  6. Insert enough Exploding Kittens back into the deck so that the total number of Kittens is equal to the number of players - this is 1 more Exploding Kitten than normal because the Streaking Kitten Card allows a player to hold an Exploding Kitten in their hand without exploding!

    (Be sure to leave some space for a Discard Pile as well).

  10. Pick a player to go first and start playing as usual.

Faster Game Variant

Before inserting any Kittens into the deck, randomly remove about one third of the deck from the game (you will be playing with approximately two thirds of a deck, but you won't know which cards have been removed).

Then, shuffle the appropriate number of Exploding Kittens into the Draw Pile, and start the game.

Important: Play the Streaking Kittens expansion with the same number of Exploding Kittens as players!


Cards

How to play Streaking Kittens | Official Rules (10) Streaking Kitten (1 Card)

While this card is in your hand, you can also secretly hold 1 Exploding Kitten without exploding.

But

If the Streaking Kitten leaves your hand for any reason, the Exploding Kitten in your hand will explode.If another player steals or receives an Exploding Kitten from your hand, they explode. They must defuse it or lose the game.

If you take any action causing you to play an Exploding Kitten from your hand into the Discard Pile, you explode. You must defuse it or lose the game.

IMPORTANT - Streaking Kittens and Exploding Kittens cannot be used with the 5 Card Special Combo. This means you can't use either of them in your collection of 5 cards, nor can you remove either of them from the Discard Pile.

Why? Because it breaks the game. Don't break the game...the game loves you

Imploding Kittens

If you're playing with the Imploding Kittens expansion deck, the Streaking Kitten does not affect the Imploding Kitten.

How to play Streaking Kittens | Official Rules (18) Mark (3 Cards)

Pick a target player. Randomly pick 1 of their cards and 'mark' it by returning the card to their hand facing out to the other players. The card is still part of their hand (and they can look at it), but it must stay marked until it is played or stolen.

If a marked card is stolen, it doesn't stay marked.


How to play Streaking Kittens | Official Rules (19) Curse of the Cat Butt (2 Cards)

Pick a target player. That player must immediately make their cards blind by putting them face down on the table and shuffling them.

The blind player is not allowed to look at any of their cards until they successfully draw a card from the Draw Pile without exploding.

On their turn, if the blind player decides to play any cards, those cards must be picked randomly and played face up on the Discard Pile. If the card is playable, play as normal.

Blind Exploding Kitten

If you draw an Exploding Kitten (and don't have a Streaking Kitten), that does not count as successfully drawing a card. You must now play cards blindly until you play a Defuse.

All non-Defuse Cards played are lost without any effect. After successfully defusing the Exploding Kitten, you can return to non-blind play.

If you play an Exploding Kitten while blind, you explode immediately and must blindly defuse the Exploding Kitten or lose the game.

If you're the most unlucky person in the world and play an Exploding Kitten while trying to defuse an Exploding Kitten, you must defuse each of them before continuing.


Blind Favor

If you play a Favor Card while blind, you may look at the card you receive before turning it face down and shuffling it into your hand on the table.


Blind Mark

If an opponent marks you while you are blind (or if you become blind while holding a marked card), the marked card must remain facing the opposite direction from the rest of your hand until it is played or stolen.


Blind Three of a Kind

If an opponent plays the "Three of a Kind" special combo on you while you are blind, find the card requested (if you have it), give it to them, then put your cards back on the table blind and shuffle them.


Blind Garbage Collection

If Garbage Collection is played while you are blind, you must pick a card to contribute without looking at your cards.

After you have made your selection, you may secretly view the card (so that if you've accidentally given up a Streaking Kitten and you're left with an Exploding Kitten in your hand, you can try to defuse it).
