It’s not hard to see why retro-hungry millennials sprung so hard for Exploding Kittens. But they can also strategically deflect the kittens onto opponents or “defuse” them with things like laser pointers and catnip sandwiches, use the power of a unicorn enchilada (to see the future, AKA three cards ahead), and tap select cards like the TacoCat to activate special powers.

The most-backed Kickstarter campaign in history began with a simple deck of cards.
