Available exclusively for Netflix members. Bring the catnip. Draw as many cards as you can, and do your best to dodge — or defuse — fatal felines. Or else, boom goes the dynamite! In this multiplayer, kitty-powered game of chance, players draw cards — until someone draws an exploding kitten and blows up. Then that player is out unless they have a defuse card. Defuse cards allow players to neutralize furry foes with laser pointers, belly rubs, catnip sandwiches or other diversions. All of the other cards in the deck can be used strategically to move, mitigate or avoid. Featuring original art by The Oatmeal.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RISK at 4.7 against Exploding Kittens NETFLIX's 3.1. RISK also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (188K vs 220). Exploding Kittens NETFLIX's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RISK sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Exploding Kittens NETFLIX sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RISK holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RISK has 188K ratings behind it against 220, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of RISK's written reviews are positive against 21% of Exploding Kittens NETFLIX's.
RISK ships an update every 3 weeks, Exploding Kittens NETFLIX every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
