Exploding Kittens is entering the world of drinking games with When Sip Hits the Fan.
When Sip Hits the Fan sees a spinner dictate specific player actions, like taking sips or drawing challenge cards. For example, one card lets another player swipe through your camera roll, others introduce ongoing challenges like keeping a finger on your nose, with penalty sips any time the finger is removed.
Players keep one challenge card face up and in play at a time. The first to collect three cards loses.
When Sip Hits the Fan lands in Target and amazon from July 21st in the US, before arriving in the UK on August 2nd.
