Why it's on GiftsFeed

Card-driven dodgeball game with foam avocados you throw at other players

Most party card games keep you sitting still, waiting for your turn while everyone else takes theirs. This one interrupts the card play with bursts of dodgeball, so you're always half-ready to duck or grab a projectile. It works because the foam avocados are soft enough to throw without worry but solid enough that getting hit feels like a real penalty.

The format suits groups that get restless during long card rounds or anyone who wants a game that breaks the usual party-game mold without requiring a big open space or athletic ability.

Good gift when

  • Groups who want a party game with movement and surprise
  • People who find most card games too passive
  • Households where throwing things indoors is encouraged
  • Players who enjoy games that keep everyone involved between turns

Skip it if If your space is too cramped to throw things safely or if anyone in the group dislikes sudden physical surprise, this won't work. The game requires reflexes and tolerance for mild chaos.

What's included

  • Deck of game cards
  • Two foam avocados
  • Boo Boo tokens

If you're giving it

The details

This game combines a card-matching mechanic with physical dodgeball rounds. You deal cards around the table and work toward collecting three matching cards to score points. When someone plays a battle card, the action stops and two players grab the foam avocados and throw them at each other.

The foam avocados are soft projectiles designed to be thrown indoors without damaging anything or hurting anyone. They rest on the table between rounds, and when a duel begins, players scramble to grab them and start throwing.

Battles resolve quickly—someone gets hit, earns a Boo Boo token, and the card round resumes. The mix of strategy and sudden physical chaos keeps everyone alert, even when it isn't their turn. You're never more than a few seconds from diving under the table or laughing as someone across from you takes an avocado to the shoulder.

Setup is immediate. Deal the cards, place the two foam avocados in reach, and start playing. No board, no complicated rules to memorize. The game works for groups that want a party atmosphere without relying entirely on trivia or word games.

Questions

Yes, they are made from soft foam designed to be thrown at people and objects without causing injury or damage. They are squishy and lightweight.
How long does a typical game last?
Games are fast-paced and usually last fifteen to twenty minutes, depending on how many battles occur and how quickly players collect matching cards.
Do you need a lot of space to play?
You need a table for the cards and enough room around it for players to dodge or move quickly when avocados start flying. A living room or dining area is usually sufficient.
Is this game loud?
