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 call

The clearest difference is rating: Bag Fight at 4.5 against Exploding Kittens NETFLIX's 3.1. Bag Fight also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (14K vs 220). Exploding Kittens NETFLIX's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bag Fight holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bag Fight has 14K ratings behind it against 220, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Exploding Kittens NETFLIX's written reviews are positive against 19% of Bag Fight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Exploding Kittens NETFLIX ships an update every 6 months, Bag Fight fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
