About the game
Roll, win, and avoid the bin! In Dumpster Dice, roll to complete the numbered spaces on the lid while avoiding sending your dice to the dreaded dumpster. Dumpster Dice is an easy-to-learn, fast-paced game. With multiple ways to play, it’s perfect for family game nights. Combine it with Trash Dice for a bigger, crazier experience! How to play: The first player rolls one die. This die will be set in the line in its right spot on the lid. The goal of this is to make a straight from 1 to 6. Next, the second player rolls one dice. If it matches the first die that is already in the line, it is Garbage and is put in the dumpster. On the other hand, if it’s a different number, then it’s placed in its correct spot in the line and play moves on. Play continues in this manner until one player places the last number in the line. When the line is complete, the player who put the last die in gets to pick up all the dice from the run. Now the next player re-rolls one die and adds it to the line to start a new round. The winner of the game is the player who manages to have dice when all other players have none. Includes 80 dice (4 different colors) Removable lid becomes game board Instructions include 4 additional ways to play Combine with Trash Dice to play with up to 6 players Includes sticker sheet to "tag" your dumpster —description from the publisher
