Product description
How to play: Set up like any set-collection card game, but keep an eye on the burritos. Deal cards to each player, draw and discard while racing to collect three-of-a-kind sets to score points. Certain cards trigger a Burrito Battle; when that happens, players grab the foam burritos and fling them at opponents according to the card’s instructions. Hits cost points, sets earn them, and matches of War cards escalate into one-on-one or full-table confrontations. The mix of quick hand management and sudden physical action is the game's signature.
What’s included: The box contains 120 vividly illustrated game cards, two soft foam burritos, six Burrito Bruise tokens for tracking penalties, one Fear Me badge, and a concise instruction booklet. The cards are vibrant and the artwork mirrors the irreverent tone of the line; the manual covers setup, card types, battle rules, and a few optional rule variations to keep play fresh.
Materials and players: The burritos are made of soft, squishy foam designed to be gentle on skin and surfaces, and the cards are standard card-stock with bright printing. The game supports 2–6 players and is recommended for ages 7 and up, making it suitable for children, teens, and adults. Rounds are brisk, so multiple games can be played in a single session.
Where to play: Clear a table with room around it so players can safely stand up and dodge. Ideal settings include family game nights, casual parties, camping trips, or backyard gatherings. Because the gameplay includes throwing soft projectiles, fragile items should be moved out of the play area.
Design background: From the creators behind the Exploding Kittens line and illustrated by The Oatmeal, this title pairs mischievous humor with slapstick physicality. It launched via crowdfunding and quickly found an audience thanks to its unusual mash-up of card mechanics and playful, active confrontation.
Gameplay notes: Matches are fast and full of momentum — expect laughter, frantic grabbing, and brief skirmishes. The rules are straightforward enough that nonreaders can join after a demo, and the included badge and tokens add a fun layer of bragging rights and penalties. The foam burritos are replaceable accessories if you play often and wear them out.

Great gift, kid loved the burritos but needed help with cards
I bought this for my 7-year-old niece and she adored the squishy burritos—one now lives on her desk. She enjoyed the throwing and the chaos, but the fast card play was hard for her to manage alone. I teamed up to handle the card work, and after a few rounds she began drawing and discarding with me guiding her. She got especially excited whenever a War was coming.

Kid-approved and simple to play
Gifted this to an eight-year-old who hasn’t stopped laughing. Rules are easy, and he enjoys tossing the burritos at Mom and Dad. Highly recommended for game nights with kids.

Very dynamic and entertaining
Super lively and not for clumsy players. It reminds me of classic party games but with a fun twist. Kids have a blast and the extra activity makes it more engaging.

Endlessly entertaining with friends
This game is a riot with pals. Watching people dodge like it’s serious business is hilarious. The burritos are soft so misses don’t hurt and nothing in the room was damaged. The box is compact to carry and the cards are clear and funny. Tons of replay value.

Perfect white elephant pick — everyone laughed
Bought as a gag gift and it became a favorite. Setup is quick, the concept is silly but accessible, and the foam burritos are safe. Colorful artwork adds to the lighthearted vibe; great for family gatherings and parties.

Lovely game — we tweaked rules for extra fun
We adapted some rules to make play more varied: small penalties for being hit, custom challenges, and alternative scoring. Five cards each, draw and replace, special sets score differently and trigger burrito duels. Lots of room for house rules and creativity.

Surprisingly delightful — purrfect for playful groups
I was hesitant because of their earlier games, but this mix of quick card sets and dodge-action won me over. It’s silly and energetic: collect matches to score, but be ready to duck squishy burritos. The rules are straightforward, and the chaos is part of the charm.

Great for nephews but squishies may wear out
Bought for my nephews—rules are easy enough even if they can’t read everything. Battles are quick and we played many rounds in a row. The only downside: the foam burritos showed wear after a few sessions around the eye stitching, so I plan to buy replacements.

Grace 4/5
Holiday chaos led to an unexpected cleanup
I wrapped this for my sister and on Christmas morning the family went wild when we opened it. It’s a loud, physical game and one round ended with someone injured, which required cleaning and ended the night earlier than planned. My sister loved the idea and play, but I should’ve known it gets rowdy and taken precautions.

Smile Saurus 5/5
Fun but now banned by one household member
We practiced so we could teach extended family, and it’s easy for two players and even more chaotic with a group. During a Burrito War I accidentally struck my husband in the eye area and he forbade further play. Great fun, but be cautious—it can cause accidental knocks.
