This strategy is for the defensive player who doesn’t want to risk drawing the Exploding Kitten card at all. The more favor cards you draw that match those in your hands, the more you can keep stealing from the other players. You can do this using the favor cards you have stockpiled or by using your pairs and triples to draw from your opponent’s hands continuously. The fewer cards they have, the smaller the chance that they can fend off your attacks when you go on the offense - and the less likely they are to fend off an Exploding Kitten card. If you do this, you do not have to take the chance of drawing the Exploding Kitten, and you decrease the defenses of the other players AT THE SAME TIME! How’s that for strategy? However, my dad still thought a Nope can be used since I hadn’t yet changed the order of the cards.Try to get as many cards out of the hands of others and into your own as possible. The instructions of an “ Alter the future” card starts by saying “ privately view.” Since I had looked at the three cards, I have already permanently changed the game, and there’s no way for me to undo that, despite me not fully completing the instructions of the card. I assumed it means that once a player has begun an instruction of the card, a Nope is no longer allowed. You can play a Nope card at any time before an action has begun, even if it’s not your turn. You can also play a Nope on another Nope to negate it and create a Yup, and so on. Imagine that any card (or Pair or Special Combo) beneath a Nope card no longer exists. “Stop any action except for an Exploding Kitten or a Defuse card.

Here is everything the original pack’s rule sheet says about the Nope Card: However, my dad’s interpretation of the rules was that a Nope can be used up until the point the card actions have finished executing. It was my understanding that a Nope cannot be used after you have started doing what the card’s instructions state. Am I prevented from changing the order of 3 cards despite me being able to view them, or is the Nope card no longer to be used? We weren’t sure if the rules still allowed the Nope to be used. Then, after I see the top 3 cards, my dad uses a Nope card.

I grab the deck in my hand and I peak at the top 3 cards. It’s my turn, and I play an “Alter the Future” Card. We ran into a confusing scenario while playing that left us stuck and we would love an explanation!

Hey everybody! I have a specific question on how the Nope card is allowed to be used.
