Furry box!
Short set of rules
Good for friends new to games

Too basic for some (1 more)
Quick games so not one for a whole evening
Settling that age old question of who would win
Ever wanted to created freakish monstrosities of bears to defeat an army of mutant babies then this games for you! A fun little game that you can pick up and play, it's quick to learn so fine to play with people who haven't played it before. If you like The Oatmeal comics you'll love the artwork very childish but funny and it comes in a furry box so what more could you want!

lovely art
fun game to start out

Games get tedious when you have played a couple of times.
I loved this game when it first came out, it really reminded me of munchkin. Unfortunately it shares the same flaw as munchkin, the games get very tedious when you know what you are doing, and the game is predictable from very close to the start. I would recommend this if you constantly are playing with new people, but if you play in a regular group give it a miss.
This game is... okay
You strategically build a monster to attack a baby army. The kids (ages 9 and 12) love it, but I found it pretty boring. Maybe getting the nsfw deck would make it more interesting for adults? It just didn't hold my interest.

Doesn't hold attention for long
Good but repetitive
It's a cute and fun game to play with friends. However, you can't really play it for too long or too often, or it will get very boring.

After the success of Exploding Kittens, we had high hopes for this game. It is the worst card game that we have played, and wouldn't even be worth $10, let alone $30.
The game could be so much more, if it didn't feature artwork that was inappropriate for children. It is the type of game that children could play for hours, but adults will be bored in the second game.

Monsters Eating Babies

Winner Is Usually Obvious Very Early
You Get To Build Monsters (And Eat Babies)
I Kickstartered this game when it was released despite not really loving Exploding Kittens beyond the art and the concept. The large draw was that I did not have any other game in my collection that I could pet and stroke when I was stressed and who doesn't like building monsters?
To be honest, this is a decent game with some strategy elements. The main issue is that the winner generally becomes evident early on in the game when they take a large number of points and wipe out everyone else's monsters and it become difficult for everyone else to catch up if the leader plays to obstruct.
The art is cute and sometimes rather disturbing, especially in the NSFW expansion (which should certainly not be used with kids at the table unless you want some deep and terrible conversations about schlongs). The monsters you make are funny and you can get a little attached to them. Sadly, that is a bad strategy as they can be wiped out in the Baby War at any point when someone provokes one of the baby armies and they kill everyone.
One of the biggest frustrations with this game is that sometimes you get to a point where you have nothing but legs and nothing else. All you want is a head or a cool body to attach all your legs to. You don't want to waste a turn diving in the discard for a head so you keep drawing more legs until you can hardly hold all your cards. At the end of the game you realize the Dave has all the heads and you hate him. Screw you, Dave!
Overall, its OK, You won't play it all the time, but it can be fun with a beer in the right crowd.
