Garbage
The students learned a new card game - called Garbage!
Garbage
Needed:
2 or more players
A standard 52 card deck (additional decks are needed for 4 or more players)
Deal:
To start, deal 10 cards to each player.
The remaining deck is placed in the middle.
The cards remain face down.
Setup your cards in two rows of five (face down).
Objective:
The object of the game is to be the first player to line up your cards from Ace to Ten.
Game Play:
The 1st player picks a card from the pile that is face down.
When a numbered card is drawn, the card is placed in the corresponding spot.
For example, a 5 drawn will be put face up in the 5th spot on your row.
The face down card in the 5 spot is flipped up and moved accordingly.
When a player can no longer make a move, a discard takes place to end the turn.
The next player to the left can choose to take the top discard, or draw the top card of the deck.
The Kings are Wildcards and can be put in any spot.
The Jacks and Queens are “Garbage” and are discarded when picked up (that player’s turn ends).
Aces are used for the 1 spot.
Winning:
Once a player has flipped up all his/her cards he/she says, “One person’s trash is another person’s treasure!”
Wildcards:
Kings are Wildcards and can move.
For example, a player with a King in the 2 spot and draws a 2, can replace the King with the 2.
Then the King can then be moved to a different spot.
