2. Revise with Australian language/slang/reference (230) 
3. Keep the card as is (100)

Taco! Cat! Goat! Cheese! Pizza! is as unique as its name. It's a power packed quick and simple punk party game.

This is a high octane rowdy cousin to Slap Jack and Irish Snap, and it's filled to the brim with hand slapping mayhem!

Each player places a card from their hand (like snap and dobble) face up in a community pile while saying taco/cat/goat/cheese/pizza in player sequence - when the card matches the mantra - boom - everyone slaps their hand on the deck - the last one picks up the cards - the winner is the player to lose all their cards first.

For extra fun, there are special action cards – the gorilla, narwhal, and groundhog, which players have to make gestures before racing to slap the deck!

Suitable for 8 years + for 3-8 players.

 New York Times bestseller!

Boys can be anything they want to be! This timely book joins and expands the gender-role conversation and gives middle-grade boys a welcome alternative message: that masculinity can mean many things. You won’t find any stories of slaying dragons or saving princesses here.

In Stories for Boys Who Dare to Be Different, author Ben Brooks - with the help of Quinton Wintor’s striking full-colour illustrations - offers a welcome alternative narrative: one that celebrates introverts and innovators, sensitivity and resilience, individuality and expression.

It’s an accessible compilation of 75 famous and not-so-famous men from the past to the present day, every single one of them a rule-breaker and stereotype-smasher in his own way. Entries include Frank Ocean, Salvador Dali, Beethoven, Barack Obama, Ai Weiwei, Jesse Owens, and so many more-heroes from all walks of life and from all over the world.
