Throw Throw Burrito by Exploding Kittens – A Dodgeball Card Game – Family-Friendly Party Games – Card Games for Adults, Teens & Kids – 2-6 Players

Great fun, simple to learn, and the kids are in hysterics playing this

This is the game they bring when going over to friends and we have bought it for loads of friends and families

We played at New Year with some friends. My wife had read through the rules to n the afternoon, so she was able to direct us. Everyone enjoyed it – from 9yrs to 60. You do need to allow for some poor throws, so wine glasses, ornaments etc are vulnerable!

We generally loved it, although it did take a few rounds to get used to it. Very fast-paced and requires quick reflexes. Definitely worth watching the “how to” on YouTube. We played as a group of adults and children, it did seem like the kids were enjoying it (especially the burrito throwing part) but didn’t really get the card game side of it very well. My 8 year old wants to play again next time we’re together. So can’t comment on re-play-ability yet.

This game is absolutely bonkers — and a lot of fun. It’s beautifully presented — the game comes in a nicely made, rigid storage box that should last well. If I’m being really critical, it is a bit overpackaged, although most of the internal packaging (barring cellulose wrapping around two decks of cards) is made from paper or card. The avocados are really cute: with friendly, smiling faces and slightly bugging eyes. There are decent elements of realism too: the avocado halves are pretty much the right size for a real avocado, and one half has the stone in it, whilst the other has a hole. The two would fit together neatly, were it not for their eyes! The avocados are designed to be thrown at other players: they’re made from coated foam and are soft, squishy, and completely safe. Far less sting-y than ball pit play balls can be!

The game itself is total pandemonium, in which pretty much everything you know and expect from the structuring a board/card game gets thrown out the window. Dealing is haphazard, as is game play. The rule booklet encourages you to watch a video instead of reading the rules. There are no clear turns. The game is designed to create a mess of cards dumped in other players’ draw pots, instead of neat, structured piles. It’s fast, furious, hilarious and you get to repeatedly throw squishy toy avocados at people. Loved it!

There’s a clever bit of marketing involved, too. The game is a sequel to ‘Throw Throw Burrito’, and includes an add-on extension game that can only be played in conjunction with the burrito game. The manufacturers make this hard to ignore: there’s a paper envelope of cards that you’re instructed NOT to open as it contains an expansion that can only be used in combination with ‘Throw, throw burritio’. I’m contrary enough to have followed the instructions here, and have not opened the envelope. At time of writing, we do not own ‘Throw, throw burrito’ — and unless one of our friends owns a set we can borrow, I think it’s safe to say that by Christmas we will have invested in the original game, because I think this will be a lot of fun if a family Christmas is back on the cards in 2021.

Initially I was sceptical about this game thinking it was a tad over priced but I was wrong. We all love exploding kittens so decided that we should give this one a go. My son was delighted to receive it as a gift for his 14th birthday and couldn’t wait to get the whole gamily together to play it. The concept is similar to the card game ‘piggy’ but with additional hilarious rules. The Burrito’s are well made (soft thank goodness) and easy to grab and fling at your opponent without hurting them. Younger kids can play this game but would need adult supervision. A very VERY funny face paced game for all the family (there are 5 of us with ages ranging from 12 years – 50 years). Beware of serious face ache, not from being hit by a burrito but from laughing so hard. Definitely recommend this game.
