Will they stay your friends after a few rounds, though?If you need help blowing your enemies to ashes, there are new cards. These cards deploy a thousand years of back hair, the catterwocky, or the rainbow ralphing cat. The only way to defend yourself is the sassy ‘nope’ card.You can’t stop the new Imploding Kitten card, but the Streaking Kitten lets you hold onto it without blowing up. And if you like taking risks, the Barking Kittens expansion will add a whole new dynamic.The new version of the classic card game is sure to have some surprises stocked up.
