Throw throw Burrito is what you get when you cross a card game with dodgeball. Try to collect matching sets of cards faster than your opponents while simultaneously ducking, dodging, and throwing squishy airborne burritos. The cards you collect earn points, but getting hit by flying burritos loses them. So clear some space and put away the antiques, because you've never played a card game quite like this before. How it works: place a pair of burritos on a table and draw cards. Keep your cards a secret. Rack up points by finding sets of three in the deck. Find matches before anyone else does. If someone plays Burrito cards, a battle ensues. Steal points from your opponents by hitting them with squishy toy burritos. Declare war on your friends. Some battles only involve a handful of players. Others force the entire table to engage in a burrito war. Duel to determine the winner. During a burrito duel, two players must stand back to back, walk three paces, and fire.
- From the creators of Exploding Kittens, Throw Throw Burrito is the world's first dodgeball card game!
- Try to collect matching sets of cards faster than your opponents while simultaneously ducking, dodging, and throwing squishy airborne burritos. The cards you collect earn points, but getting hit by flying burritos loses them.

User questions & answers
Question: | Do you get more points based on where you hit the other person with the burrito |
Answer: | Burn it, to appease the trivia gods |
Question: | Are the burritos made of latex |
Answer: | Yes!! My wife and i’s marriage is strong and going great. But I could see where this could boost conversation, as well as get you thinking about maybe things you’d like to do with your partner. We played this game on 2-3 rod trips already. Only bad thing, it’s pretty much a one time use. No point in asking or discussing the same topics over and over. Hope this helps!! |
Question: | Can I play with real burritos |
Answer: | Hey Shelly, thanks for reaching out! Definitely! Whether new or married for a long time, couples will learn something new about their partners when using the cards. The questions are truly designed to get you into a meaningful conversation and is suitable for different stages in your relationship. |
Question: | Can I order extra burritos if the dog ate half of one |
Answer: | Definitely not a game. Cards have questions for each other to answer in order to converse and maybe learn something new about your partner or just to get each other talking. More a healthy relationship builder than a game. |

User questions & answers
Question: | How many points to you get if you get the question right? It only tells you how many points to delete if you get the question wrong |
Answer: | My wife and I have been using question games and books for over a year. We usually spend 45 minutes a day asking and answering questions. It has brought us closer together and is exciting to find out something new even though we've been married over 50 years. Sometimes the simplest question can lead to major discussions. Also check out books of questions some having over 4000 questions. Some questions are similar but that's OK because people change over time and it keeps you current with who your partner really is. |
Question: | Are the questions multiple choice |
Answer: | Yes. Pretty clean |
Question: | How many players does it take |
Answer: | This game works for both married and unmarried couples. There are people in a relationship for under a year and know each other well enough to fully play the game. If you take a look at a few example cards that we have in the image section of the listing and feel that you guys can answer a few of them, then the game will probably work well for you guys! |
Question: | What happens after you answer all the questions throw it away |
Answer: | Unfortunately not at the moment. We'll announce it if we do release an expansion pack in the near future. |

User questions & answers
Question: | How is this different from the one at Target for |
Answer: | It's not. |
Question: | Does the miniatures come fully assembled |
Answer: | Yes they are! Miniatures are fully assembled, so no additional work required |
Question: | When should this be played? At a certain point in the base game or after completing the base game |
Answer: | This is a standalone game, separate from the original game. As such, you can play it at any time. If you played the original game first, you can use it as an extension of the game, or, if you play this first, you can use your gameplay to dovetail into playing the original game. There is no actual crossover in gameplay stories, though. |
Question: | My copy can shrink wrapped but the top lid is not flush with the bottom half. there's a 1/2" gap at the bottom. is this ok |
Answer: | Yes! All the copies I've seen are like that. The game and everything is just so massive, it has that gap. Even with the original Gloomhaven game, that massive box has a gap |

