@hb I don't think you're doing it wrong. The game isn't really a game of chance, it's a game of dealing with that chance.
.
Tbh, more games end with nothing BUT kittens in the deck than otherwise.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-13T19:47:00-04:00
Seriously KC members. After tonight I'm not going to be able to access the club forum, so if you have stuff you think is important to communicate, get over to the club board and let me know there.
Stalvos 2015-08-13T19:53:44-04:00
Guess I'm playing the waiting game. No kittens and no response from support. Maybe next month...
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-13T19:56:33-04:00
Haven't been on all day because my brother had the computer the whole time. How's everyone's days going?
Tony Leach 2015-08-13T20:15:33-04:00
I didn't get my kittens game, even though I got a shipment email. Why didn't my kittens arrive? (USPS and FedEx told me it's not on them...)
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-13T20:36:08-04:00
PoT, I don't have anything else to add to the agenda. The only other things I can think of are expansion-related; and they can wait until Elan et al aren't crazy busy with KS fulfillment
David Do 2015-08-13T20:36:13-04:00
I'm having the same problem Tony.
I filed a claim to USPS, but Fedex can't do anything
Emily Olson 2015-08-13T21:33:53-04:00
I received a delivery notice in the mail today from the USPS with the tracking number of my Kittens game, as supplied by FedEx. However, the notice is requesting payment for postage due. Has anyone else gotten this notice?
You're the first that I've heard of this happening, Emily. Where are you located?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-13T22:12:34-04:00
Emily: Don't listen to Creeper, she hasn't been on much in awhile. BTW, creeper, hi!
The best I can do for you is email support@explodingkittens.com about this and so far as I've ever heard (not much) they'll refund it. Don't quote me on it, but it's definitely worth a shot. Also, wait up to 2 weeks for the email; they only have a few people working through thousands of emails, so it's going to take some time. Patience pays off.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-13T22:33:22-04:00
To give you all a clue about how awesome these guys are, do you remember the guy who came on a while back with a link to his FB pics of his Exploding Kittens that got run over because he accidentally left them om top of his car? I sent him one of my playtest decks. He contacted me today to let me know that he's returning the PT deck because EK sent him a replacement NSFW package. These guys rock! They will do everything in their power to make sure everyone gets their stuff for the price they have already paid!
Good for you for standing up for the other employee! (Unless they're actually really bad)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-13T22:47:54-04:00
Have fun with that situation. Was one of them actually worth firing?
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-13T22:54:42-04:00
No, they're both good employees. The one just doesn't like the other. She thinks she's too slow. But the one being slow doesn't actually affect the other, so it's all silly.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-13T23:01:25-04:00
On an unrelated note, did you know the first two seasons of Hannibal are on Prime Instant Video?
I know what I'm doing tonight!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-13T23:03:46-04:00
I was gonna try to start the heists on GTA online, but then we started talking here. Who knows, I'll likely still do them later. Haven't gotten into a show since Breaking Bad, which I watched more for fun, except for a couple I've been caught up with since they aired. Can't wait for the next seasons, primarily of Sherlock, which I've been with since the first day it aired, and Dr. Who, which I have as well.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-13T23:04:25-04:00
Well, the reboot of Dr. Who anyways, but you could've figured that out as it's pretty obvious I'm not well over 50.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-13T23:09:18-04:00
Indeed. On yet another unrelated note, Little LZ has decided his two favorite MK characters are Sub Zero and Scorpion (to watch, he hasn't played...yet), and Dient Tsung cheats.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-13T23:09:49-04:00
Damn autocorrect! He thinks Shang Tsung cheats
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-13T23:12:42-04:00
*circling back: you know what the dumbest part is? I've gotten approval to hire another FTE, so there will be another person to pick up any perceived slack!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-13T23:13:37-04:00
He probably does. Sub Zero is awesome, though I've never played it myself.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-13T23:13:47-04:00
Grrr! I haven't even officially started yet, and I'm already going home feeling like I need a stiff drink. This does not bode well, I fear.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-13T23:16:38-04:00
If it were MK I, I'd agree that Shang Tsung probably cheats. I was playing MK Armageddon, though. Shang Tsung is just a regular schmuck in that game. I just happened to lose because he was near the top of the enemy list for that fight sequence, and it had been more than a year since I had played
