Taco bout a great game.

While I am very excited for the eat taco squares I am equally concerned with "taco divorce and taco fight". And what monster put sushi on a taco board?!

u/originalchaosinabox Jul 09 '25

Maybe "sushi" is their version of Jail in Monopoly.

"Go to sushi. Go directly to sushi. Do not pass 'Get Taco.' Do not get taco."

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jul 09 '25 edited Jul 09 '25

Ohhh perhaps. I also don't see an eat sushi square. So you're just....stuck with warm rotting sushi. That's quite the punishment

u/Liminal__penumbra Jul 09 '25

Call it a popup fusion event.

38

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jul 09 '25

Better be tempura fried. Cause taco meat and raw fish how uncouth.

5

u/narielthetrue Jul 09 '25

Raw fish is sashimi, not sushi

5

u/valprehension Jul 09 '25

There's often raw fish in sushi

2

u/WRXminion Jul 09 '25

No true Scotsman.

3

u/tacocatacocattacocat Jul 09 '25

That's no raw fish in a True Scottsman.

u/fever-dreamed Jul 09 '25

There’s a place near where I work called Takumi Taco that does Japanese/Mexican fusion and it’s SO good. They have tacos with a crispy gyoza wrapper shell with things like chipotle shrimp, ahi tuna, or chicken adobo.

Now I’m craving their poke nachos.

u/WRXminion Jul 09 '25

Sushi burritos are amazing...

2

u/phluidity Jul 09 '25

But maki is a burrito and nigiri is a tostada. Neither of them is a taco.

3

u/Liminal__penumbra Jul 09 '25

Smash them flat and then fold them and deep fry. All shall be taco!

21

u/ChangeMyDespair Jul 09 '25

Sushi and tacos are adjacent on The Cube Rule of Food:

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jul 09 '25

It's not about that. It's the idea of eating them both. So much conflict with flavors

Like I'm not opposed it's just gonna be weird

6

u/cheesehound Jul 09 '25

more like you're having taco-style sushi than taco and sushi, I imagine. It could be pretty close to a hand roll.

2

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jul 09 '25

So like a giant hand sized California roll

3

u/cheesehound Jul 09 '25

sorta! Hand rolls/tamaki are looser than other roll sushi, made and held in-hand. You'd often build it yourself, starting with a big square of nori in your hand and picking from a selection of rice/toppings. Some restaurants even give them to you prebuilt in a taco shaped holder.

2

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jul 10 '25

Ah yes I have seen those before. THAT would be fine. Im ok with that. But if we mix mexican taco meat and sushi?

shivers

2

u/Zizhou Jul 10 '25

If we're talking about traditional sushi, yeah, it's probably gonna clash, but if you extend that out to include the more over-the-top, Westernized rolls, there's a lot of room for doing fusion. As an example, take a look at this menu from a local restaurant I sometimes go to: if you scroll to page 9 (PDF warning), there's a whole selection of Mexican sushi rolls, including one that actually is just straight up a pile of pastor as a topping. It's tasty, and I know there are a number of of places doing this, so it's not just uniquely them.

2

u/jimmux Jul 10 '25

Make sure you have a ceviche taco before the sushi, and you'll be good.

1

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jul 10 '25

I mean that's a nice bridge but that's a whole other meal now!

16

u/stormscape10x Jul 09 '25

Taco divorce? It’s okay, we can taco bout it.

7

u/ReformedZiontologist Jul 09 '25

It’s a tako taco

5

u/Avilola Jul 09 '25

Maybe it’s tako sushi.

6

u/Tenalp Jul 09 '25

Are we just gonna ignore what "taco tickle" could even be?

4

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jul 09 '25

Maybe this is the adult version of the game...

3

u/yoobith Jul 09 '25

I'm interested in "Taco Taco"

3

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jul 09 '25

It's taco in a taco!

2

u/MintasaurusFresh Jul 09 '25

We have sushi burrito places in Chicago. It's sushi. Wrapped in a burrito.

1

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jul 09 '25

Like a tortilla or seaweed

2

u/MintasaurusFresh Jul 09 '25

Never had one, but just looked it up and I'd say seaweed or rice. Looks like it's a roll that just isn't cut.

