Review: We loved it!! - 5-7 of us sometimes get together after our shift ends and play games that are usually NSFW. I had been looking for a new game for us to play and something more appropriate that I could play with my whole family on our 2 week vacation each year. After I read a lot of reviews on desertcart, I moved over to videos of game play as well as reviews on YouTube. 2 days ago I finally clicked the buy button on desertcart when I was alerted that the price had dropped. It arrived yesterday and we decided to play last night. Some people said the game was better with 2-3 people, but we all had such a blast playing with the max number 5. While we were playing everyone said I should buy the NSFW expansion pack to add more cards to the deck and make it dirtier like we usually do. Needless to say, when I got home, I immediately bought the 30 dirty card expansion pack. It arrived Friday. It is an easy game to learn but at the same time it’s hard b/c someone is ALWAYS messing up the rules and getting yelled at. We also decided to add a house rule like chess…. If u let go of a card while building a monster… it must stay on the table. No take backs. I was glad everyone loved this cut throat game of stick it to ur friends. I was really afraid they would hate it, but like I said 3 games in they were demanding the the expansion pack. 1 person even offered to buy it for me. I hope this was helpful. UPDATE: the expansion pack arrived today. it comes in a tiny packagage that looks like Pokemon cards would be inside. it includes 30 dirty cards and 1 condom. on the back of the condom it says, "USE BEARTH CONTROL F.U. BABIES." I laughed so loud when I saw it. the pack also includes 1 instruction card... which only states to shuffle the cards into the deck. its useless. I sifted through the cards and they r funny, but I didnt feel like they were as dirty as people made them out to be. I really didnt see what the big hype about them being sooooo dirty was. I cant wait to hear people read out their monsters abilities the next time we play. in my opinion, they new cards aren't any raunchier than my exploding kittens NSFW deck. I will have to remove them if we sit down with my 80 year old parents, but they r definitely not as offensive as the reviews I read here or watched on YouTube. Review: Super fun game from The Oatmeal team - This is an excellent game and I am proud to have been a backer—though I wish the furry box was just for us backers! :) ~Ages: I have an 'expanded version' an extra 10 or 15 cards that are NSFW (lots of penis, breast, and poop cartoons. The regular pack, imo, is completely suitable for all ages, though younger kids might have difficulty learning the game. If you or your child is sensitive to odd cartoons, I would recommend going through the pack to double check. The game will not be hurt by pulling a couple of cards out of play. We have also played by teaming up a young player with an adult. ~Number of players: the game says 2-5. With my expansion pack, I have also pushed the boundaries and played with 6. I think the game has been the most fun with 2 or 3 players. Over 3 and players don't have the opportunity to take as many 'actions' and there is less ability to strategize per 'turn'. ~Game play: The game is more complicated than Exploding Kittens. It takes a bit longer to explain and to learn. I recommend watching the how-to video. Once you understand, it is easy to teach others. Also once you get the instructions down, there is more strategy involved than kittens, which honestly has barely any strategy at all to have a good time. The game is played by creating Bears/monsters that fight other player's bears/monsters and fight Babies. Sometimes the babies beat the players. The game is won by the person who has defeated the most number of babies at the end. Strategy comes in as each player 'turn' is comprised of a certain number of 'actions' that let you build your monster/Bears or fight babies. With more players, each player has fewer actions. I plan to buy a second deck for game play of 5+ players. With an extra deck, I believe we could let players have extra actions. (Four or five player games, each player only gets 2 actions, which is very difficult to advance.) ## Features - fake fur covering box lid. - Imported - How to Play: Build outrageous monsters by combining parts, weapons, and hats to fight off an army of horrible babies. Players draw and play cards to create unique monster designs, strategically using their creations to outwit opponents and score points by defeating the baby army. - What’s Included: 107 cards with humorous illustrations by The Oatmeal, a cloth gameboard for easy setup, and an FAQ booklet to guide you through the game. - Who’s it For? Ideal for players who enjoy strategic, humorous games with a touch of absurdity. Perfect for friends, family, and anyone who loves a good laugh while building quirky, monstrous creations. - Where to Play: Great for game nights at home, parties, or casual get-togethers. The cloth gameboard and card components make it easy to set up and play anywhere with space for everyone. - Our Story: From the creators of Exploding Kittens and The Oatmeal comes Bears vs Babies—a game where creativity meets chaos. Known for their inventive and funny games, they bring you a monster-building experience that’s as hilarious as it is strategic. