Exploding Kittens Let's Hit Each Other With Fake Swords Party Game

Super fun game! Great for a wide range of ages and abilities. Pretty easy to learn and people can come up with their own creative strategies. The foam swords held up pretty well for us, but they could easily be replaced by pool noodles if needed.

Our kids were excited about this game and had a lot of fun playing . . . . two or three times before the swords broke. How are there not cheap replacement foam pieces for the swords? We are big fans of Exploding Kittens games, but this was a miss.

Fun game to play with the family but one of the swords broke pretty quickly.

As a parent, I was excited to get this game for my kids since it seemed like a fun and easy way to get some laughs. And at first, it was! Unfortunately, one of the swords broke on just the third time we played, which was really disappointing. To make matters worse, there are no replacement parts available, meaning the whole game is basically useless now. After checking other reviews, it seems like durability is a common issue, which is frustrating for a children’s game. I expected better quality for something designed to be played repeatedly.

Super cute! My 4 kids love this game and took turns playing each other often since I gifted it to them for Christmas.

It’s such a fun game! We will see how long the swords last but they’ve held up well so far!

I enjoyed this game so much, but near the end of our game a sword broke. We just got it and we were bummed out that we couldn't play any more.

This game is so fun but the sword broke the first day we played. The duel instructions are seriously hilarious and kept us laughing. Just hate that the sword broke after a few fights.

The perfect edition to family game night!

It’s a holiday gift for family, it looks like they will have fun playing!

Me and my family love playing this game, were hesitant to buy it, but it is very controlled. I thought it would be rambunctious sword fighting leading to fights, but my family had a great time, no fighting at all.

It’s super fun! The cards make give it a twist which makes it so much more fun

Remember doing this as a kid? Perhaps with a stick? Broom? The cardboard tube within wrapping paper? We do! And it was a fun, well, until you broke Grandma's urn or your little brother required several stitches that would eventually become a funny story he tells at high school parties. This game takes all of that childhood dramedy and turns it into a structured game. Well, about as structured as such a game can be. These fun modifiers come into play with each sword duel and you'll find them in a varying degree of intensity. Overall a really fun party game! You'll need lots of room, or some level of self-control and spatial awareness. We play outside, but it could be ok to play in a large room. Away from Granny's curio cabinet. Just remember it is a game, and not the Game of Thrones. If you love very physical, and silly games that make adults do things that they otherwise would not in public, then grab this!

We had a group of 4 friends play this game after dinner. The booklet made the setup, rules, and win condition clear from the get-go.After a single round, we fully understood the appeal. Like a session of Tag, playing the game evoked in each of us a childlike necessity to dodge, duck, dip, and dive, anything to get out of the way of each other's swords.New rules from random cards, common knowledge of your opponents' hands, and the encouraged spoken-aloud strategizing all make the gameplay incredibly variable from round to round and game to game. We look forward to playing this game again with a larger group.

Exploding Kittens is back again with an incredibly interactive, raucous, and chaotic party game. It’s a bit reminiscent of the Throw-Throw series, but it feels much more controlled and streamlined. It’s as fun to watch your friends duke it out as it is to play yourself. If you liked the Throw-Throw series, this is a fantastic addition to that genre of party games.

I personally didn't play this but gave it to some cousins with younger kids and they had a blast playing the game! They loved having the physical aspect of it but it was also a great introduction to card games for them. The idea for the game is super fun and I love seeing all the unique ideas that EK has!

A fun out of the box game that allows you to go after your family members and friends and maybe get that sweet revenge you secretly always craved. This games put Grandma against grandkids, parents against kids, and sibling against sibling in a laugh out loud dual that will keep you playing for hours.

My kids LOVE playing this game! (Ages 18, 15, and 11)

We decided that you can only truly know how awesome a game is once you’ve played it with a bunch of different people, a bunch of different times. So, our Fourth of July was the perfect opportunity to pull out the fake swords and get to dueling! We had about 20 people all together and I don’t think a single person wasn’t laughing so hard that they were crying at some point. Sprinkle on a little Throw Throw Burrito (giant inflatable version OBVIOUSLY) and you have a great time and a lovely outlet for any aggression you build up after spending that much time with that many family members! Another AMAZING and HILARIOUS game to add to our giant collection.P.S. The fake swords are also perfect for out-of-game battles that must be dealt with. Who needs rock, paper, scissors, right?

In the vein of EK’s Throw-Throw games emerges a new challenge. A card game with frequent foam sword fights. The kids love it and play it with their friends when they visit. Great job, EK, you’ve done it again.
