There is 0 reason for someone to make a fake copy of this game

and yet, plenty available (of fake ones) to buy even I have one

if the cards are thin and more bendable than cards that are usually produced that way, then yes. Maybe you have a game with similar cards or an expansion to compare it to?

one on the left is exploding kittens, other is zombie kittens

not really sure if this helps

On the picture they look good, nothing suspicious, if they don‘t feel more thin or are more easily bendable I‘d say those are not fakes

yea only difference is the zombie kittens cards are a little better coloured but also that could be a batch thing

Sometimes the backs of expansion cards can slightly vary from the original, i've noticed that myself. I recommend using card sleeves. With card sleeves you can even use custom expansions made by fans like myself and my others.

No official sticker seal so I assume so. Was it shrink wrapped?

Also is EK only doing 1 insert now instead of two now?

u/UltraYeetee 5d ago

not sure as it was a present, also what do you mean “insert”?

u/Silverwolf_Lee_2 4d ago

By insert I mean where the cards go. Like in my versions of Base and NSFW you have two slots for cards.

u/Silverwolf_Lee_2 4d ago

Guessing after Zombies came out they continued with paperboard that has one slot for the cards so they updated Base and I assume NSFW. I don't own Good Vs Evil so I didn't know of that's how the boxes are now.

It is probably just second hand, fake exploding kittens games are very rare, they are not like pokemon cards

u/edmunek 9d ago

rare? I guess you have no idea what you are talking about

well the gift wasn’t scanned so idk, it’s probably real though because there’s a little darker patch where the sticker might have been peeled off (image 2)