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-13T23:29:09-04:00
G' Night cats. I'm out until Monday when I'll have a full report on the forum. Peace.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-13T23:30:24-04:00
I love how people were so uptight about the gory finishing moves in the original games. Have you seen the x-ray moves and finishers for MK X?! That stuff is crazy!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-13T23:30:49-04:00
Good night and good bye, PoT! Can't wait to hear about it!!!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-13T23:32:15-04:00
You're just training for the new job so far and it's already that trying? Bet you can't wait!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-13T23:41:41-04:00
This is actually not representative of what it will be like all the time. Personnel issues are always going to be the most difficult, but they're fairly rare in my lab
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-13T23:42:20-04:00
I've only seen trailers for MK X. It looks like a really cool game
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-13T23:51:00-04:00
watch some people play it on youtube. There're some great videos of it and the cutscenes are really creepy. Maybe little LZ should avoid that game for awhile. But definitely looks like a great game for anyone who already watches R rated movies.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-13T23:51:51-04:00
Well now you have to find a person to replace them if they're really going to leave over that, which will be stressful, but other than that seems like a great opportunity.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-13T23:53:46-04:00
Gotcha. I still remember when Little LZ came into the room where I was watching the second season of MK Legacy, just in time to see Scorpion rip Sub Zero's head and spinal column off. He reacted better than I thought he would
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-13T23:56:59-04:00
Yeah. Overall, I'm looking forward to it. That and the $10k/year raise that comes with it.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-14T00:13:39-04:00
that's the great opportunity I mentioned.
Well, someone does rip people's spines out, but it's pretty creepy and sometimes funny.
Zain Hamzah 2015-08-14T03:40:44-04:00
Woohoo, kittens have arrived here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!!! However, my box was missing the personal note that was supposed to be inside...
Anyone else missing that little thank you note?
Any chance of getting it? Really wanted to frame it up!
Matt 2015-08-14T03:48:38-04:00
I play this with my class of 11 year olds. They cannot get enough of it! A triple nope on a defuse can lift the roof off my classroom with 30 cries of anguish or glee. Exceptionally awesome game, thanks Elan!
Glen Smith 2015-08-14T08:41:08-04:00
@Matt You can play any house rules you want, but I'm pretty sure the official rules say that the nope cards do not affect either Defuse or Exploding Kitteh cards. It took us a while to figure out the rules, mostly because we were all too busy reading each of the cards to bother with the rule poster.
Mark McLane 2015-08-14T09:48:04-04:00
I have not received a shipping email or the game itself in the mail. Everyone else I know has received their games. Have I done something wrong? I filled out the survey when it came in, not sure what to do other than wallow in self pity.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-14T10:10:44-04:00
@Zain, email them at explodingkittens@support.Blackbox.cool and at support@explodingkittens.com, put in the subject of the email that you didn't receive your packing slip and in the body explain your situation. You may or may not receive an email in response, they are really busy, but will get you taken care of.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-14T10:13:22-04:00
@Mark, read the reply to @Zain below this comment. The same goes for you. Just make a specific yet concise subject for the email so it helps them get it figured out sooner. Again, you will probably not hear anything from them for a while. Then out if the blue, you may oray bot receive an email with shipping info.
GoonerWA 2015-08-14T10:47:36-04:00
Thank you for a great game
My son, 8, wants me to say he gives it 10/10 even though he was exploded three times this evening.
Chel 2015-08-14T10:58:46-04:00
I know you all are busy but me having to message you over here is kinda annoying me. I have sent MULTIPLE emails to both you AND Blackbox due to you guys have the wrong zip code on the package and it has been bouncing around since June 29th. Fed ex just told me it will be sent back to you. I would like SOME sort of reply on this since MULTIPLE emails were sent over a week span of this happening.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-14T11:30:23-04:00
Multiple emails only serves to slow everything down for everyone. If you sent an email, your issues will be addressed. There are three people handling thousands of emails. Most people are reporting that a response has taken ten or more days to come. Hang in there, they'll take care of you.

