Today's SideDealPick-Your-2-Pack: Exploding Kittens Games
Our Take
- Choose two games for $12
- That’s $6 per game
- The per-card price is crazy low
- Can they make a margarita: No, but one of these games, a few friends, and a pitcher of margaritas sounds like a great night to us!
Still Game?
One time when we sold these previously, @zippyus said:
love this meh. more quirky and accessible card games for kids and adults please!
Now, @zippyus made a very simple mistake here. They failed to specify what they meant by us selling ‘more quirky and accessible card games.’ Like, did they want an even wider variety of different quirky and accessible card games? Or just a greater number of sales featuring quirky and accessible card games, even if said quirky and accessible card games are the same quirky and accessible card games we’ve offered previously?
At any rate, those who visit regularly know which path we decided to take.
But, to be fair, unlike certain things we offer again and again and again and again, people seem to actually enjoy these.
Here are some of the reviews from the comments across several sales.
From @jchasma:
Bought one set last time- Danger danger was actually every fun for adults! Similar to “Set.” My kiddo loved throwing the avocado.
From @limefiasco:
Most of the games in the bundle are quick to pickup and easy for a range of ages. Definitely a solid bundle price for family get togethers a few times a year.
From @pakopako:
Buy this people. I just played Danger Danger with a bunch of 40-somethings (and a 50-something) and we all failed spectacularly. But it was fun. And we wanted to do it again.
From @mikesmells:
These games are really fun and very silly. Always a hit with my friends and I.
We especially like this last one because it shows how amazing the games are; they’ve allowed even someone as smelly as Mike to have friends!
Over on Reddit, the reception was a little less positive, with user ‘chopchopfruit’ saying:
Exploding kittens is fun until you played it 10+ times
But this seems particularly silly today, because the games come out to $6 each. I mean, wouldn’t anyone pay $6 for 10 fun nights with their gaming buddies?
At any rate, some of the games are represented more in these reviews than others. So if you have takes on, say, Hand to Hand Wombat or Barking Kittens, definitely share in the comments. So that ~I can repackage them as a future write-up and basically get a day off~ other customers can make an informed purchasing decision!
