Exploding Kittens Presents, Pickle Grab - A Speed Grabbing Card Game - 2-6 Players - 15 Minutes to Play - Family Game Night - a Fast Fun Kid Game - Party Game

I remember playing games like War and Slapjack growing up. Pickle Grab combines the best parts of those games in a new and amusing format. The rules are simple enough that new players can pick it up immediately, and it incorporates a hilarious game mechanic in grabbing the pickle (or plate, depending on your cards ). It is more engaging than a lot of games like it without being dangerous to players or property. I love that it is easy to play for all ages (provided the younger players or the arm length-challenged are sitting close). I did have to turn the pickle around so it stopped staring at me. :)

The premise of the game is simple. If you turn up a pickle card, grab the pickle. Easier said than done! Like so many of EK's party games, the rules are easy to learn allowing you to jump right into the fun. Pickle Grab is kind of like a game of Slap Jack with the addition of a cute foam pickle and a defensive line. Trying to remember if you are making the offensive or defensive grab is the trickiest part of the game and caused the most hilarity. Fat paced, silly fun for all ages, this game is a great addition to any game collection.
