Exploding Kittens Presents Exploding Pigeon - A Fast, Funny Family Party Game Suitable for Ages 7+

We'll see how the boys like it once Christmas is here and they open the present!!

Played this game with our large family. Had a great time! Love the team concept! The only annoying part was the incessant cooing of the pigeon (which I'm sure was intentional). It was difficult to hear when the pigeon ‘exploded' due to the shouting and cheering that was going on with each shift that the pigeon made. This was a super easy game to teach, which made it easy to bring out as a random option. Will definitely be adding this game to the new favorites for game nights!

This game is an excellent party game with a mechanic like hot potato, but more fun.The team with the pigeon timer gives it a shake and must complete an action before handing it over to the other team while the it noisily ticks away. Actions can include drawing, word clues, and charades. It's up to a roll of the die and your team's quick thinking to pass that pigeon to the other team and hopefully that's where it stays!We found the game to be frantically fun. Rounds are short, and we played multiple games because we didn't want it to end. There is a version for 3 players that is also fun.We will definitely be pulling this out for game nights in the near future.Exploding Kittens gave me an early copy of the game in exchange for an honest review.

Mix of charades, pictionary, and hot potato. The unknown time of each rounds timer makes things super anxious, but fast paced and exciting. My 4 star is because the packaging is wanting. It does not feel like it will hold up over time and when the plastic breaks the box has openings, so I fear loss of pieces.

Exploding Pigeon is a fun game that is very easy to play. It takes about five minutes to read the rules and 2 minutes to play a round. Its like playing other classic games (Charades, Guess what I am Drawing , and Rock-Paper-Scissors) but with the speed of Hot-potato. Exploding Pigeons is Guaranteed to bring the laughs and will be a frequently grabbed game night game!

My family really enjoyed the game. We laughed a lot while playing. The kids keep asking to play the game. The pigeon is a fun component to the game. The only piece of feedback is there shouldn't be a roll again. Also sometimes out of excitement the pigeon would get slammed too hard and the timer stopped. That's ok though. Will be a part of our family game night rotation.

Exploding Pigeon is a great way to add some modern touches to the classic game of “hot potato”. The game is fun and intuitive, allowing for some creativity and teamwork, all while keeping the time pressure as a constant background thought. EK did a great job of improving a party game that now has an opportunity to shine and offer something new compared to all of the “card-playing-centered” games that most parties will use these days, so this is a nice refreshing option.

Exploding Pigeons is a fun family game that will test your drawing, acting, and rock/paper/scissors skills - all while trying to beat the coo-ing pigeon before it makes the exploding noise. It is a fun and fast-paced game with good and amusing variety - can you get your team to guess the word "blindfold" by drawing it on the belly of the pigeon?? Adult players may quickly find the pigeon timer annoying, however - probably better as a game with kids.

EK has produced another game with their twist on a classic. In this game, players have to get their team to guess a word either by normal Pictionary, Charades, or Taboo methods. Once a correct guess is made, the Exploding Pigeon is passed as a random amount of time ticks down. We liked this variable because teams never knew when to expect the end. There are several other outcomes that the shake of the die can produce to help the game from getting stale. One thinh we noticed after playing several times is that the stock stack of cards is somewhat small. Hopefully, in the future, more are added or there is a spot to grab words from the EK site. Really, any stanard word repository would work.Overall, a fun time, just wish there was a deeper deck to draw from so that the good times don't dry up too quickly.

It's a Christmas present.
