Q: So, this is just the game "Love Letter" with a different skin, stolen by another company?
submitted by AtLeastImTryin - 1 year ago
A: No theft was involved! Think of it like this: Power Hungry Pets and Love Letter purposely teamed up, like two dogs on a mission to bury a bone. No sneaky business here—just a paw-shake agreement to dig together.

We love Exploding Kittens and Mantis so we wanted to try a new game. We got this one for Christmas and love it. It is a great game even if you only have two players and is perfect for travel and small spaces as there are only 21 cards and you don't need a lot of table space to play. You can make it an endless game by just tracking wins or you can play a few quick hands.
Fun game

Great game, easy to learn. My 11yo loves it and because the rounds are not long you can play quickly games or longer games doing more rounds.Only question is if you play a 5 and someone has a 10. It forces them to play their card, are they eliminated or not? As the 5 says without performing the action but 10 says if put down for any reason.....help?!
Quick and Fun

When a 3 Battle Bunny is used, if a player has the 0 Royal Robovac and the other has 10 King Cat, who is eliminated? We have an argument for either but would love an official answer.

Absolutely love this game. It's quick, it's easy to understand, and it's also strategic(ish). We've played many times already as a couple and with friends. I keep it in the truck so it's always with us. Great game for anyone really.
Amazing

We love this game! I brought it on my trip to visit my grandkids and they wanted to keep the game with them - they couldn't get enough of it. The strategy involved was perfect for my grandkids to figure out. Just when you think you might win, you're out! Fun for the whole family! I need to buy one to keep at my house.

We liked it! We played with a 7yo, a12yo and an aged relic. It was easy to get how to play and the rounds went quickly, so the aged relic didn't fall asleep waiting for their turn. There were snakes and snails and turtles and hermit crabs but no rats (mice don't count according to the 7yo).She felt this would be easy to fix in future editions. So yeah, 5 stars all around! Please note: the 7yo won the game.
Fun game!

We like a fast paced game but not TOO fast paced, so this hit the spot. Super easy to learn (definitely watch the video). We had fun playing with two but we're really looking forward to playing with 3 or 4.
Fast and fun

Kids and I love this game. It plays fast and is easy to learn but has lots of room for strategy. Artwork is great and hilarious as with all Exploding Kittens games.
Good with two, better with 3 or 4

As per usual, Exploding Kittens has made a fun paced game that's easy for everyone to understand (watch the video, skip the instructions!). My 12 yo and I enjoy playing it but it really shines with bigger groups.
A Lot Of Fun For All Kinds Of People

we played Power Hungry Pets with a group of 6 and overall it was positively received!! relatively easy to pick up...our second game went quick!! even the person who doesn’t normally enjoy this type of game liked the twists & turns & how every game can be different!! those elimination rules were wild and really made us laugh. we were concerned about replayability over time with the same group BUT playing with different age ranges in different circles would definitely avoid that. overall a great game at a reasonable price!!
Easy but strategic.

Another winner from Exploding Kittens. The game is easy to learn but involves a bit of strategy. What cards have been played? Which are left? What is in my opponents’ hands? How can I position myself to be in the best place at the end without being eliminated? Lots to think about with only one card in our hand. We played with a wide range of ages and all were enjoying the fun. One note that the box says game length is 15 minutes. I would say the average game is longer than that, mostly because you are enjoying the banter among players as they vie for victory. If your game only takes 15 minutes, you are speed running it.
