4. A Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza card game that’s an absolute BALL to play. It gets super silly and super intense! Play a round with them, and you’ll love this game as much as your niece/nephew, mayyyybe more.
To play, pass out all the cards to players and have everyone keep their pile face down. Everyone takes turns putting a card in the middle while saying “taco,” “cat,” “goat,” “cheese,” and “pizza” in that order. If the picture on the card that’s placed down matches the word that’s been said, everyone races to slap the center pile of cards, and whoever slaps the pile last has to add the center pile to their personal pile. Oh! And there’s also “narwhal,” where everyone makes a unicorn horn with their hands clapped together above their heads; “gorilla,” where everyone bangs on their chest like a gorilla; and “groundhog,” where everyone has to knock on the table. Whoever does the motion last picks up the center pile. Whoever runs out of cards first wins! You can play with three to eight players, and the *recommended* age is 8+.
Promising review: “My kids (ages 7–13) LOVE this game, and it’s incredibly fast and easy to learn (as opposed to so many games these days). We love how loud and silly it gets. We’ve played with groups of adults, and they seem to enjoy it as much as the kids do! We will keep this game in rotation for a long time.” —Dear_Jane
