Quick and easy, great for families; see NOTE for box lid opening hack

Taco vs Burrito plays a lot like Uno, but with funnier cards. Much like Uno, you can sabotage your opponents, or be nice; whatever suits your playstyle. You can totally play with only 2 players, but more people means more opportunities for mischief and mayhem! Pros: - easy to learn how to play (each Action card tells you how to use it) - setup and teardown are super simple (no dice or color-coded gamepieces to lose and step on later) - gameplay is quick and easy (10 min/game; no Monopoly marathons here!) - amusing food ingredients (creative/gross foods will give you a chuckle) - once you master the basic game, there are many variations that keep the game interesting - my 7-year-old does enjoy this game a lot, and I don't mind playing 1-on-1 (it's more strategic and exciting with more people) Cons: - the game box is ridiculously hard to open, for some reason. See NOTE below for a quick hack fix. - I feel like there should be more ingredient cards. Perhaps that is what is in the expansion pack? - you choose to build either a taco or a burrito, but the choice does not affect gameplay *at all*. I feel like it should, though. If I think up a game variation that does, I'll post it here on a later edit. - considering you're basically just getting a pack of funny cards, I feel that $20 is a little expensive. I would have been fine with paying $15 or so. Bottom line: This game is easy to learn and fun to play. It's great for when you want to play one or a few quick games with family or friends. It would make a good gift, especially if you can get it on sale. NOTE: The game box lid creates a vacuum or something that makes the box really hard to open. So what I did was take a square of clean aluminum foil (about 1 foot x 1 foot) and fold it over itself several times to make a strong strip roughly 1 foot long and 2 inches wide. Then place the strip horizontally *underneath the plastic tray* in the box (please see the attached photo). Tuck the leftover ends under the box bottom to hide the aluminum strip when the box is closed and in storage. When you want to open the box, just untuck the ends, balance the box on your leg (or have the other person hold it), and pull *downwards* on both of the ends of the aluminum strip *equally*. This downward motion will push the plastic tray upwards, and the lid will magically float up and pop off. You don't need to use a lot of force! Alternatively, you could just open the box normally, as the aluminum strip breaks the vacuum seal and makes it much easier, but where's the fun in that? :) If you found this review to be helpful, please click on the 'Helpful' button below so more people like you can find it.

I laughed myself into an asthma attack!

Ok, this game is legitimately hilarious, and devious enough to bring out people's competitive nature! It says a round is roughly 15 minutes, but we kept reshuffling the trash pile, so the round wound up being closer to 45. It's SUPER easy to play -- you literally deal the cards and start playing because instructions are written on the cards themselves. We had a few scenarios where we had to adapt as the game went on, namely with the "Food Fight" action card. The deck has so many action cards that it was hard to draw ingredient cards for the Food Fight, so we decided that action cards are just Null rather than to keep drawing until you hit an ingredient. Simple adjustment. The game itself is perfect for family night since it's easy to play and the gross ingredients appeal to a kid's sense of humor. But my friends and I are all mid-30s and we still had a blast! After the third time getting "Health Inspector," one friend started cursing. Our other friend, who is a notorious trash-talker when she plays spades, called me a "heifer" when I smacked her, once again, with Tummy Ache. Did I mention this was a faith-based group for graduate students? LOL I've already bought the expansion pack and we're looking forward to playing again at our next monthly potluck. I might filter out a few of the action cards to help balance the deck with the Food Fight issue, but that's my only potential "negative" from the entire game.

Seriously a game for kid to adults.

Absolutely love Taco vs burrito. I️ bought it as a kickstarter. I️ originally bought this game because my husband and I️ love to play games with friends but most of them are not targeted to children so I️ got this to add to our collection so we had options when our friends with kids came. I’m not gonna lie I️ did No have high expectations for this to be a game for adult but I️ was Sooooo wrong!!!!!! We have now played with several different groups of friends and it’s a hit!!!!! With adults it becomes a major strategy game. I️ have Now bought it as a Christmas present bc it was so well received!!!!

This is a lot more fun than you think it'll be!

Unlike several of the reviewers here, I didn't purchase this originally for when kids are around. I bought it because of the reviews that said the adults all loved it too! I'm always on the lookout for games playable by 2 people and this was a great one. It's incredibly simple, but brings a lot of laughs with the competition and sabotage. I'm really glad I gave this game a chance.

Fun for game night, especially adults!

**just got the expansion pack** Buy the expansion pack you won’t be disappointed!!!!!!! we are a group of adults who love board games, card games, murder mystery, we’ll basically fun game nights. This game I bought and we played and it’s so much fun! We’re all late 20’a to early 30’s and we played non stop. So the no bueno, what we did was when it would be played against another’s player anyone could play another no bueno to block the no bueno hence saving the one player but really we would just team up against one player until the very end then things got serious. Lol. Loads of fun I recommend it.

As much fun for adults as kids!

My granddaughters aged 5 and 8 love this game! The best thing about it is the adults have as much fun as the kids. The "No Bueno" cards are similar to the "Nope" cards in Exploding Kittens but the other action cards are original and perhaps even more fun. It is super-quick to learn and kids don't really have to read to play; it only takes them one round to know what all the cards do. My 5 year old beat the pants off us and we were hysterical with all the twists and turns. My only complaint is that I wish more could play, especially as $19.95 is a lot for a card game. When you have a game all ages can play, you need 6-8 people to be able to join in. We'll simply buy a second. Hopefully it goes on lightening deal again soon.

GREAT GAME

HIKARIOUS GAME. Laughing at this sensitive Sally’s saying the cards like eyeball and blood sauce are gross and inappropriate for kids. My nephew talks about blood and gore all the time and he’s 10. Perfectly appropriate for kids ESPECIALLY BOYS. You can tell a boy made this game.

Great Addition to a Classroom!

I purchased Taco Vs. Burrito for my middle school classroom. Even the most difficult to engage, eye-rolling 13 year old loves it! I can group 4 students who do not get along for a game of Taco Vs. Burrito and they will be giggling together within minutes. Competitive enough to hold their attention yet simple enough to not require adult intervention, Taco Vs. Burrito is highly recommended by this teacher for the classroom!

Cute Game

I previously didn’t rate this game very high, but after playing some more, I really enjoy it and so does my daughter! This is a fun game that helps with being strategic while it being fun because of the gross foods on the cards and actions that can be used. Your kid will love it and so will you. Games go by fast which is always a plus.

Fun for all ages

In this house we have a 10 year old, 26 year old, and two 50 year old members. We all enjoy this game. It reminds me a little of UNO, but the object before you go out of cards is to fill your taco/burrito with point cards. We had to watch a youtube video on how to play, because the written instructions were slightly confusing on how the game ended. The first time we played we turned over the discard pile and kept going, but as far as we can tell that is incorrect. Once the draw pile is gone, the play continues until someone is out of cards from their hand. Most points collected wins. Lots of fun with cards that let you rob from other players, the discard pile, and change hands at the last minute with someone who was winning. Hope this helps.
