If you play a pair of cards, you can steal a card at random from a player of your choice. These cards can be collected and then played as a pair, three-of-a-kind, or five-of-a-kind. Some cards don’t have instructions on them. Make sure to read the instructions on the cards in your hand carefully - certain cards allow you to play out of turn or to skip your turn. For example, if you play a See the Future card, you can look at the top 3 cards on the draw pile. When you play a card, place it face-up next to the draw pile, and follow the instructions on the card. On your turn, you can play one or more cards from your hand if you’d like. Deal 4 cards to each player, and place the rest of the cards face-down in the middle of the table. Shuffle the remaining Defuse cards and the Exploding Kitten cards back into the deck so there’s one less Exploding Kitten card than there are players.

To start the game, remove all of the Exploding Kitten and Defuse cards from the deck. Whoever is the last player left in the game wins.

If a player draws an Exploding Kitten card, they’re out, unless they have a Defuse card that they can play to save themselves. The goal of the game is to avoid drawing an Exploding Kitten card from the deck.
