Why it works
It works like Russian roulette with cats: you draw a card and, if it is the kitten that explodes, you are out unless you have something to defuse it with. The other cards let you skip your turn, peek at the deck or annoy the player next to you. From the age of eight, they find the absurd humour very funny.
Our verdict
For the ten or eleven-year-old who is asking for 'grown-up' games. With seven-year-olds who get cross at being knocked out, Dobble is the better choice.
They will like it if
- they enjoy absurd humour
- they have outgrown UNO
- they play with friends their own age
Bear in mind
- whoever explodes is out and has to sit and watch
- more sensitive children do not take kindly to having cards stolen
What's in the box
- Elimination card game: the last player left wins
- 2 to 5 players
- Recommended age: 7 and up
