Product Information
Full details
The Taco Time Card Game by Ridley's Games is a fun, spec-taco-lar dice-rolling, push-your-luck game designed for families and groups of 2-6 players aged 8 and up. Its key benefit is providing engaging, 30-minute gameplay that keeps players on the edge of their seats as they try to collect ingredients for delicious dishes. A potential caveat is that the push-your-luck mechanic means players can 'bust' if they roll too many incorrect ingredients. The game involves strategically rolling dice to gather food cards and drink cards, but be wary of rolling too many of the wrong ingredients.

Troubleshooting
Player misunderstands the 'bust' rule
Clearly explain that if a player rolls too many 'wrong' ingredients (refer to specific icons on dice), they lose all progress for that turn and cannot collect any cards.
Dice are difficult to read
Ensure good lighting conditions during gameplay. If dice are consistently unclear, consider using dice with larger pips or contrasting colors.
Missing cards or dice
Check all packaging thoroughly. If components are confirmed missing, contact the manufacturer, Ridley's Games, for potential replacements.
