Wild Wild Taco has more of all the specials you love from Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza! Special action cards from the original game plus NEW characters are combined with ALL-NEW rules. In this game, the Taco is wild while the specials are not… unless two are played in a row!

Players take turns flipping over their card while saying, “Wild, Wild, Taco.” When a card played matches the one before it, everyone does the corresponding action and races to slap the pile. The first to get rid of all their cards wins!

How to Play Wild Wild Taco

---

Objective of the Game:

Get rid of all your cards.

---

Setup:

Shuffle and deal out all cards, face down. Players must not look at their cards. The youngest player goes first.

---

Gameplay:

The first player flips over a card while saying “Wild!” Moving clockwise, the next player flips over a card while also saying “Wild!” The next player flips over a card and says “Taco!”

Game play continues in this fashion until one of the following happen:

1. A Taco Card Is Played:

When a Taco card is played, everyone races to slap the pile. The last person to slap the pile must take all the cards and place them on the bottom of their pile.

2. Two Special Cards Match:

If two matching special cards are played in a row, players must complete the action (see list) and then slap the pile. The last person to slap the pile must take all the cards and place them on the bottom of their pile.

Special Cards & Actions:

• Gorilla: Strum guitar
• Narwhal: Make horn above head
• Groundhog: Drum on the table
• Seal: Clap twice
• Disco Chicken: Disco dance

---

Additional Rules:

• Wrong action: All players must complete the correct action before slapping the pile. If a player does the wrong action, they can correct it and still slap the pile. The last person to do the correct action and slap the pile takes the cards.
• No peeking: Players must flip their cards outwards, so they cannot see the card before the others. If they peek at the card before playing, they must take the pile.
• Pace: Players must keep an even pace. If they go out of rhythm or play out of turn, they must take the pile.
• Running out of cards: If a player runs out of cards, they continue playing by saying the next word in the “Wild, Wild, Taco!” sequence. To win, the player must be the first person to slap the central pile after a match is played.

---

Winning the Game:

The game ends when a player with no remaining cards is the first to correctly slap a taco or a special card!