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B071GS97RT | | Best Sellers Rank | #59,335 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #1,107 in Dedicated Deck Card Games | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (8,066) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 14.1 ounces | | Item model number | BVB-CORE | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Exploding Kittens LLC | | Manufacturer recommended age | 10 years and up | | Product Dimensions | 6 x 5 x 3 inches | | Release date | August 20, 2017 | ## Images ![Exploding Kittens Bears vs. Babies 2-5 Players - Ages 10+ - 20 Minutes to Play - Monster Building Card Game - Party Game, Family Game Night, Kid and Adult Card Game - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/911Mmr0KEiL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are real bears and babies required for this game?** A: Hey there, thanks fur reaching out! While it might fun to play with real bears and babies, they are 100% not included or required to play this game! Actually, we strongly recommend not playing with real bears and babies because the babies would probably do some real damage to the bears, and we don't want to endanger them! Hope that helps! Bear hugs, Miya **Q: would adults enjoy this game of Bears and Babies?** A: I think this is less about adults v children enjoying, and more about the type of game you enjoy playing. This is from the makers of exploding kittens and the Oatmeal web comic... if that is your type of humor, then that is step one. If you don't like that humor, this game will probably turn you off at the start. It's an odd one. Secondly, while the humor is similar, this is NOT exploding kittens, which could be described as a twisted UNO-style game. This is a slower-paced game with more strategy, where you need to think through what cards to play at a given time and need to pay attention to what others are laying down. If you could align this to an old-school game, it would be Rummy (or even Phase 10), where you are trying for particular combinations. Unlike rummy however, here you can also undo other players' combinations with certain decisions, setting them back. Adding or removing certain rules (both as described in the instructions and house-designed after playing a bit) can enhance playtime with the right group. It is fun with people who like that style of game. I've played with kids as young as 9 and adults as old as 65. More adults liked it than the kids, it just depends on the game style you like I think. **Q: Would a very smart 7 year old enjoy this game?** A: Yes they would; it's fairly easy to pick up, and the strategies would be something a smart 7 year old could easily grasp. **Q: Does this game work well with only two people?** A: We've only played with 4, but it says it's good for 2 people. Not sure how much fun it will be with just 2. I'd recommend it to start before bringing it out with more though. You know, to work out the kinks! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We loved it!! *by L***S on August 12, 2021* 5-7 of us sometimes get together after our shift ends and play games that are usually NSFW.

Quality components. I love that the playing mat is fabric so it won't fall apart so easily. The game itself was simple to play and amusing. The illustrations are well done and amusing. (Some may not be for everyone, but that feels ok brand for this brand). The art is still well done and cohesive. The mechanics of the game left some room to adjust for house rules. We still need to play a few more times to love it, because while it's easy enough to play, it sucked that last minute someone was able to swoop in and take the big pile of babies and there wasn't any stopping it or beating it at that point. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bears vs Babies by Exploding Kittens - A Monster-Building- Family-Friendly Party Games - Card Games For Adults, Teens & Kids - Unstable Games - Unstable Unicorns Base Game - Competitive Award-Winning Card Game For Kids, Teens, Adults - 2-8 Players, Easy, Quick - Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/45591044-exploding-kittens-bears-vs-babies-2-5-players-ages-10](https://www.desertcart.at/products/45591044-exploding-kittens-bears-vs-babies-2-5-players-ages-10) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
