Garbage needs Stacking

Taking out the garbage is a very unpopular task and so the one who causes the garbage bin to overflow must take it out.

You assemble the garbage bin and each player is given a set of number cards of values 1 to 10; there are 40 garbage pieces, 10 each of milk cartons, cans, bottles and apple cores.

At the start of a turn the garbage bin is filled, according to the rules and in relation to the number of players, with some garbage pieces in random order.

You draw three cards from your deck and play one card face down. Then cards are revealed and players stack - in ascending order of numbers on the cards and using one hand only- the number of garbage pieces, determined by the card, into the bin. If two cards show the same number the player with fewer mice on his cards goes first. You must choose one kind of garbage and may only continue with another kind if there are not enough of the first kind. You can use garbage to shift garbage, but cannot use your hand to do so.

When you manage to successfully placed the last piece of garbage you take the top point chip for your score. Should something fall out of the bin you take the top chip for penalty points. In both cases the bin is emptied and refilled. After 10 round or when the last points chip has been taken you win with the highest score.

A cute stacking game with an unusual topic, the garbage pieces are cumbersome enough to be difficult and if there really is a strategy to get rid of high cards can be tested in the next game, because this coping with garbage is good fun for the whole family!
