Exploding Kittens NETFLIX vs Briscola Heroes

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.

Briscola Heroes is the classic Italian card game with a twist: Aces, Threes and face cards are heroes of regional folklore — Pulcinella, the Befana, the Janara, Brigante Crocco — each with a unique power fueled by the Energy you earn by winning tricks. Every rule you know is still underneath: if you can play briscola, you're already home. • Online matches against real players (matchmaking looks for a human first; if none is available you play a clearly-labeled game character) • A guided 5-trick tutorial on first launch • 12 Italian piazzas, each bending the rules its own way, unlocked by leveling up • Card Polish: cards that win tricks for you earn Bronze and Silver frames • Full English and Italian interface (switch in Settings) Play instantly, no sign-up: an anonymous account is created automatically; optionally link Apple or Google to protect your progress. The free version shows one ad at most every three matches, never during play; the Mecenate purchase removes them forever and unlocks the whole Bottega. What we'd love you to test: online matchmaking (try it with a friend!), stability during matches, how clear the tutorial and the powers feel, and any text that looks wrong in either language.
