Kheper Games - From Eggplant to Taco, emoji game (EN/ES)

Worth knowing before you buy: this game's glossary and rules are in English and Spanish only. The cards themselves carry nothing but emojis — this is the only game in the range whose main material does not depend on language. From Eggplant to Taco is about combining two hundred emoji cards into the most suggestive messages. Three emojis to score, four or five for the bolder players.

Why choose this game

• Text-free cards — two hundred emojis, readable whatever the language.
• Fast pace — the game rewards quick wits, not deliberation.
• A glossary included — it decodes the combinations for anyone who does not know them.
• A group game — this is a party game, not a couples' game.
• Comic register — it plays on double meaning and laughter rather than direct eroticism.

How to play

1. Agree on a stop word before you start.
2. Deal the emoji cards and put the glossary in the middle, within everyone's reach.
3. Build a message by combining three emojis — or more to go up a notch.
4. The group decides: the combination lands, or it does not.
5. Store the cards away from damp.

Care and precautions

For adults only. The cards carry nothing but emojis and read in any language; the glossary and rules, however, are in English and Spanish only. It is the lightest constraint in the range, but it exists. Agree on a stop word before you start: it stops things immediately, with no justification and no forfeit. The game is played in a group and runs on innuendo: what makes some people laugh can make others uncomfortable, and everyone stays free to pass. Contains two hundred small cards: keep out of reach of children. Store away from damp and direct light.
