Throw Throw Burrito

The world's first dodgeball card game. Collect cards. Play your hand. Throw things at your friends.

Throw Throw Burrito is what you get when you cross a card game with dodgeball. Try to collect matching sets of cards faster than your opponents while simultaneously ducking, dodging, and throwing squishy airborne burritos. The cards you collect earn points, but getting hit by flying burritos loses them. So clear some space and put away the antiques, because youâ&tradeve never played a card game quite like this before.

How it works: Place a pair of burritos on a table and draw cards. Keep your cards a secret. Rack up points by finding sets of three in the deck. Find matches before anyone else does. If someone plays Burrito Cards, a Battle ensues. Steal points from your opponents by hitting them with squishy toy burritos. Declare war on your friends. Some battles only involve a handful of players. Others force the entire table to engage in a Burrito War. Duel to determine the winner. During a Burrito Duel, two players must stand back to back, walk three paces, and FIRE.

Throw Throw Burrito, what you get if you combine dodgeball and a deck of cards... The aim of the game is to earn the most points, these you gain by completing as many sets of three throughout the game, each time you make a set, put them to the side and keep going, speed is of the essence. However, make a set of three battle cards and the burritos start flying (don't worry, they're soft and mess free). One set allows the player to choose two other players to duel each other, first hit gets a token which will count against them at the end. The other set means it is an all out brawl (only the person who made the set is safe), and you want to grab a burrito as quickly as possible and hit anyone before you are hit.

The kids really enjoy this game, maybe it is the fact that they get to throw something at their siblings or mum without getting in trouble... And the good thing is that if everyone misses, you just grab one and throw it again (just make sure the other person doesn't start hoarding them... The one downside that I find with this game, is you have 5 cards in your hand, you discard and pickup a new one, and keep going till you can put down a set, your discard pile becomes the player to your lefts pick-up pile. As you can imagine, this can lead to some irritation if you are faster at going through your cards, than the player to your right, as everyone is doing this simultaneously. You can pick up from the central pile, if there are no cards to your right, but even this has a finite number of cards available.

This is a fun game, always gets lots of laughs and the kids thoroughly enjoy it.