A stand alone game that precedes the events of Gloomhaven
The game includes four new characters — Valrath Red Guard (tank, crowd control), Inox Hatchet (ranged damage), Human Voidwarden (support, mind-control), and Quatryl Demolitionist (melee damage, obstacle manipulation) — that can also be used in the original Gloomhaven game.
Hereos are invited to investigate mysterious disappearances within the city
Is it the work of Vermlings, or is something far more sinister going on?
Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is aimed at a more casual audience to get people into the gameplay more quickly. All of the hard-to-organize cardboard map tiles have been removed, and instead players will play on the scenario book itself, which features new artwork unique to each scenario.
The last barrier to entry — i.e., learning the game — has also been lowered through a simplified rule set and a five-scenario tutorial that will ease new players into the experience.

User questions & answers
Question: | The contents listed above for 5th edition state that there are 16 road pieces. The 4th edition lists 60. I assume this is an error |
Answer: | We are working on making replacement cups available soon! In the meantime, contact us directly and we can help. |
Question: | What were the earlier editions of Catan like that they had to make more editions? Is the 5th a big improvement? How |
Answer: | If you play with only two people, it's no longer a game but more of an activity. I played it a few times just me and my wife and we both had fun, but it certainly lacks that thrill of competition when you play against another team. If you're looking to only play this with two players, I would not get it. |
Question: | On a different site it says you can play with 2 players here its says 3 which is it |
Answer: | Depends on their maturity level. I have a 12 & a 13 year old that play the game. They loved it from the get go and were able to learn and play the game very quickly. For younger players than that, if they seem to struggle you could probably handpick the cards so its easier for them to give clues or guess the clues given. But, like I said, my 12 & 13 year old learned it in one play and love playing it. Besides, this game can be played team vs team or all in the same team (cooperative). I hope this helps a little. Have fun! :-) |
Question: | Is this version different from Settlers of Catan? Is it an appropriate starter game |
Answer: | We just played it at my twins' 14th birthday party with two 5-person teams. It works best with teams of 4-8 people. Much bigger than that, and the caucusing part of the game gets unruly. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is it suitable for adults |
Answer: | It's great for adults. Awesome for young and very learning for kids... |
Question: | Are the Latice Hawaii tile racks hollow or solid? Do they look as nice as in the photos |
Answer: | The Latice Hawaii racks are 100% solid in translucent blue. This is a nice contrast to the old Latice racks which were hollow (and looks great like in the photos!). |
Question: | Can it be played by two |
Answer: | We play two player. Love it. And our little niece and nephew loves playing the game. Just a really good all around game. And a really nice side note...our adult son who is color deficient can play this as the colors have a design on each tile that is different with each color. Plus! |
Question: | What does this have to do with Hawaii |
Answer: | I used to work in both Hawaii and Tahiti and during my travels was inspired by the myths of Pele and the Mo'o (and how Pele ultimately outsmarted the Mo'o): "For eons, Pele fought Mo’o for dominion over Hawai’i. Mo’o summoned the elements and the animals of Hawai’i to create an insurmountable challenge. Do you have what it takes to become the champion of Hawai’i?" While Latice Hawaii is an abstract game, the theme draws from Hawaiian themes in the use of sun/wind/water, the icons on the tiles (with the exception of the feather which was originally intended as a conch shell!) and even certain aspects of the gameplay (e.g. that there's no significant "griefing" where you're directly rewarded for "taking things away" from other players). I'd note that it was only after playing the game with a number of Hawaiian natives (and through their encouragement) that I came around to using "Hawaii" in the name (I was reluctant given that I wasn't born in Hawaii myself, I only wish I had been!). Anyway, I hope this all makes sense, thanks again for checking out the game! --Brent |

