How many people do you need to play this?

You need at least four players to form two teams. The game works best with even numbers so each team has the same size, though you can adjust if needed.

Is this safe to play indoors?

Yes. The burritos are soft foam designed for indoor throwing. You still need enough space to dodge and throw without knocking into furniture, but they won't damage walls or hurt anyone.

Can you play this with just two people?

Not as designed. The game requires two teams, so you need at least four players. The team dynamic and coordinated throwing are central to how battles work.

Do you switch teams between rounds?

You can. The faction choice is made at the start of each game, so you're free to swap sides for the next session. Different power-ups and abilities for each faction encourage trying both.

How long does a typical game take?

Rounds are fast-paced. Collecting card sets and resolving battles keeps things moving, so most games finish in under twenty minutes depending on how quickly your group plays.

Two-team dodgeball card game where you hurl foam burritos at the living dead

Most card games punish you for getting up, and most dodgeball punishes you for standing still. This splits the difference: you're building sets and tracking abilities like any card game, but the payoff is a few seconds of coordinated foam-burrito chaos. The team structure matters because you're not just defending yourself—you're covering your partner and timing throws together. That cooperation, plus the faction choice that flips the power dynamics each round, keeps it from feeling like the same scrum every time. If you've ever wished card night had a little more kinetic energy, this delivers without requiring a gymnasium.

The details

This is a team-based card game that adds a physical dodgeball element to every round. You split into two sides—one playing as Zombies, the other as Survivors—and race to collect sets of three matching cards while preparing for foam burrito combat.

Certain cards trigger battles where teammates coordinate to pelt opponents with soft burritos. Other cards grant Survivors special abilities or give Zombies helpful advantages. The first team to win three battles claims victory.

The dual-team structure means you choose your faction at the start of every session, and power-up variety ensures different strategies emerge each time you play. The foam burritos are squeezable and designed for indoor throwing without breaking anything.

This works best with groups that enjoy active, slightly chaotic gameplay rather than quiet strategy. Expect laughter, quick reflexes, and the occasional burrito to the shoulder.
