Description
Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza is filled to the brim with hand-slapping mayhem! As in Snap and Dobble, each player places a card from their hand face up into a community pile while saying taco/cat/goat/cheese/pizza in player sequence. When the card matches the mantra — boom! — everyone slaps their hand on the deck, with the last one to slap picking up the cards. Whoever rids themselves of cards first wins!
For extra fun, special action cards – the gorilla, narwhal, and groundhog — force players to make certain gestures before racing to slap the deck!

Quotes (from this video)
- Hey everyone. As you can tell, I'm not at the studio right now. I'm at beautiful NY Beach in Newport, Oregon on vacation with the family.
- And I wouldn't necessarily bring all of these games on any given vacation, but these are some of the games that are kind of like my go-to travel games whenever I'm considering, hey, I'm going on a trip.
- But it's it's a game that I need to let it set in.
- And for whatever reason, just didn't make the top of the list.
- As far as I'm concerned, Radlands is just one of the best head-to-head dueling games of all time.
- But it's one of those ones where I know if I bring with me, I can get a bunch of games in, especially if there's someone else who likes head-to-head card games.
- And it is so compact.
- Hive is just one of those games that I it's going to be timeless. I think Hive is going to outlast me.
- but this is the kind of game that I would definitely bring to a cabin if I knew that I was going to have other gamers there.
- And you know what? Splender Duel hands down better than Splendor.
- So, number five is on here because well probably Splender Duel is only two players and I need games that can accommodate a higher player count but have interesting mechanics but are easy to teach and you cannot go wrong with Sushi Go.
- Sky Team itself is just one of the all-time great cooperative games as far as I'm concerned.
- It's one of the all-time great two-player games, and it's one that I'm always going to bring traveling with me.
- Oddlands, but it is just a fantastic tile placement game using cards where each card has four different terrain quadrants on it and then you're using that to place animals in habitats.
- It also has a really good solo mode which if you're on vacation sometimes you find yourself alone and you got nice 20 25 maybe 30 minute stretch and you want to play some Oddlands or some other games solo.
- Everyone tends to love Flip 7.
- It's push your luck heaven.
- It's kind of a cheating game, but it's Reicide.
- Reisside is legitimately one of my favorite cooperative games of all time.
- If you like high pressure, short playing, easy to learn but difficult to master games, Reicide is hard to beat.
- This is Reicside and it's my all-time favorite travel game.
- But above all else, thanks for being such a great community.

- It's a cooperative game. you're all working together to get Frodies to Mordor.
- And I just think that this there's something. It's not Christmas themed. It's not holiday themed, but there's something like about this game that's just very magical.
- It's cozy, it's quick, it's simple, it's festive.

Quotes (from this video)
- The cover and the title of the game are more important than the gameplay.
- The powers are very different though. Like in Rebel Princess, it's all about shot and fraud, throwing another princess under the bus because that's what Hearts like thrives on, right? ... But for a bidding game, you you can't do that at all because it's bidding is so difficult in itself.
- All the princess powers are more about uh information, sharing information, and gaining information. So that way you can make more accurate bids.
- If you don't use your princess power in zombie princess, you get uh you get points. You get something.
- We wanted all the princesses to have weapons. And that is still my favorite day that I've ever worked for Bez was our pitch meeting where like I think Cinderella should have pumpkin bombs.
- The hook is the meta aspect of the game, right?
- People love a game so much that they want to include it no matter what, even if it doesn't do anything for their strategy.
- I love collusion. this that that is controversial. I think that would be that's a little divisive. Some people hate that. But I love kind of like going against the you know king making or at least tearing down the king.
- The dopamine hits of that game are pretty fun. It's like, 'Oh, I can do this and this and this and this and this.' So it's Comboastic.
- It's gorgeous. It's gorgeous. Like, there are games where you open up and you're like, did I really get my money's worth? ... You just see it. You're like, 'Yeah, I got my money's worth. This game is gorgeous.'
- Everyone has like this little action board with like these little check marks and you take a little check mark and you stick it in that little recessed area. ... But then you're going to pass that around the table and then someone to your left will give you theirs and then you'll take another action. But you can't take the action that they took. You'll have to take another action. You do take the action that they took, but you have to pay them money to do it.
- I think that saying that these are bad games or not games in a way like you're we're putting a gate where you don't really need one because at ultimately at the end of the day we want more gamers. We want more people in this board game cafes. We want more people showing up to game nights. We want to because we want more people to game with.
- It is lighter than Sweetlands um, but more complicated than Oia.
- The last place gets a whole bunch of debt, which is negative victory points. Uh, which is brutal in a two-player game because it's either you win or you lose, right?
