Are you a good wombat or a bad wombat? Find out by playing a few rounds of Exploding Kittens’ new game, Hand-to-Hand Wombat.
Recommended for kids ages 7 and up, the game is Exploding Kittens’ first social deduction game that debuted on Kickstarter back in February. Its 30-day campaign raised nearly $1 million from more than 18,000 backers. The game is now officially rolling into stores to bring teamwork, tower-building, and troublemaking wombats into family game night.
To play, each player will take on a secret identity as either a good or a bad wombat. All players will close their eyes as the good wombats build physical towers and the bad wombats attempt to secretly sabotage their construction. When time is up, players open their eyes and vote on who they suspect is a bad wombat. The good wombats earn points by completing towers, and the bad wombats earn points by preventing towers being built. The first team to reach three points wins.
Throughout the Kickstarter campaign, Exploding Kittens released a secret $1 tier in which backers could purchase special items, such as a custom-built tiny home, $500 worth of games, a curated display of dinosaur poop, a phone that looks like a cat, a vending machine, the world’s tiniest violin, a wombat car, and more.
Look for Hand-to-Hand Wombat for $25.99 at Target, Walmart, Amazon, and soon on explodingkittens.com.