Received mine last week in Oregon. Game is great, high quality on everything I am impressed and can't wait to play again. The 5 other people I played with loved it too and will be looking for the game when it is available retail!

I just received my package with decks missing. I ordered 3x of each from $35 reward and got only 1x NSFW deck alone, that was the big surprise? That was $105 for 1x NSFW deck plus $32 delivery fees. I want my 5 missing decks and the boxes.
Thank you for my decks! Have played one of them with a ten year old. The "enhanced box" is a big hit with the grandkids and me! Thanks again
Mike Fisher 2015-08-14T15:26:57-04:00
Ok, seems like a lot of people are missing decks. I've tried emailing BlackBox and the support on exploding kittens website and have yet to receive a reply. Has anyone else had luck?
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-14T15:51:50-04:00
Mike, it seems that there's a minimum of 10 days before you get a response because of the crazy large number of emails they are getting
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-14T15:52:20-04:00

Kelly Lowe 2015-08-14T16:06:38-04:00
The game is great! I love it. The only issue I have is that the meow noise maker does not work on the 3 boxes I got. Is anybody else seeing this issue? Is there a way I can fix it?
John "Collar Stay" Kelly 2015-08-14T16:41:30-04:00
@Kelly - They are light sensitive. Could that be the issue?

ALSO FOR THOSE MESSAGING SUPPORT:
Please be patient. A 10+ day wait for a response is normal. They only have a few people working on thousands of emails, so please sit tight and trust me, you will be helped. They really do want everyone to get what they ordered no matter what. Also, DO NOT SEND MULTIPLE MESSAGES unless they've taken more than about 2 weeks. That just clogs the system and makes it much more complicated to work through. Understand it will take time and if you bombard them with multiple messages it takes that much longer to sort everyone out. Thank you all for your patience and understanding and I hope all your problems are solved swiftly and in full!
Jean-Francois Drapeau 2015-08-14T21:52:54-04:00
Greetings from Quebec City, Canada. Received my game (1 deck + 1 nsfw deck) the 4th of august but never got a chance to play until today. Really impressed with the quality and everyone in the family is enjoying it :)
Kelly Lowe 2015-08-14T22:14:48-04:00

It got here pretty fast, since it had to go through customs and such.
The box is really great, the game is great, and the SECRET is great!
Thank you guys for having such a blast!
PS: Trying to figure out the best way to turn it into a drinking game... Any ideas? :)
Guilherme you can replace defusing the exploding kitten with taking a shot? Lol

Gameplay question....
You draw an exploding kitten and play your Defuse card...but someone puts a Nope on it...
Can u then play another Defuse card if u have one in your hand?
We can't see an answer to this in the instructions
Thanks in advance for any replies
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-15T11:55:31-04:00
@GoonerWA,
Please reread the rules regarding Nope cards. There are 2 things Nope cards CAN NOT do.
#1) You CAN NOT Nope an Exploding Kitten
B) You CAN NOR Nope a Defuse
You can defuse all other cards and even the special actions such as discarding a pair to take a card at random.
Ruben van Ophuizen 2015-08-15T14:11:55-04:00
Hey, I was promised Boob Dragons and Weaponized Pork Missiles! =(
Minor boob- and pork related disappointment aside, I received the decks, and just played my first game with a couple buddies. I ate dirt at the end, but it was a blast! Definitely gonna be a gamenight mainstay. =D

Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-15T14:54:45-04:00
MadJo, I've been here since January helping out anyone who cared to ask one of several thousands of times how to change their address, if they still could, why their survey hasn't come in, how to change their address, why this hasn't become an update, how these will ship, why they haven't shipped a million decks by now, dang it, it's march, and how to change their address. We love this past-time, though, so if you're only going to push down the copy&pasted comments that ARE TOO IN THE UPDATES, not that anyone ever cares about that, please leave it to the unpaid professionals who made a small community and have fun together.

Nope, GM! I'm keeping mine!
....Fine, but only if I get your first born to be a slave in the mines....the old herd is dying off.