"Latice is a game that does a fantastic job of bridging young or casual gamers with older, more experienced players. I can count on one hand the number of games that my 13-year-old, my 8-year-old, and I can play together. Latice is a thankful addition to that rarefied group."
NAPPA Award 2019
"The game takes about 20-30 minutes to play and can be done as partners to help younger children learn about playing and how to strategize. I would recommend this to parents, grandparents, and teachers, anyone who likes to play games."
Tillywig Toy Awards 2019: Best Family Fun
"Latice Hawaii plays extremely well across a broad range of ages. Kids, friends, parents, and grandparents can compete enjoyably against one another without a predictable outcome, making for outstanding party and family fun - until the final tile is played, it's anybody's game!"
The Dice Tower Seal of Approval
"Latice came out of nowhere and really surprised me. This is a game I can wholeheartedly recommend especially to folks who are not necessarily into gaming. This is an easy sell for someone who wants to include the kids or have people who play at different levels. Thumbs up for me. Check this one out, folks!"

Four diseases have broken out in the world and it is up to a team of specialists in various fields to find cures for these diseases before mankind is wiped out. Players must work together playing to their characters' strengths and planning their strategy of eradication before the diseases overwhelm the world with ever-increasing outbreaks. For example the operation specialist can build research stations which are needed to find cures for the diseases.

But the diseases are out breaking fast and time is running out: The team must try to stem the tide of infection in diseased areas while also towards cures. A truly cooperative game where you all win or you all lose.

User questions & answers
Question: | In the 12 player version, can you still play with as little as 4 people |
Answer: | We've only played with 6 to 8 people. The more people, the better and funnier the game. I didn't even know there was a 12 player version. I don't think it would work as well with just 4 people. |
Question: | How many people are required to play |
Answer: | If you want it to be fun you would at least want 4 players, if you have more than 4 players it really gets comical. |
Question: | Why is the 6 player for ages 6 and up while the 8 player is for 12 and up? It doesn't mention that one is harder than the other, only more booklets |
Answer: | That's odd. I've played both and more booklets seemed to be the only difference. Telestrations After Dark is the "adult" version, but the original should be the same whether it's for 6 or 8 players. I would say 6 and up is fine for both. |
Question: | Is this supposed to come with 8 booklets with 8 pages each or is one of those booklets supposed to only have 6 pages |
Answer: | Our Telestrations game came with 8 booklets WITH 8 pages each. |

Product description
Azul was designed by the world famous, award winning game author Michael Riesling. Azul captures the beautiful aesthetics of Moorish art in a contemporary board game. Players compete as artisans decorating the walls of the royal Palace of Dvora. By carefully drafting the correct Quantity and style of tiles, the most clever of artisans plan ahead to maximize the beauty of their work (not to mention their scores!) while ensuring they wasted no supplies in the process. Introduced by the moors, "azulejos" (originally white and blue ceramic tiles) were fully embraced by the Portuguese, when their King Manuel I, on a visit to the Alhambra Palace in Southern Spain, was mesmerized by the stunning beauty of the Moorish decorative tiles. The King, awestruck by the interior beauty of the Alhambra, immediately ordered that his own Palace in Portugal be decorated with similar wall tiles. As a tile laying artist, you have been challenged to embellish the walls of the royal Palace of Dvora.
- High quality components and fun, accessible gameplay
- Fun tile drafting and tile placement mechanics
- For 2 4 artisans, age 8 and up
- Game plays in 30 40 minutes
User questions & answers
Question: | Can this game be expanded for more players if you purchase two sets |
Answer: | I would suggest using two copies to have two concurrent games running. Less downtime waiting for 5+ players, and much harder to plan a turn. Can still play at the same table though! |
Question: | Which edition is this? 2017 first edition, or the 2018 second edition |
Answer: | The one we sell is copyrighted 2018 with bar code 826956600107. The vendor ID # is NMG 60010EN (Next Move Games, a trademark of Plan B Games). There is no edition identification on the game box. |
Question: | Illegal move in second image, yellow tile |
Answer: | Yup, you can't put that yellow tile there. |
Question: | What is he difference between the basic and full pack |
Answer: | I don't think there is any difference in what you receive. The game is the game. |

Build a mosaic fit for a monarch!
Azul is a tile-placement game in which players compete for the highest score by claiming tiles and arranging them on their board to score points.
Extra points are on offer for collecting sets of the same colour of tile, or for creating particular patterns, while there are penalties for taking tiles that you're unable to use.
But every tile that you claim affects what your rivals can take next. You'll have to make choices that help you without helping them too much!

