DISCARDING
KITTENS
THE UNOFFICIAL SIXT EXPANSION
OF EXPLODING KITTENS

With this expansion, slow gameplay will be a think of the past!


With the help from Redditors and exploding fans, this expansion totally
changes the games mechanic’s, while still staying true to the original rules.

HOW IT WORKS
Introducing the “Discard Draw Pile”, a brand-new deck with loads of
rule cards that alter the games discarding mechanics.

There is always a rule card in play. It might be something like;


Discard half of all your «Attack» cards OR Any cards you steal will be discarded.
You never know what the next rule will be, and how it will affect your play

Each rule card lasts two turns. After which the card is changed out with a
new card from the Discard Draw Pile.

The aims to speed up gameplay, while


discouraging card hoarding.

Exploding Kittens is equal to the number of players.

Exploding Kittens is one fewer then the number of players.

 2 Players = +2 Defuse 4 Players = +3 Defuse


3 Players = +2 Defuse 5 Players = +3 Defuse
and so on …

GAME RULES
Each rule card lasts two turns (if not otherwise written).
After which the card is changed out with a new card from the Discard Draw Pile.

One turn
One tuns has passed when; evry player (in no particular order) has drawn at least
one card from the Draw Pile.

Discard card types


- One-time cards can only affect you one time (sarcastic comment).
- Continuing cards affect you multiple times (if applicable). The card rule goes into
effect every time a new round starts, for as long as the rule card is in play.

Ignoring a discard rule card


- Nope: You can use a NOPE card to ignore the “Discard rule card’s” effect on you.
BUT: If you NOPE a card with an “Continues affect”, you must use a new NOPE card
for evry round the “Discard rule card” is in play (if applicable).
- Penalty play: You can also ignore any “Discard rule card”, IF you select two cards from your
hand, and put them (face down) on the table. These cards are now “Disabled” and cannot be
used until Discard rule card is changed out.
If the card has a “Continues affect” (if applicable) you must “Disable” two more cards for
every round you want to ignore the “Discard rule card”.

Discard exceptions
- Exploding Kittens cannot be discarded (only exploded), as well as special cards like
“Caffeine” and “Catnip” (see Coffee and Unruly expansions)

Troubleshooting
- If the Discard rules pile runs out, Shuffle the cards and start over.
- If you must discard a card, but you have no cards to discard. Either because you;
have no cards left OR because you have no cards that can be discarded.
You can safely ignore the “Discard rule card” (your probably doomed anyways).

If a” curse of the cat but” is played on you, you are not affected by the “discard cards” for as long as you
are blind. You have enough to deal with…