Hi, every-body!
HI LZ!
How's life since the last time you came on, Creeper?
I had fun today! One of my employees announced that she's looking for another job because I refuse to fire another one of my employees. Yaaaay!
Since three hours ago? Delightful!
Good for you for standing up for the other employee! (Unless they're actually really bad)
Have fun with that situation. Was one of them actually worth firing?
No, they're both good employees. The one just doesn't like the other. She thinks she's too slow. But the one being slow doesn't actually affect the other, so it's all silly.
On an unrelated note, did you know the first two seasons of Hannibal are on Prime Instant Video?
I know what I'm doing tonight!
I was gonna try to start the heists on GTA online, but then we started talking here. Who knows, I'll likely still do them later. Haven't gotten into a show since Breaking Bad, which I watched more for fun, except for a couple I've been caught up with since they aired. Can't wait for the next seasons, primarily of Sherlock, which I've been with since the first day it aired, and Dr. Who, which I have as well.
Well, the reboot of Dr. Who anyways, but you could've figured that out as it's pretty obvious I'm not well over 50.
Indeed. On yet another unrelated note, Little LZ has decided his two favorite MK characters are Sub Zero and Scorpion (to watch, he hasn't played...yet), and Dient Tsung cheats.
Damn autocorrect! He thinks Shang Tsung cheats
*circling back: you know what the dumbest part is? I've gotten approval to hire another FTE, so there will be another person to pick up any perceived slack!
He probably does. Sub Zero is awesome, though I've never played it myself.
Grrr! I haven't even officially started yet, and I'm already going home feeling like I need a stiff drink. This does not bode well, I fear.
If it were MK I, I'd agree that Shang Tsung probably cheats. I was playing MK Armageddon, though. Shang Tsung is just a regular schmuck in that game. I just happened to lose because he was near the top of the enemy list for that fight sequence, and it had been more than a year since I had played
G' Night cats. I'm out until Monday when I'll have a full report on the forum. Peace.
I love how people were so uptight about the gory finishing moves in the original games. Have you seen the x-ray moves and finishers for MK X?! That stuff is crazy!
Good night and good bye, PoT! Can't wait to hear about it!!!
You're just training for the new job so far and it's already that trying? Bet you can't wait!
This is actually not representative of what it will be like all the time. Personnel issues are always going to be the most difficult, but they're fairly rare in my lab
I've only seen trailers for MK X. It looks like a really cool game
watch some people play it on youtube. There're some great videos of it and the cutscenes are really creepy. Maybe little LZ should avoid that game for awhile. But definitely looks like a great game for anyone who already watches R rated movies.
Well now you have to find a person to replace them if they're really going to leave over that, which will be stressful, but other than that seems like a great opportunity.
Gotcha. I still remember when Little LZ came into the room where I was watching the second season of MK Legacy, just in time to see Scorpion rip Sub Zero's head and spinal column off. He reacted better than I thought he would
Yeah. Overall, I'm looking forward to it. That and the $10k/year raise that comes with it.
that's the great opportunity I mentioned.
Well, someone does rip people's spines out, but it's pretty creepy and sometimes funny.
Woohoo, kittens have arrived here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!!! However, my box was missing the personal note that was supposed to be inside...
Anyone else missing that little thank you note?
Any chance of getting it? Really wanted to frame it up!
I play this with my class of 11 year olds. They cannot get enough of it! A triple nope on a defuse can lift the roof off my classroom with 30 cries of anguish or glee. Exceptionally awesome game, thanks Elan!
@Matt You can play any house rules you want, but I'm pretty sure the official rules say that the nope cards do not affect either Defuse or Exploding Kitteh cards. It took us a while to figure out the rules, mostly because we were all too busy reading each of the cards to bother with the rule poster.
I have not received a shipping email or the game itself in the mail. Everyone else I know has received their games. Have I done something wrong? I filled out the survey when it came in, not sure what to do other than wallow in self pity.
@Zain, email them at explodingkittens@support.Blackbox.cool and at support@explodingkittens.com, put in the subject of the email that you didn't receive your packing slip and in the body explain your situation. You may or may not receive an email in response, they are really busy, but will get you taken care of.
@Mark, read the reply to @Zain below this comment. The same goes for you. Just make a specific yet concise subject for the email so it helps them get it figured out sooner. Again, you will probably not hear anything from them for a while. Then out if the blue, you may oray bot receive an email with shipping info.
Thank you for a great game
My son, 8, wants me to say he gives it 10/10 even though he was exploded three times this evening.
I know you all are busy but me having to message you over here is kinda annoying me. I have sent MULTIPLE emails to both you AND Blackbox due to you guys have the wrong zip code on the package and it has been bouncing around since June 29th. Fed ex just told me it will be sent back to you. I would like SOME sort of reply on this since MULTIPLE emails were sent over a week span of this happening.
Multiple emails only serves to slow everything down for everyone. If you sent an email, your issues will be addressed. There are three people handling thousands of emails. Most people are reporting that a response has taken ten or more days to come. Hang in there, they'll take care of you.