User questions & answers
Question: | How many players can play at one time |
Answer: | This is a great family game! No vulgar or questionable language is part of the play. Have fun! |
Question: | The instructions say it's for up to 5 players, but is there a reason it wouldn't work for 6, with the addition of a backpack figure |
Answer: | Mitchell said the wooden cities qtys and wooden roads qtys are reversed on the 5th edition (misprint). The qtys on the 4th (16 cities and 60 roads) is correct. |
Question: | Is this more of a kids game? Is it challenging enough for adults |
Answer: | Most games don't get several printings. Catan is one of the few that has gotten more than one. That happens when there is high enough demand to warrant more being produced. They also tend to change a thing here and there, like the robber changing from black to gray, or the box going from a square to a rectangle. A rules update here and there, and you have 5th edition. It's more about popularity than updates though. |
Question: | Can someone tell me what the differences are between the 2nd and 1st generation games |
Answer: | My husband and I play all the time. We don't use the "robber" but, if you roll a 7, you DO get to take one of the other's cards. The game takes a bit longer and you should always make one of your first choices a "3 for 1" trade port or you could be stuck without moves for a long time. We have learned to place our original settlements where we can collect the necessary cards to build roads AND future settlements. We didn't play for over a year because we couldn't find anyone else to play. We love the game and finally gave it a go on our own. You have to adjust your strategy and it's a far different game than it is with 3 or 4 players but it's still lots of fun. We love it! |
Question: | Tiene el juego de chamaleon pero en español |
Answer: | Settlers of Catan was rebranded to Catan starting with this printing. This version is the 5th edition of the game and it is the base game that you need to get started. |
Question: | What is the minimum number of players you can have |
Answer: | You can absolutely play with just two people. My daughter (age 10) and I play at least once a week. This game has a lot of flexibility if you want to change how you keep score or modify challenges to make them a little easier for younger players or less coordinated grown ups. This game was a quarantine life saver. You can do just a few challenges at a time or play the game in one sitting. Everything you need is in the box so you don’t need scrounge around the house to find items to complete challenge cards. |
Question: | Can you order more topic cards |
Answer: | The recommended number of players is 2-8. There is a section in the rules on how to play with only 2 people. |

THREE TO EIGHT PLAYERS, ONE WORD EACH
Everyone sounded pretty convincing, but someone isn’t who they say they are. That someone is The Chameleon. In each round of The Chameleon, a secret word is selected from a Topic Card in the middle of the table. Everyone knows what the word is, except for the player with the Chameleon Card but which player is it?
GAMEPLAY IS FUN AND ENGAGING
Using cunning, social deduction and some serious mob mentality, each player shouts out a related word to prove their innocence and tries to track down the impostor. Once everyone’s said their piece, the voting begins and the moment of truth arrives.
DON'T. GET. CAUGHT.
In order to successfully track down the guilty player and win the game, players will have to use all of their teamwork and witch-hunting skills. If you’re the Chameleon, however, the rules are much more simple. Don’t. Get. Caught.
INCLUDES
- 40 Topic Cards
- 14 Code Cards
- 2 Chameleon Cards
- 1 Six-Sided Die
- 1 Eight-Sided Die
- 1 Marker
- 1 Custom Card
- 1 Clear Sticker
- 1 Instruction Sheet
FIND THE SECRET WORD
Shuffle a chameleon card into the code cards and hand them out. One of you is now the chameleon. Roll the dice and use your code card to find the secret word (if you’re the chameleon just pretend!)
BLEND IN, DON'T GET CAUGHT!
Each player now says one word to prove that they know what the secret word is. If you’re too obvious the chameleon will work it out and will successfully blend in. If you’re too vague the other players will suspect you’re the chameleon!
SPOT THE CHAMELEON
Everyone votes on who they think the chameleon is. If they get it wrong the chameleon wins the game. If they get it right the chameleon still has a chance to escape by guessing the secret word.

