Exploding Kittens Presents, Pickle Grab - A Speed Grabbing Card Game - 2-6 Players - 15 Minutes to Play - Family Game Night - a Fast Fun Kid Game - Party Game

Another strange, but insanely fun party game. Chaos and quick thinking continues to be the name of the game, but you have the benefit of not being clocked upside the head by a burrito this time. The card art will definitely throw you off if youre not paying close enough attention. Find the balance focus and reflex to grab that pickle!...or plate.

I remember playing games like War and Slapjack growing up. Pickle Grab combines the best parts of those games in a new and amusing format. The rules are simple enough that new players can pick it up immediately, and it incorporates a hilarious game mechanic in grabbing the pickle (or plate, depending on your cards ). It is more engaging than a lot of games like it without being dangerous to players or property. I love that it is easy to play for all ages (provided the younger players or the arm length-challenged are sitting close). I did have to turn the pickle around so it stopped staring at me. :)

The premise of the game is simple. If you turn up a pickle card, grab the pickle. Easier said than done! Like so many of EK's party games, the rules are easy to learn allowing you to jump right into the fun. Pickle Grab is kind of like a game of Slap Jack with the addition of a cute foam pickle and a defensive line. Trying to remember if you are making the offensive or defensive grab is the trickiest part of the game and caused the most hilarity. Fat paced, silly fun for all ages, this game is a great addition to any game collection.

When I first saw the game I laughed out loud because all I saw when I opened the box it came in, was a strange looking pickle staring up at me. I think the concept is definitely... interesting to say the least. I really enjoyed the little restaurant theme on the front of the jar with the checkers and I loved the plate aspect that came along with it. Once again the instructions were very simple and easy to understand which I appreciate. The first play through was a little chaotic because everyone was learning the game. I like how the pickle has a little weight so it falls right into its little jar and I also like the fact that there is a specific rule if the pickle accidentally falls on the table, or in my case the floor, and what to do when that happens. I was wondering, however, if some type of rule could be added for when/if the pickle thief takes the plate instead of the pickle and the person who is supposed to take the plate takes the pickle, but all at the same time. Does the pickle thief get the safe stack or does the other person? Or does the person who didn't get anything get the safe stack? The second play through went a lot more smoothly and I enjoyed the suspense as each card was being flipped over. Overall a great game that will defiantly grab attention.

First things first, the components are FANTASTIC! The pickle, the jar, the plate/mat, it all looks and works great. Rules are incredibly simple (you flip a pickle card, you grab the pickle; opponent flips a pickle card, you snatch the plate) and turns are taken with the flip of a card so it moves super fast. Overall, this is a cute, simple, and accessible dexterity game for everyone.

Pickle Grab is very easy to learn and play. The gist is, if you flip over a pickle card you have to grab the pickle before the others take the plate and the pickle falls in the jar. If you are fast enough you collect the cards, the more cards you have the better. That's it! The game provides simple fun and plenty of laughs and oh come-ons. It will bring out the competitive nature of everyone. My 9 year old daughter loves playing! Games last about 10 minutes. Overall, Pickle Grab is a fun game that can be brought to any game night.

A very quick game to understand and learn, great for family nights or a few friends. Played at a pair or trio the game is easily played and is fair for all three. With more players the pickle thief has a slight advantage if the other players both grab the plate at the same time and pull in opposite directions. Coordination and reflexes are the key!The gane construction is solid and the pickle is weighted well and feels great when you grab it.

The game is quick and easy to learn which made it a great game to start our night. The setup was easy but trying to straighten the card stock plate was hard since it was rolled into the jar. It wasn't affecting the gameplay too much but made it look weird and sagged a little on the edges after placing the pickle. The pickle is very good though. It has good weight for the plate. The game was fun to play. It did feel a little easier to grab the plate than the pickle but that could just be that my friends weren't as good. Haha. Either way, it was fun party game and a great game that started our game night.

We played Pickle Grab with 4 people of differing ages and, as almost always with Exploding Kittens games, we had a lot of fun!! Great design, the cutest pickle, solid concept, we had some laughs, minimal injury 😝However, we did have some issues with gameplay. The pickle thief has a huge advantage because it's much much harder to register the cards others are playing, even when focusing on quick flips and other's cards. Additionally 2 grabs ended up on the table, none ended up in the jar and all the rest were claimed by the pickle thief. All ties went to the pickle thief because the plate is very small. We only had one attempt of grabbing the pickle when a pickle card wasn't played.One person liked it but didn't think they'd play it again. Maybe we played too hesitantly and a faster tempo would make it more fun.Final note: MORE SQUEEZY AVATARS!!

Never got it.
