Which article are you evaluating?
Exploding Kittens

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I was originally going to choose the Unstable Unicorns (card game) article only to find that it is only at a redirect stage. I have a background in card and board games and have personally seen how it brings people together. Exploding Kittens is a card game found found on retail store shelves, a sign of its popularity. However, the article seems to still be in development and I would like to see it improved. Additionally, It is classified as a C-rank quality under the guidelines of WikiProject Board and table games. This means that it has substantial information, but is still missing important content, citations, and cleanup.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead Section

The lead section felt a bit hard to read with the high amount of exact numbers in close proximity to each other, specifically the amount of Kickstarter backers and money raised. Some of the information is even repeated under Development.

Content

Under Gameplay, it does not explain how the game ends, which is vital information for any board and card game article. Also, at least one new expansion is not in the article.

Tone & Balance

The tone is relativity balanced and informative. There was a sentence that did not fit this:

"The fourth expansion pack is an "NSFW Deck". It is notable because it tends to be explicit in some places, such as a Defuse card titled "Defuse with nature documentaries", which shows a cat watching two tigers mate. There are 15 new cards."

This sentence includes the words "notable" and "tends" which are opinion-based words. It continues to use an example that can be seen as an opinion as well.

Sources & References

At least 2 spots have "citations needed" and some sources are related directly to the company rather than an outside source. Sources may also be out-of-date if a Kickstarter campaign has become more successful than Exploding Kittens.

Organization & Writing Quality

Writing quality is rough in certain sections especially with a high amount of dates and numbers being put in close proximity.

Images & Media

The images are okay but aren't high quality in terms of dpi and lighting. I would prefer the main picture for the article to show the box art rather than the insides. The second picture is alright considering its relevance to the content.

Talk Page

The talk page is short but easily explains commonly asked questions that had been put forth on the article.

Overall

I understand the flaws in this article and what it needs to be improved upon. It did not have much of a tone problem; however, it needs a source and content update as well as a grammar overhaul.
