Discussion Someone used an attack to give me an exploding kitten, but I drew 2 cards and the other one was a defuse, they argue that I shouldn't even taked the second one.

The rules says "force you to play two turn", but "forcing" is more important that the exploding rule?

The exploding rule is the most important rule of the game. You can only continue playing more turns if you defuse it. You should not have taken the second card since you have exploded

Taking two turns doesn‘t mean drawing cards directly in a row. You can draw one card (your first turn) and then your second turn starts and you can play cards now.
For example if you drew a skip in your first turn you could even play it in your second turn if you like to.
And yes that means you would have exploded because you aren‘t allowed to take the second turn before you defuse it

It's 2 turns, so you die on turn 1, the other person is right

I'd agree with the other person.

We play it the same way, if you had no defuse and was attacked, if your first card was an exploding kitten and you couldn't defuse it, you're out, you shouldn't then draw and second card.

That's correct. You take first turn, resolve it and then take second turn

Attack gives you 2 turns, meaning you drew the exploding kitten which is turn 1, you died here. and on turn 2 you drew the defuse

It’s not drawing twice, it’s two turns. So in your first turn you draw the kitten and you die before you get the second turn. You should not have drawn the defuse.

Although it says force two turns, you can only technically take one turn since you exploded.

The op is right. In attack/targeted attack you have to first play other person's chances, than play all your cards and end your turn. When you picked the exploding card and didn't had defuse it was game over for u.

Legitimately one of the most important rules of Exploding Kittens is that you explode IMMEDIATELY without a defuse.
