Game Components
- A deck of cards featuring various images of Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, and Pizza.
Setup
- Shuffle the cards well and distribute them equally among the players. Each player forms a face-down pile in front of them.

- The next player (clockwise) places their top card on the table pile and says “Cat”.
- This continues in turn with the words “Goat”, “Cheese”, and “Pizza”, then starting again with “Taco”.
- Whenever the spoken word matches the card laid down (e.g., "Cat" is said and a Cat card is placed), ALL players must quickly slap their hand down on the pile of cards.
- Objective: The last player to slap their hand on the pile must take all cards from the center pile into their personal stack.

- Groundhog: Tap the table.
Winning
