About this converter
Exploding Kittens base box holds 56 cards across fourteen rows. Exploding Kitten and Tacocat and Beard Cat and Hairy Potato Cat and Rainbow-Ralphing Cat and Cattermelon and Attack and Skip and Favor and Shuffle open at 4, See the Future and Nope at 5, Defuse at 6 and Cat cards total at 20. That makes cat cards over a third of the box. Setup deals four cards plus one Defuse per player, then returns one fewer Kitten than players, so live deck counts shift off page.
How to use it
Pick two card types and a unit in the top row, for example Defuse and Nope. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first type, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total cards. Try 1 box of Cat cards against Defuses.
Two player games return one Kitten while five player games return four, so Kitten rows pin box counts only. Expansions like Streaking and Barking Kittens add cards off page. NSFW edition shares the same 56 structure off page. All set for game night.
