Mantis – Steal or Score? 🦗🃏 The back of every card shows three possible colours – which one is on the front? Mantis from Exploding Kittens, designed by Ken Gruhl and Jeremy Posner with art by Matthew Inman, is a colourful, cutthroat card game for 2 to 6 players aged 7 and up. Everyone starts with four cards face up in their Tank. On your turn, choose Score or Steal, then flip the top card of the deck. Score: if it matches a colour in your Tank, move all matching cards to your Score Pile. Steal: if it matches a colour in another player's Tank, take those cards into your own Tank. The first player with 10 cards in their Score Pile wins. 🎨 Read the Backs Three colours on every card back – a clue, not a promise. 🏆 Score Match your own Tank to bank cards. 🦗 Steal Match someone else's Tank and take their cards. 👥 Two-Player Rule Play to 15 cards, with extra turns after a successful steal.
