There are no turns in the food offensive, and kids can enjoy throwing their (pretend) food with permission. The game comes with 120 cards, 6 burrito bruise tokens, 2 foam burritos, and one Fear Me badge. To start, deal about 15 cards out to each player. This game is not for exact numbers, strict rule followers, or people who can’t handle a messy stack of cards. It embraces speed, fun, and accuracy in throwing things at other players. 

Players try to match three cards to earn points. Regular matches earn one point, while burrito battle matches count for two points. Battles of brawls, war, and duels ensue. The first person to get hit with a burrito takes a bruise and loses a point. The round ends when all burrito bruises have been given out (after six battles). The person with the most points at the end of the round gets the Fear M Badge. After two rounds, if the person with the Fear Me Badge does not win the second round, they duel the round two winner to determine the champion.

You will want lots of room for this fast-paced game. A table makes it much easier to pick up and pass cards, but you may choose to play standing up to better reach for burritos and avoid throws. You can use other players as shields, but you can’t block another player from accessing burritos. You can catch a burrito thrown at you, and that person loses a point by collecting a bruise.

You can use the minor rule adjustment to play with only two people, in which case all battles involve both players. But this game works best with more players and each set can handle up to six participants, so gather your friends, family, or anyone who needs a laugh and start passing out cards now.
