The Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza Ridiculously Large Edition is exactly what it sounds like: a supersized version of the wildly popular card game by Dolphin Hat Games. Every card has been blown up to a massive 8.5" × 6" — more than six times the area of a standard playing card — making it perfect for situations where a normal deck just doesn't cut it.
The gameplay is 100% identical to the original. No new rules, no learning curve. If you've played the original, you can pick this up and start immediately. The only difference is scale.
The Ridiculously Large Edition contains 64 oversized cards — the same deck composition as the original game, just much bigger.
11 cards each of Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, and Pizza
3 each of Gorilla, Groundhog, and Narwhal
Quick-reference rules included in the deck
| Card | Action Before Slapping |
|---|---|
| 🦍 Gorilla | Beat your chest twice with both fists |
| 🦦 Groundhog | Knock on the table twice with both fists |
| 🦭 Narwhal | Put both hands together above your head like a narwhal horn |
When a special card is flipped, all players must perform the action before slapping the pile. The last player to complete the action and slap takes the pile.
The rules are simple enough to explain in under a minute, but the chaos keeps every round fresh.
Deal the cards
Shuffle all 64 cards and deal them face-down as evenly as possible. Players keep their pile face-down in front of them without looking.
Chant and flip
Players take turns flipping their top card face-up onto the center pile while saying the next word in the sequence: Taco → Cat → Goat → Cheese → Pizza → Taco → Cat… and so on.
Slap on a match
When the word spoken matches the image on the flipped card (e.g., you say "Cat" and a Cat card appears), everyone races to slap the pile. The last player to slap takes the entire pile and adds it to the bottom of their hand.
Special cards trigger actions
When a Gorilla, Groundhog, or Narwhal card is flipped, all players must perform the matching action before slapping. The last to do so takes the pile.
Win by emptying your hand
The first player to get rid of all their cards wins. If you run out of cards mid-turn, you're still in — wait for the next slap opportunity to steal the pile back.
The whole point of the Ridiculously Large Edition is visibility. Standard cards get lost on a big table or in bright sunlight. At 8.5" × 6", these cards are easy to see from across a picnic blanket, a backyard table, or a crowded living room floor. It's the go-to choice for:
Officially rated for ages 7+, the game works well for kids, teens, and adults alike. The 2–8 player range covers most group sizes. With 8 players the game gets chaotic fast — which is exactly the point.

"Bought this for a family reunion. The giant cards were perfect — everyone could see them from across the table. Absolute chaos and we loved every second."
"We played this at a BBQ and it was the highlight of the night. The oversized cards make it so much more fun when you're outside."
"Great game, just know the box is huge. Not something you throw in a bag easily. But for home parties it's perfect."
Yes, completely. The rules, card types, and gameplay are identical. The only difference is the card size — 8.5" × 6" vs the standard ~3.5" × 2.5".
64 cards total: 55 main cards (11 each of Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza), 9 special action cards (3 each of Gorilla, Groundhog, Narwhal), plus rule cards.
Technically the rules allow it, but the mismatched sizes would make it obvious which cards are which — removing the surprise element. It's best played as a standalone deck.
If you play mostly at home or in small groups, the standard edition is fine. But for parties, outdoor events, or groups of 6+, the oversized cards genuinely improve the experience — and the novelty factor alone makes it a great gift.
Target typically has the best everyday price at $19.99. Amazon lists it at $24.99 but may have deals during sales events. Check both before buying.
Grab the oversized edition and bring the chaos to your next party, BBQ, or family game night.
