He called it &#8220;Taco Ninja Adventure&#8221; and it&#8217;s based on a comic book series that he and his friends wrote. William and I have been developing Taco Ninja Adventure together over the past 2 years and it&#8217;s been a lot of fun and great bonding experience. The little man has a knack for coming up with taco and ninja based puns. We&#8217;re so excited that the Kickstarter is finally live and we want to share what we&#8217;ve been working on!<\/p>\n<p>Taco Ninja Adventure is a team based, card and dice game that takes 15-20min for 2-6 players. It&#8217;s definitely inspired by King of Tokyo and Magic the Gathering, and designed to be a light weight game that is approachable for kids and fun for adults. We also put a lot of time and effort into finding an artist that fit the style of the game. Sol Azpiroz (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/azpimar\/?hl=en\">@azpimar<\/a>) has created some really amazing Taco Ninja artwork and we&#8217;re so lucky to be working with her. We&#8217;d love for you to check out our Kickstarter page to see it for yourselves!<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-CfafOd-WDH0\/W_r3lYloTdI\/AAAAAAAAAuM\/gLq9Hgm_LTAmBsYNBKvRbU7oleQzdNm1gCEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Final%2B-%2BFire-Taco-07.jpg?ssl=1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A feminine ninja with a taco for a head and flames shooting out of the eyes and around the feet.\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1562\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"624\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-CfafOd-WDH0\/W_r3lYloTdI\/AAAAAAAAAuM\/gLq9Hgm_LTAmBsYNBKvRbU7oleQzdNm1gCEwYBhgL\/s640\/Final%2B-%2BFire-Taco-07.jpg?resize=640%2C624&#038;ssl=1\" title=\"\" width=\"640\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/624;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><b><\/b><br \/><b>Rusty, who contacted me about the game, has created a game that appears pretty simple, and the theme is silly and fun.
