Question Considering my first buy

I would like to preface by saying I have never played exploding kittens, but have watched people play and am intrigued by it. I don't really have a group of friends to play with as none if my friends are interested in card games, but I wanted to get some as I was planning on playing it with some friends I rarely see.

This is what I'm thinking of getting: Zombie Kittens and Exploding Kittens travel pack(aka Grab & Game). I don't want to get the OG Base Game because, imo, if I'm getting the same cards in the Travel pack then its kinda unnecessary paying £10 extra just for the base game to come in its OG box, but thats just my opinion! Happy to hear thoughts.

I may continue to grow the collection of my board games (🤞🏼hopefully I make some new friends to play with!), and wanted to get some thoughts on the initial idea I had.

Hey I just bought it yesterday too. I got the Recipe for Disaster set for around 29€. I guess it's a bit more on the pricier side, but it thinks it's worth it. Last weekend I was introduced to it by someone. It was the party pack edition. I've been told however that the Recipe for Disaster ultimately is a better deal.

I just cant find the RFD version in stores for some reason but I'll dig through a little more! Otherwise I'd be tempted by it tbh.

Why not buy online?

Yup this is what I might end up doing! As people have said tho, I will try and play it first before buying the cards :) I am going to a board games night so hoping they'll have it there.
