PlayMonster is adding to its lineup of family-friendly games with the acquisition of Hot Taco’s widely popular Taco vs. Burrito collection. The collection includes the core game and two expansion packs.
Created in 2018 by 7-year-old Alex Butler, the game took over the industry with its blend of humor, strategy, and a hint of absurdity. It has over 20,000 5-star reviews and has rapidly grown from a Kickstarter launch to the No. 16 best-selling game on Amazon in 2024.
In Taco vs Burrito, 2-4 players ages 7 and up compete to create the craziest and most valuable (in points) meal. Each player starts with five cards and continues drawing from the Draw Pile until it’s empty. The player with the most points and the craziest meal combination wins.
