Exploding Minions is an uproarious, family-friendly card game for 2–5 players aged 7+, developed by the creators of Exploding Kittens. With 72 brightly illustrated cards featuring everyone's favourite yellow mischief-makers, this quick‑playing game delivers laughter, chaos, and strategic take‑that fun in just 10–15 minutes.

Each player begins with one Defuse card to survive the dreaded Exploding Minion card—if you don’t defuse it in time, you explode and are eliminated. Throughout your turn, play action cards like Banana Ban, Hydrant, or Clone to avoid drawing that explosive card, manipulate the draw pile, or foil opponents’ plans. The last surviving player wins.

Thematically rich and easy to learn, this version features Minion-style humour and new mechanics such as the Clone card, which copies the effect of the top discard card—whether it's defense, sabotage, or a surprise boost. With whimsical art and lively gameplay, Exploding Minions is perfect for players who enjoy chaotic fun and quick reflexes.