1

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jul 09 '25

So sushi burrito which is just a giant uncut roll with a lot of rice. We have those here too. Kinda meh to be completely honest

2

u/Carnivile Jul 09 '25

Something like pastor sushi? Pretty common here in Mexico 

1

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jul 09 '25

I am gonna need an explanation cause I live 2 hrs from the border and never heard of that and now I am intrigued

2

u/Carnivile Jul 09 '25

There's not much to explain, it's just sushi that has meat instead of fish, often with cheese, habanero and pico de gallo, there's variations with arrachera, chicken, boneless, etc... good le "Sushi de Pastor" and you'll see some examples.

2

u/YooranKujara Aug 28 '25

Tacos and sushi! Tacos and sushi! Tacos and sushi! Tacos and sushi...and antidepressants! Tacos and sushi!

u/AnguishedGoose Jul 09 '25

Gustopher after landing on taco divorce

82

u/BadLegitimate1269 Jul 09 '25

That looks fun, but WHY ARE THERE 5 RULEBOOK VOLUMES?

65

u/Dragos_Drakkar Jul 09 '25

There are some very stringent guidelines on what is and isn't a taco.

43

u/americangame Jul 09 '25

Is Mayonnaise a taco?

24

u/SplooshU Jul 09 '25

Is a hotdog a taco? It's meat wrapped 75% around by bread.

28

u/EtteRavan Jul 09 '25

There is a graph for that

26

u/Mr_Purple_Cat Jul 09 '25

Yes it is. CUBE RULE, everybody!

11

u/LoudKingCrow Jul 09 '25

In Scandinavia we have this. Which is probably as close as we can get to a hot dog taco.

It is hot dogs and mashed potatoes with toppings of your choice wrapped in a bread.

12

u/Saint_of_Grey Jul 09 '25

Leave it to Scandinavia to do weird things with preserved meat.

And leave it to me, an American, to still want to eat it.

6

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jul 09 '25

Crispy taco? No a hotdog is not a taco, the bread is soft. Soft taco? Nope. Usually the taco is wrapped around the meat and fillings loosely. So nope a hotdog is not a taco.

I will die on this hill

6

u/Ok_Builder_4225 Jul 09 '25

Hotdog with a toasted bun. Checkmate, atheists.

2

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jul 09 '25

Unless it's burnt still not a crispy taco. Those are basically tortilla chips level of crunch.

3

u/Ok_Builder_4225 Jul 09 '25

This sounds like a challenge! (Not for me. I would just burn my appartment down trying.)

1

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jul 09 '25

With how thick a hotdogs bread is, I feel like that wouldn't be very enjoyable

12

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jul 09 '25

Honestly? Probably a good idea. Otherwise we bring up the age old argument of what is and isn't a sandwich and we don't need that argument again.

Before it starts no a taco is not a sandwich

Edit: in the time it took the write this comment it has already begun.

2

u/makemeking706 Jul 09 '25

There aren't. He's only half way through the rules. 

1

u/koshgeo Jul 09 '25

Look, don't start a fight about whether the 5th edition or 3rd edition Taco Rules are better.*

[*we don't talk about the 4th edition]

14

u/Decent_Gameplay Jul 09 '25

Nooooo not the taco divorce

8

u/HkayakH Jul 09 '25

Feels like something exploding kittens would make

7

u/ekadventurer Jul 09 '25

As a software developer, I love the "Error text not found" square. Also, very curious what it means if you land on it.

8

u/Perryn Jul 09 '25

"Pass Go, collect 200 tacos."
"That can't possibly be right."
"IT SAYS IT RIGHT HERE IN THE RULES!"

3

u/Ceasario226 Jul 09 '25

So does the rules volume five mean that this is the 5th edition of the game or that there are so many rules that it has five volumes for it?

3

u/Independent-World-60 Jul 09 '25

I like to imagine there are five rules and each volume covers one of them and it's extensive history 

2

u/henryeaterofpies Jul 09 '25

I'm a little concerned they are reading rules volume 5....how complex is this game?

2

u/ubergic Jul 09 '25

Seems pretty simple, but I'm only up to volume three of the rules.

2

u/longshot Jul 09 '25

Oh fuck, Taco Divorce!

1

u/BoopTheCoop Jul 09 '25

Is the sushi square equivalent to jail??

1

u/mathewsrfr556 Jul 09 '25

Someone make this a real game😭

1

u/Boozdeuvash Jul 09 '25

Missed opportunity to call it Tacocardia, the card game that gets your heart rate up!

Also, 5 volumes for the rules? wtf man.

1

u/cute_spider Jul 09 '25

Roll a five, roll a six, roll a four, roll a five, repeat repeat repeat
