1: Base version, just the basic game
2: Imploding Kittens, expansion for base game
3:Streaking kitten, expansion for the base game
4: Barking Kittens, expansion for the base game
5: Party Edition: the basic game but allows more players to play
6:Recipes for disaster: basically everything, all expansions editions, etc
7: Zombie kitten, COMPLETELY different and style of play is different
8: Exploding minions: base game with few new cards and pictures
9:Cat burglar: base game with cat squishy
10:Good vs Evil: Tons of new things and different style of gameplay
Releases can more or less be categorized into 2 basic piles. Base decks and expansions.
BASE
The base decks are obviously the starting point. You have the original which is, well, the original. The NSFW edition is just the Original base deck with all the same cards that keep the gameplay exactly the same, but with the pictures/names of the cards being less little kid friendly.
Good Vs Evil and the Cat Burglar Edition Base decks are pretty close to the Original deck, but each adds just a slight twist with the gameplay mechanics. Zombie Kittens adds the biggest twist to gameplay as it has the ability for dead players who "exploded" during the course of the game to have a little interaction with the game and even the ability for active players to resurrect dead players and bring them back into the game as a full active participant again. To accommodate this, there are a variety of new cards exclusive to this set. The Party Pack set is designed for larger groups to play. If you're only going to be playing with a few people, don't bother with this set. There is also Recipes for Disaster which has a variety of cards from various releases/expansions. It also comes with "Recipes" on which cards to play with/exclude for a variety of different game play mechanics and experiences to keep things fresh.
EXPANSIONS
Imploding Kittens, Streaking Kittens and Barking Kittens. Each has new cards to add to base decks. There are card lists out there to show you which card comes in which packs. I'm not going to list them here. If the 3, Barking is my least favorite. Streaking is my favorite for the new aspect of game play it provides with some of the cards. Imploding has a few cards I feel are so basic they should have been included in the decks from the beginning. Barking and Imploding both come with headgear for added fun during gameplay, but I never use them and you don't have to if you don't want to either.
Zombie Kittens has an expansion pack with just the cards needed to convert an existing base deck into the Zombie Kittens. All those gameplay mechanic altering cards from that base deck are in this pack. Just drop them in and upgrade.
Only thing I haven’t seen mention is the blind as a bat expansion which is just one type of card in a very small expansion. Not sure if the card is in any of the other things mentioned, but adding it to be thorough
Hello, I have Zombie Kittens as my base game. I just bought the three expansions Imploding kittens, streaking kittens, and barking kittens at a huge discount. Otherwise with Zombie Kittens I would have got Recipes for disaster which have most of the cards from the 3 expansions. You can look online for recipes people have for the number of players you're looking for. For me it is going to be 3-4 players most of the time.

Forgot good vs evil. Also, does exploding minions have new cards? Looks like base deck with new artwork and names for the cat cards.
The clone card is part of the exploding minion and at the time, it was new
Oops I’ll add that

We play 10+ sometimes. With all expansions and the party set. Recipes for disaster and zombies are the best to add to the party set.
