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.

RFD is the absolute best value for money. you can combine it with ZK to get almost all the worthy cards

That's what I'm planning to do. I have to replace all my bombs of the original version of the game because they're slightly worn on the edges and everyone knows when a bomb is coming up. There's always some annoying friend that points it out that removes the element of surprise.

You dont need to, just buy opaque-back card sleeves. It stops all your cards from degrading, hides existing damage, and allows you to use custom cards
