Exploding Kittens: Newbie Edition

A compact two-player card game built from a subset of the original deck. Players draw and play cards from a shared deck, using special action cards to manipulate turns, avoid hazards, and force the opponent into risky draws. Each round revolves around hand management and timing: play cards to skip draws, peek at the deck, or defuse dangerous cards. The deck is shorter than the standard set and the rulebook focuses on streamlined two-player interactions.
