Why it works

Everyone lays down cards in turn while chanting 'taco, gato, cabra, queso, pizza'. When the word spoken matches the card that turns up, everyone slaps the pile, and the last one takes the cards. It sounds silly, and five minutes later the whole table is laughing. Ten-minute games that make you want another go.
