Exploding Kittens, makers of Kickstarter hits Exploding Kittens, and Bears vs Babies has another impertinent card game currently funding on the platform. Throw Throw Burrito is quickly approaching the $2 million funding mark.

Described as the world’s first dodgeball card game, players compete to collect matching sets of three card in the deck faster than opponents, while also dodging (and throwing) squishy airborne burritos. Collecting card sets earns points, but being hit by a burrito subtracts them. Players draw cards secretly, and attempt to find matches before anyone else. But, if someone plays Burrito Cards, a battle ensues. Battles are dictated by the cards, so it may only involve a few players, or it may be a full out Burrito War.  Combatants in a Burrito Duel will stand back to back, walk three paces and fire.

The original Throw, Throw Burrito edition comes with 2 throwable slow-rise foam burritos, 120 game cards, 6 game tokens, a game badge and instructions. The game is for 2 – 6 players, ages 7 and up. MSRP is $20.00.   

The campaign has currently raised more than $1,985,000 from over 41,100 backers as of this writing. It will run through Thursday March 28. Backer fulfillment is scheduled for September. The game will be carried in Target for the end of the year. Trade release plans have not been finalized.

Exploding Kittens spent several years on top of ICv2’s Top 10 Tabletop Game Kickstarters chart when it made more than $8.7 million in 2015. Bears vs Babies also spent time on the chart, bringing in $3.2 million in support (see “Top 10 Tabletop Game Kickstarters”). Exploding Kittens eventually made its way into hobby distribution and still charts on ICv2’s Top Card/Dice Games  chart (see “Top 10 Hobby Channel Card/Dice Games--Fall 2018”).
