Product Information

Following A Game of Cat and Mouth winning Game of the Year at the recent TOTY awards, Mantis promises another exciting dose of rainbows and colour to excite fans this spring. I appreciate them using symbols and colors together to avoid just using color as the primary way to distinguish cards.

Based on The Oatmeal’s viral comic, Mantis is an easy-to-learn, quick-to-play card game for both families and adults.Having been producing news, features, previews and opinion pieces for Dicebreaker for the past three years, Alex has had plenty of opportunity to indulge in her love of meaty strategy board games and gothic RPGS.

From the award-winning, best-selling creators of Exploding Kittens and Throw Throw Burrito, A Little Wordy is a fresh and ridiculously clever take on the genre of tile-based word-unscrambling games. I think Mantis shows that Exploding Kittens is trying to think about how to expand its audience, and that’s both good and interesting for gaming. With this foldable and lockable Feldherr deck holder, you can transport all the cards from the core game in a space-saving, secure, and guaranteed crease-free manner.

I’m going to assume it’s one of those Oatmeal things that I don’t really get since I don’t actively consume the comic content. The key to its strength, however, is the backs of the cards; by smartly limiting the pool of possible colors the card can be, player expectations can be set (and played with), leading to more player investment in the game itself.

Exploding Kittens became the first tabletop publisher to release an NFT, which was based on the studio’s re-release of the beloved party board game Happy Salmon. Scoring subtly isn’t a bad idea either, especially if a group of players are just stealing back and forth. In fact, we have started playing a variant where we play until the deck runs out just to see who can score and STEAL the most rainbows in total! p>Zombie Kittens is still the highly strategic, kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette that you love, but it introduces a brand new deck of cards so that your game doesn’t end just because you blow up. I mean, all you can do is Score or Steal, so if you’re not sure what to do … it needs to be one of those things.Play the all new Minions themed version of your favorite explosive card game featuring new card types and magical bananas. Scoring in Mantis is a great feeling – a real “Yesss” moment if you have built up a solid collection of a colour and your rainbow comes through for you.

In the game, each player begins with a hand of four cards that remain faceup for all the players to see.I mean, if you can pull off a major Score action, that’s cool and all, and that can win you the game in a single turn. Only living players can win the game, but dead players now get to keep the cards in their hands when they explode.
