down, they are alerted that it is an Imploding Kitten and things work normally.\n\nStrategies? We got those.\n&#8211; Cat Cards will be flying around like currency, use your cards fast unless you need to stock them for something.\n&#8211; The risk of playing a Favor increases over time as it becomes more and more likely that someone has a Streaking Kitten.\n&#8211; Personal Attack can be useful even if you aren&#8217;t trying to attack another player, but it&#8217;s a risky play. Stock an Alter the Future NOW and a Nope if you are trying to do this. See\/Alter\/Share the Future, then Personal Attack and start playing. If anyone Alters the Future NOW or uses a Nope, counter with your own copy of those cards.\n&#8211; Curse of the Cat Butt is Curse of the Cat Butt, and Curse of the Cat Butt is chaos. If you suspect someone has an armed Streaking or Barking Kitten, use it on them and hope they play it.\n&#8211; Whenever an armed Imploding Kitten comes to the top, unless someone can remove it, it&#8217;s time to play the skipping game. The first person forced to draw a card (from the top) loses.
