Exploding Minions Heads Into Stores This Week

A new card game from the minds at Exploding Kittens is making its way into stores this week. In Exploding Minions, players will try to be the last person standing by not drawing …you guessed it! …an exploding minion card. The game is for two to five players, ages 7+, plays in around 15 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $19.99.

About the game:

Introducing: Exploding Minions! Play the all new Minions themed version of your favorite explosive card game featuring new card types and magical bananas.

Exploding Minions is a Minions-powered version of Russian Roulette. Players take turns drawing cards until someone draws an Exploding Minion and loses the game. The deck is made up of cards that let you avoid exploding by peeking at cards before you draw, forcing your opponent to draw multiple cards, or shuffling the deck.

The game gets more and more intense with each card you draw because fewer cards left in the deck means a greater chance of drawing the Exploding Minion.

The Minions bring a new game-changing card with them that allows players to Clone cards.
