Dueling Palindrome Games

Tacocat Spelled Backwards is a Tabletop Card Game for Two

— December 31, 2020 — Life-Stages
Tacocat Spelled Backwards is a brand-new card game for two that combines strategy and luck, and challenges players to get Tacocat closer to their side of the board. The new dueling card game comes from the creators of the viral Exploding Kittens game and it is fueled by the same kind of humor that captured the hearts of thousands of players.

The game is touted as a "palindrome-powered tug of war" and the first look of the game is being revealed at AsmoFair, Asmodee’s pioneering virtual trade show, in January.

As people are playing fewer big party games, brands are creating games for a much smaller number of players who want to stay entertained while they stay at home.
