Look, Barking Kittens is fine. It's not going to ruin game night, but it's also not going to become anyone's favorite expansion. The crown is funny for about three rounds, then it's just a cardboard hat you're obligated to wear.
The real issue is that Exploding Kittens already lives or dies on its chaotic randomness, and this expansion doubles down on luck rather than adding interesting decisions. If your kids are 7-9 and think wearing a cat crown is peak comedy, you'll get your money's worth. If they're older or you're hoping for strategic depth, skip this and grab a different expansion.
It's perfectly safe, reasonably wholesome, and will generate some laughs. But Reddit's right—it's the weakest expansion in the lineup. Not bad, just forgettable.
