🏃🩲 Blaze through life without a care in the world with the Streaking Kittens Expansion! Why worry about that Exploding Kitten card you just drew when you have a Streaking Kitten card in your hand? Now, that fiery kitty is gonna be someone else’s problem…

With five new card flows and three new decks, Streaking Kittens brings more mayhem to your favourite cat-themed explosive card game!

[h3]New cards:[/h3]
Swap Top and Bottom – Sit down for this shocker: this card swaps the top and bottom card of the draw pile. Gasp!
Mark – With this card, you force a player to reveal a card in their hand…and keep it revealed!
Garbage Collection – Everyone chucks a card from their hand back into the draw pile. Give it a shuffle too, obviously.
Catomic Bomb – Send all the Exploding Kitten cards to the top of the draw pile, then end your turn.
Streaking Kitten – Protect yourself from an Exploding Kitten card! With this card in hand, you can hold onto an Exploding Kitten without, well, exploding. So you’ll want to keep it in your hand. If you lose it and still have that Exploding Kitten card in your hand…bad things happen. Immediately.

[h3]New decks: [/h3]
Streaking Kittens deck – This deck is all about stealing. Sounds great, till you remember what the Streaking Kittens card does…
Danger Mode deck – A deck filled to the brim with Exploding Kitten cards!
Attack of the Attacks deck – An unnecessarily aggressive deck that chains together Attacks.

Plus, with the new content sharing update, you can play it with your buddies even if they didn’t get it yet!

[h2]Content sharing is coming to Exploding Kittens 2!💥[/h2]
What does that mean, we hear you cry! Well, basically, it means that you can share your expansions with buddies who don't own them when you're the host, so you can all enjoy a game together with those brand-spanking-new cards.

We’ve put together this FAQ to clear up all your questions and help you get the most out of your shared chaos sessions.

[h3]How do I play Exploding Kittens® 2 with my friends?[/h3]
It’s easy to play Exploding Kittens® 2 with your friends!

1. Click “PLAY”.
   
2. Click “PLAY WITH FRIENDS” (make sure you’re signed into Bubble!).
   
3. Click “CREATE A GAME” to host a game.
   
4. Share the room code found on the top right of your screen with your friends. Alternatively, click “INVITE FRIEND” to invite a Bubble or Steam friend directly.
   
5. If you’re the one receiving a code, follow steps 1 and 2, then enter the room code into the “JOIN GAME” box.
   

Everyone needs to own a copy of the Exploding Kittens® 2 base game to play.

[h3]Can we play the expansions together?
[/h3]Yes, you can play any Exploding Kittens® 2 expansion in “PLAY WITH FRIENDS” mode.

[h3]What if one of us doesn’t own the expansion? Can they still join?
[/h3]Yes! So long as the person who owns the expansion hosts the game, they can share the expansion with their friends in “PLAY WITH FRIENDS” mode. All you need to do is make sure the expansion owner is the one who clicks “CREATE GAME”. This is called “content sharing”.

[h3]Which expansions does this work with?
[/h3]All of them!

[h3]Can I use content sharing online with random players/others or just with friends?
[/h3]You can only share your expansions via “PLAY WITH FRIENDS”. Anyone who enters your room code can share your expansions for that match. You cannot share content via “PLAY WITH OTHERS”.

[h3]Can I use this with cross-play?
[/h3]Yes, you can!
[h2]_____________
[/h2]

While we’re here, we thought we’d also answer some common questions about the expansions themselves:

[h3]What content is in the different expansions?
[/h3]Each expansion comes jam-packed with new content! As a general outline, this includes:

• New card designs
  
• New card abilities
  
• New decks

[h3]Can the expansions be mixed together?
[/h3]Exploding Kittens 2 features multiple decks that combine its expansions. For example, the Attack of the Attacks deck uses cards from Exploding Kittens 2 and Streaking Kittens.

[h3]💬 Got More Questions?[/h3]
We’ve covered the big stuff, but if anything’s still unclear, drop your questions in the comments and we'll do our best to keep the answers (and chaos) coming! 🐱

Greetings, Furballs!

First of all, we want to thank you all for taking the time to play Exploding Kittens® 2 and sharing your thoughts. You may have noticed that it’s been suspiciously quiet over at the Exploding Kittens Emporium the last few weeks. We’ve been sending out in-game updates full-throttle, patching and adding your most-requested features at such a pace that, frankly, we haven’t had time to sit down and have a nice catch-up with you all.

[h3]Fixing our fur[/h3]

If you’ve been playing Exploding Kittens 2 over the last few weeks, no doubt you’ve noticed a hefty number of improvements and fixes. We’re going to take a moment to brag about some of them here:

• The game now remembers your customisation settings.
  
• We sped up the animations and certain game moments. You have things to do, we get it.
  
• Made Nopes better by adding a Nope button, so now you can execute a speedy Nope. Nope, nope, nope…
  
• Added the ability to tap cards to play them, rather than dragging them. Team Tap or Team Drag…?
  
• Gave the scoring system an overhaul.
  
• Added action timers to online games. Again, YOU HAVE PLACES TO BE, RIGHT?
  
• Sent the AI to AI school to become even smarter. You’re in for a real challenge now!
  
• General bug fixes. We’re getting our flea treatments regularly, like good kitties.
  

We pride ourselves on creating top-quality games, and that means taking it on the chin when players tell us they feel something is missing. It also means doing something about it, and we’re sure you’ll agree that that’s exactly what we’ve done.

[h3]BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE[/h3]

We’re not stopping there either! The boffins in the Emporium have been cooking up a storm, and they’ve not only added a bunch of Quality of Life updates, but possibly the most fan-requested feature in Exploding Kittens history…

That’s right – CONTENT SHARING IS COMING, FOLKS!

Get ready to be the MVP of your squad. If you own any of the Exploding Kittens 2 expansions, you can now share them with your buddies in “PLAY WITH FRIENDS” mode. Even if they don’t own the same expansions, they can join you in your game. Sharing is caring, after all!

[h3]AND EVEN MORE! [/h3]

You thought we were done? You thought wrong, buddy.

Along with all of this, we’ve also nearly finished production of the next expansion – STREAKING KITTENS!

We’re adding the final polish, trimming its paw pads and brushing its coat. It’s almost ready to get zoomies and bound all over your screen!

Keep your eyes peeled, folks – we’ll have a release date announcement in the next 2 weeks!

So…who’s up for a round of Exploding Kittens 2?
Whether you’re a dedicated player, new to the game or maybe haven’t logged in for a little while, now’s the time to dive back into the chaos and tell us what YOU think of the recent changes, fixes, patches and updates!
