Throw Throw Burrito Extreme Outdoor Edition: How to Play Outside

Quick answer

Play Throw Throw Burrito: Extreme Outdoor Edition in a clear outdoor space with enough room to dodge, and use the inflatable burritos for throwing instead of the standard cards. Set boundaries before you deal, then run the card-collecting round and the burrito battle exactly as you would indoors, just with more space and softer projectiles.

How to play Throw Throw Burrito outside, step by step

1. Choose and mark a safe play area: Pick a flat, open patch of yard or park with no glass, grills, or traffic nearby. Mark a throwing line and a boundary with cones or shoes so players know where they can move. Common mistake: setting up too close to a fence or window because the inflatable burritos feel harmless. Checkpoint: walk the boundary once before anyone throws. If you cannot clear a safe boundary, move the game rather than risk a broken window.
2. Set out the card game and burritos: Shuffle and deal the cards according to the rulebook that comes with the Extreme Outdoor Edition, and place the inflatable burritos within easy reach of the play area but outside the active throwing zone. Common mistake: leaving the burritos in the middle of the card area so players trip over them during the card round. Checkpoint: confirm every player has their hand and the burritos are staged at the side. Keep the burritos staged, not scattered, until the throwing phase begins.
3. Play the card-collecting round: Run the card phase exactly as the rules describe: collect cards and play your hand to trigger the burrito battle. Keep the pace brisk and keep cards low to the ground so wind does not take them. Common mistake: letting the card round drag on while players stand in throwing positions. Checkpoint: when a battle card is played, pause the card action and move to the throwing phase. Treat the card round as the setup for the throw, not a separate game.
4. Run the burrito battle with outdoor safety rules: When the rules call for a burrito throw, players throw the inflatable burritos only at each other's bodies, never at faces, and only inside the marked boundary. Call a reset if a burrito leaves the play area. Common mistake: chasing a loose burrito into the street or into a neighbor's yard. Checkpoint: agree before the first throw that a burrito out of bounds is simply fetched after the round, not chased mid-play. Stop play to retrieve a stray burrito; do not let the game spill past your boundary.
5. Reset and rotate players between rounds: After each battle, return the burritos to the staging area, reshuffle if the rules call for it, and rotate who deals or who stands where. Common mistake: letting the same players always throw from the same spot, which gives one side an advantage. Checkpoint: swap sides or starting positions every few rounds so the game stays fair. A quick reset between rounds prevents arguments and keeps the yard tidy.
6. Pack down and check for lost cards: At the end, count the cards back into the deck and wipe any dirt or grass off the inflatable burritos before storing them. Common mistake: folding up the game with cards still in pockets or on the lawn. Checkpoint: do a final sweep of the play area for cards and burrito valves. A two-minute pack-down saves you from replacing missing cards later.
