Inspired by the successful Minions animated franchise, the themed edition of the award-winning Exploding Kittens card game with new illustrations by The Oatmeal is fun for both kids and adults.

“We’re excited to combine one of the biggest card games with Illumination’s global pop-culture phenomenon, the Minions, to create a new family game night essential,” said Elan Lee, co-creator and CEO of Exploding Kittens. “Exploding Minions marries these two universes to create a simple yet strategic game for all to enjoy.”

Best for players ages 7+, the family-friendly version of the original “Russian Roulette-style” card game requires participants to take turns drawing cards while trying to evade the Exploding Minions.

Players can avoid exploding by using favorite cards like “Defuse,” “Nope,” and “See the Future,” as well as the brand new “Clone Card.” The last player to survive without exploding wins.
