Guacamole is a board game released in 2025 for 2–5 players, 20–40 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Miguel Suárez Olivares and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Take That, and Set Collection.
PapaDrino has invited the most eccentric characters from the gastronomic world to compete in an exciting battle of flavors! Gathered around the table, Lima Kahlo, Onion Musk, Tomathor, Ají Styles, and the siblings Paltricia and Aguacaldo prepare their ingredients, combining them into unique and flavorful dishes. On each turn, you can play an ingredient card from your hand to the table in front of you (your preparation zone) to activate its ability and/or form groups of three or more ingredient cards (dishes). Dishes can be made using cards from your hand, your preparation zone, or by grouping ingredients of the same type, number, or in numerical sequence. When a player draws the last ingredient card from the draw pile, the end of the game is triggered. The player with the most victory points from their dishes, ingredients, and especially for successfully making GUACAMOLE dishes, wins the game! —description from the publisher (translated) PapaDrino ha invitado a los personajes más excéntricos del mundo gastronómico a competir en una emocionante batalla de sabores.

En cada turno, podrás jugar una carta de ingrediente desde tu mano a la mesa frente a ti (zona de preparación) para activar su habilidad y/o formar grupos de 3 o más cartas de ingredientes (platos). Los platos pueden armarse con cartas de tu mano, de tu zona de preparación o con ingredientes del mismo tipo, número o en secuencia numérica. Cuando un jugador roba la última carta de ingrediente del mazo de robo, se activa el final de la partida. Gana quien consiga más puntos de victoria por sus platos, ingredientes y, en especial, por lograr armar platos de GUACAMOLE. —description from the publisher
Guacamole supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Guacamole is 20–40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Guacamole for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Guacamole has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
