Throw Throw Avocado

Got the game today (sorry for taking the pics in the bathroom, only place in the house with good lighting).Immediately upon receiving this game I was excited. I opened the box and blew up the inflatable Burrito and boy did not expect the ginormous size 😅. I know they said ginormous in the description but I was expecting like 1 foot. I was wrong. This thing is 3 feet tall and it is a feat in itself just trying to blow it up (took me stleast 10 minutes)! But let me tell you, when you do get it blownup, you cannot wait to throw it at someone! Just the thought of chucking this ginormous burrito at someone was enough to make me so excited for my next game night! I was worried about being able to throw it, because of it's size and that it is full of air, but it has just enough weight to it that you can definitely throw it at another person and have it actually travel.This version of the game comes with 2 Burritos (pictures for scale (I am 5'7" with 2" boots on in the pictures)), 2 decks of oversized cards (pictures for scale), and what feel like rubber game pieces (flimsy, bit very solid). The Burritos have two air holes (one at the top to fill the burrito toppings section and one at the bottom to fill the whole burrito). The Box that the game comes in has great storage inside and even has a handle on it for easier travel.I love this game already. I havent played it yet but wow I cannot wait to try it out with my friends next game night!

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.

This is one of the best family game night games there is. We have the burrito and avocado set as we love it so much. The rules are a little daunting to begin with but once everyone remembers which war is which it's a blast. I love the fact it includes DOS and don'ts like DO run and hide and DO use objects and each other to shield. It's a simple match 3 concept so easy for kids to learn and will definitely get competitive families up and moving!!!

The game itself is ok and fun, but the box is honestly a mess and you need definitely a pump to use the inflatable burritos!

Fun for all the fammily. The game is great quality and functions awesomely. Easy and simple game which makes it i perfect for anyone. Had a great time playing it at my sons birthday party.
