Quick Answer

To set up your first game of Tacopocalypse, organize the components, place the game board, and follow the rulebook's initial placement instructions for a fast start.

Why Setup Order Matters

A smooth setup gets you to the fun faster and prevents mid-game confusion. Tacopocalypse is a fast-paced food fight game, so a tidy table means more time battling taco trucks.

The rulebook is your friend, but a logical order—components, board, then player areas—keeps everything accessible.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

  1. Unbox and Organize Components: Open the box and sort all components: cards, tokens, dice, and the board. Group them by type for easy access. Check that all components are present before starting.
  2. Place the Game Board: Lay the board in the center of the table, ensuring all players can reach it. Orient it per the rulebook's illustration. Make sure the board is flat and not folded.
  3. Set Up Player Areas: Each player chooses a color and takes the corresponding pieces, placing them in their starting zones as indicated in the rules. Confirm each player knows their starting position.
  4. Prepare Decks and Tokens: Shuffle the decks and place them in their designated spots on the board. Put tokens in a shared pile within reach. Keep decks separate to avoid mixing.
  5. Review Key Rules: Before starting, skim the rulebook for turn order and win conditions. Clarify any questions with your group. Agree on any house rules before play begins.
