Also known as Garbage.
How to play Trash
- 1Everyone gets ten cards face down in two rows. Each spot stands for a rank: Ace to 5 across the top row, 6 to 10 across the bottom.
- 2On your turn, draw from the stock, or take the top discard if it fits a spot you still need.
- 3Put the card face up in its own spot and pick up the face-down card that was there. Keep going with each new card for as long as it fits.
- 4Jacks are wild: put one in any face-down spot. If you later get the real card for a spot a jack is holding, you may put it there and move the jack to another face-down spot.
- 5Queens, kings and cards for spots you have already filled end your turn. Throw them on the discard pile.
- 6Once someone fills every spot, everyone else gets one more turn. Everyone who filled their layout gets one card fewer next round: nine, then eight, all the way down to one.
- 7The first to fill a layout of just one card wins. With four or more players, two decks are shuffled together.
- 8If a round drags on past 60 turns each, it ends with nobody moving down. After 40 rounds the smallest layout wins.
