Exploding Kittens
A Friendly Little Rivalry
Something to do together when another round of polite questions starts feeling suspiciously like a second-stage job interview.
Why we like this gift.
A shared game gives you something to react to besides each other’s employment history. We like the prospect of discovering a slightly competitive streak over something gloriously unserious. The gift works best as an invitation to play, with room for a cheerful “another time.” Nobody should have to complete a rules briefing before being allowed to finish their drink.

The right kind of occasion.
A relaxed date with time, table space and someone who has expressed an interest in card games.
Make it a moment.
Suggest a game rather than immediately dealing everyone in. Learn the rules beforehand, and check that the edition suits your group and setting.

“Fancy finding out how graciously we both lose?”
Before you buy.
Check the edition, content, player count, typical playing time and whether it is a standalone game or an expansion.
