Object of the Game
Get rid of all your cards and be the FIRST to slap your hand on the Central Pile of cards when you see a Match or a Special Card appears.
Terminology
- Draw Pile: the pile of cards each player has.
- Central Pile: the pile in the center of the table.
- Match: when a card matches the word said by a player.
Set Up
Shuffle and then distribute all the cards evenly amongst players, face down (leftover cards are placed back in the box). For a 2, 3, 4 or 5 player game, each player is only dealt 12 cards randomly. Players must not look at their cards while placing them in a draw pile in front of them, face down.
How to Play
The person to the dealer's left puts a card into the center, face-up, saying "Taco". The player on their left then puts their card face-up on top of the previous card, while saying "Cat".
Play continues in this way (going "Taco", "Cat", "Goat", "Cheese", "Pizza", "Taco", "Cat", "Goat", "Cheese", "Pizza"... etc) until the following happens: The card that has just been put down matches the word spoken by the player (e.g., they put down a 'Pizza' while saying "Pizza"). At this point, all the players must SLAP their hands on top of the pile of cards in the center, and the LAST player to do so takes the entire Central Pile, and puts the cards on the bottom of their Draw Pile.
Then that last player starts off the next round saying "Taco", the next player, "Cat", next "Goat"... etc.
In Addition
When a player has used all their cards, they continue to say "Taco", "Cat", "Goat", ... etc. in turn, and still have to SLAP the pile when a match occurs or if a special card appears.
Flinching
If any player slaps incorrectly, or even starts to but jerks their hand back ("flinches") they forfeit the round and pick up all the cards in the center.
Special Cards
All players must complete the actions below immediately when a special card is revealed, and then SLAP the pile. If a player carries out the wrong action or is the last to SLAP the pile, they must pick up all the cards.
Pace
You have to keep a steady fast rhythm to the game. If you break it by forgetting what you're supposed to be saying or by not noticing it's your turn, you have to pick up the cards.
No Peeking
All Players must put cards into the pile by flipping them over facing outward. If a player clearly looks at their card before placing it into the pile, they forfeit the round and pick up all the cards in the center.
Groundhog
Knock on the table with both hands.
Gorilla
All players beat their chest.
Narwhal
Slap their hands above their head to form a horn.
End of the Game
The game ends when a player with no remaining cards is the FIRST to correctly SLAP a match or special card!
