How to play Exploding Kittens

Players draw from a shared deck while using cards from their hands to disrupt opponents, avoid danger, and improve their odds of surviving. It is a quick, silly take-that card game with eliminations and push-your-luck tension, best for 2 to 5 players who want a light 15-minute game rather than a strategic contest.
