Mantis – An Exploding Kittens Game with no Kittens In Sight! A first look at this light card game.

You'll likely have encountered an Exploding Kittens game along your travels, not least with it being one of the largest Kickstarters of the time, but also with it being in a ton of every day stores, and so easy to find and pick up. Full of quirky humour and fun artwork, they've branched away from just the Kitten market over recent years, and now we have Mantis – a colourfully cutthroat card game of rainbows and revenge (try saying that five times fast!).

The game is about stealing or scoring, which you'll aim to do with matching cards. We take a look here at some of the cards, offer some first impressions, and then ask you to give us your thoughts!

Now for the fun extra bits!