Question: | How many can play this game |
Answer: | Spy Alley is a classic hidden identity strategy board game for 2-6 players. “Best Mind Game” by Mensa, Spy Alley will have you bluffing, deceiving and double-crossing your friends and family to earn the title of the world’s top spy. Perfect of adults, Kids (ages 8+) or Families, Fun for everyone! |
Question: | Amazon's recommended age for this is 5 and up, but the manufacturer says something different. Is this too complicated for 4 to 7 year olds |
Answer: | I would concur with the starting age of 5 years. A very bright 4 year old might be Ok with some coaching. This game requires some planning and foresight, as the player must purchase what they need but also what they don't need (in order to throw suspicion off their true spy identity). So, I think it would be a stretch for a 4 year old to play. A kindergartener, at 5, would be the youngest I would recommend. A seven year old would be quite capable of enjoying this game and playing independently, in my experience. This is not too complicated for 5 and up. |
Question: | Would this game be challenging enough for two adults to play or is it more geared toward children? Looking for a fun game for my husband and me |
Answer: | Spy Alley is mostly luck, (about 90% in my opinion). Most of the time you roll 1 die & then move, taking the action of the space you land on. It's not a bad game for brand new players, but if it's a game you want to play regularly, I don't recommend it. If you and your husband like to play games, and you like games involving some skill, there are lots of other games on the market that are better, I'm sorry to say. Games my 25 year old daughter & I like a lot are Biblios, Stone Age with its expansion, Splendor, Agricola, Pastiche, and Evolve! (not Evolution). Spy Alley is a game I'd say is better for children because of the luck involved, where they have a chance of winning more. If you haven't played any of the games I mentioned, then watch the tutorials for those games on You Tube before buying any of them to see what catches your interest. My criteria for buying new games are: Friendly, replay ability, 2 or more players, not needing house rules, more skill than luck, and 2 hours or less to play. I'm SURE you & your husband would like any of the games I mentioned, and I hope this helps you decide on a game. Have fun! |
Question: | Is this game geared more for children or adults? I am buying this as a gift for adult game board enthusiasts |
Answer: | It's a family game, for kids and adults to play together. It seems as if the game is harder the more players there are, so maybe 6 adults might enjoy playing it. I've only played with children, three players max, and it's a bit easy. My one beef with the game is that it would be more interesting if there were a greater number of spies, so that it would be more difficult to guess what spy another player is. By giving up a turn, you can guess what spy another player is and if you are right, that person is out. If you are wrong, you're out. But there are only six spies, so it's not hard to guess. The players go around the board buying or otherwise acquiring necessary spy items. When a player has all her spy items needed, she goes to her embassy, declares herself and wins. |

User questions & answers
Question: | How family friendly is this? We have family nights ranging from 4 y/o to 60. All of whom want to play |
Answer: | We play this with our 10 year old - 17 year old and the adults. It is as family friendly as your audience. We love it and get a good laugh every time we play. Your 4 year old wouldn't be able to play, though. They need to be able to write quickly and process questions and answers. |
Question: | What is the difference in the blue and the green cards |
Answer: | For me the difference is only the categories. Questions for both are almost the same. It just the way they phrase the questions. Very entertaining game. |
Question: | How many questions/cards does this game have? I don't want to just have the same cards that we're playing with over and over |
Answer: | There are 400 cards. You should be able to play this game about 30 times before you run out of cards. |
Question: | I am hosting a game night for 12 people. would double ditto accommodate that many people to play at the same time? what others games would be a good |
Answer: | Yes, Double Ditto can accommodate 12 people or more. Its great for parties or game nights. Other games that can be played with large groups that I can think of are Outburst, 5 Second Rule, Taboo, and Rollick. Have a fun game night. |
