Play continues clockwise around the table. Once they have played a card, they will pick a card from the draw pile. If the card played has instructions, the player will complete the action.
The game begins with the first player looking at their hand and playing a card by placing it face up in the center of the table. Alternatively, choose with whatever criteria you decide to switch it up each round! For games with two players, place only 2 Defuse cards back in the deck.
Remove any extra Exploding Kitten cards from play. For example, for a game with 5 players, there will be 4 Exploding Kitten cards within the deck. The amount of Exploding Kitten cards used is determined by counting the number of players and subtracting one. Everyone should have 5 cards in their hand.