Hey guys,
We're still hard at work and want to get all the issues sorted out quickly, so we need your help to focus. We have too many inboxes! 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. (Plus then we get to use a real mail system with labels, routing, keyboard shortcuts, and pretty colors)
Thanks!
Elan
Received mine last week in Oregon. Game is great, high quality on everything I am impressed and can't wait to play again. The 5 other people I played with loved it too and will be looking for the game when it is available retail!
Nicholas, if you go to www.explodingkittens.com you can sign up to receive an email notification when it becomes available for purchase.
I just received my package with decks missing. I ordered 3x of each from $35 reward and got only 1x NSFW deck alone, that was the big surprise? That was $105 for 1x NSFW deck plus $32 delivery fees. I want my 5 missing decks and the boxes.
@Babrizio, you need to write support@explodingkittens.com. Complaining here will achieve nothing.
Thank you for my decks! Have played one of them with a ten year old. The "enhanced box" is a big hit with the grandkids and me! Thanks again
Ok, seems like a lot of people are missing decks. I've tried emailing BlackBox and the support on exploding kittens website and have yet to receive a reply. Has anyone else had luck?
Mike, it seems that there's a minimum of 10 days before you get a response because of the crazy large number of emails they are getting
Hola, peeps and pepes. How's life been against "y'a'll's"?
The game is great! I love it. The only issue I have is that the meow noise maker does not work on the 3 boxes I got. Is anybody else seeing this issue? Is there a way I can fix it?
@Kelly - They are light sensitive. Could that be the issue?
@Kelly, this from Creeper:

Wow, such a busy day here. Glad I didn't miss anything important.
I'm in Australia and I haven't received my yet :(
Rikka and all else having troubles receiving their decks: Fear not!

ALSO FOR THOSE MESSAGING SUPPORT:
Please be patient. A 10+ day wait for a response is normal. They only have a few people working on thousands of emails, so please sit tight and trust me, you will be helped. They really do want everyone to get what they ordered no matter what. Also, DO NOT SEND MULTIPLE MESSAGES unless they've taken more than about 2 weeks. That just clogs the system and makes it much more complicated to work through. Understand it will take time and if you bombard them with multiple messages it takes that much longer to sort everyone out. Thank you all for your patience and understanding and I hope all your problems are solved swiftly and in full!
Greetings from Quebec City, Canada. Received my game (1 deck + 1 nsfw deck) the 4th of august but never got a chance to play until today. Really impressed with the quality and everyone in the family is enjoying it :)
Thanks all for the advice and links! It was indeed because I was opening them in too dark of a space. I opened them in a bright area and they worked great. Thanks again!
Thank you very much!
Hi,
I don't know if anyone else had this problem, but my red box came in damaged both inside and outside.
Could you let me know if I can get a replacement, please?
Thanks for your hard work.

Got mine here in Brazil yesterday!
It got here pretty fast, since it had to go through customs and such.
The box is really great, the game is great, and the SECRET is great!
Thank you guys for having such a blast!
PS: Trying to figure out the best way to turn it into a drinking game... Any ideas? :)
Guilherme you can replace defusing the exploding kitten with taking a shot? Lol
Glad I checked the comments before contacting Elan or emailing support again.
Will sit tight and wait...
Box of 4 decks and 4 NSFW decks, with poster and letter arrived in South East PA. I was very impressed with the packing. Thanks guys. Will be playing Kittens with the family this weekend!
Just got the Kittens this afternoon. Missing the personal note. But love the surprise.. Meow...@!@
;D
Gameplay question....
You draw an exploding kitten and play your Defuse card...but someone puts a Nope on it...
Can u then play another Defuse card if u have one in your hand?
We can't see an answer to this in the instructions
Thanks in advance for any replies
@GoonerWA,
Please reread the rules regarding Nope cards. There are 2 things Nope cards CAN NOT do.
#1) You CAN NOT Nope an Exploding Kitten
B) You CAN NOR Nope a Defuse
You can defuse all other cards and even the special actions such as discarding a pair to take a card at random.
Hey, I was promised Boob Dragons and Weaponized Pork Missiles! =(
Minor boob- and pork related disappointment aside, I received the decks, and just played my first game with a couple buddies. I ate dirt at the end, but it was a blast! Definitely gonna be a gamenight mainstay. =D
Wake me, when the EK team has decided to stop relying on their fans to copy and paste their comments and alleviate any worries that people waiting on their orders might have.
MadJo, I've been here since January helping out anyone who cared to ask one of several thousands of times how to change their address, if they still could, why their survey hasn't come in, how to change their address, why this hasn't become an update, how these will ship, why they haven't shipped a million decks by now, dang it, it's march, and how to change their address. We love this past-time, though, so if you're only going to push down the copy&pasted comments that ARE TOO IN THE UPDATES, not that anyone ever cares about that, please leave it to the unpaid professionals who made a small community and have fun together.
