About the game
Dive into a whimsical world where adventurers bring their slimy, grimy, and cursed items to be cleaned by your mischievous goblins. Collect valuable treasures while navigating the risks of handling too much dirty laundry. Will you strike it rich, or will you get burned by a cursed relic? This chaotic game requires a bit of strategy and a lot of luck to determine your success! In this card game, adventurers bring their slimy and cursed items to be cleaned by your mischievous goblins. Each round, players draft dirty adventuring gear into their own and opponents’ baskets, aiming to maximize valuable combinations without going bust. Weigh card value against stains — will you stop and score, or risk losing everything? After 4 rounds, cleaned laundry is counted. Personal suit cards score bonus points, but don’t get stuck with mismatched socks! This family-friendly game takes under 30 minutes to play, with quick setup and easy rules. Luck, strategy, and sharp decision-making are key. Players interact by stuffing baskets, encouraging risky moves, and delighting in opponents’ misfortunes during the tense laundry cycle. —description from the publisher
