Throw Throw Avocado - A Game by Exploding Kittens

Someone Is About to Throw an Avocado at Your Face

You will be mid-grab, cards flying everywhere, completely certain you are about to complete your set — and then a squishy foam avocado will arc across the table and bounce off your forehead. You will have earned it. That is the promise of Throw Throw Avocado, and it delivers every single time.

What It Is

Exploding Kittens — the studio behind some of the best-selling party games of the past decade — takes their signature chaos and makes it physical. Throw Throw Avocado is a fast-paced matching card game where players race to collect sets from a shared pool of cards, all at the same time, with no turns and no waiting. The twist comes when specific card combinations hit the table: suddenly the cards stop mattering and the foam avocado halves start flying. Dodge the incoming guacamole-to-be and you stay in the clear. Take a hit and you lose points. The whole room becomes the game.

This is the avocado-themed follow-up to the wildly popular Throw Throw Burrito, and if anything, a crowd that has already been initiated throws faster and aims better — which is somehow both better and worse for everyone involved.

Who It's For

Throw Throw Avocado is at its best with four to six players, though it technically supports as few as two. The age recommendation starts at seven, making it a genuine option for mixed-age family gatherings where the adults want to play just as badly as the kids. Rules land in under five minutes, rounds wrap up in fifteen to thirty, and zero gaming experience is required — just the willingness to duck. It thrives at birthday parties, holiday get-togethers, or any occasion that needs an icebreaker with some airborne fruit.

Features & Highlights

The two included foam avocado halves are soft enough for indoor use without turning anyone's living room into a liability issue. The card artwork carries Exploding Kittens' familiar absurdist illustration style — cheerful, slightly unhinged, and immediately recognisable. The simultaneous card-grabbing mechanic is the engine that makes it work: nobody sits idle, energy never drops, and the escalation from calm to full-room scramble happens faster than anyone expects. The whole package is compact enough to toss in a bag and bring along, which fits the game perfectly.
