Garbage

Flip all ten cards before your opponent does.

Setup

  • •Each player gets 10 face-down cards in a 5×2 grid (positions Ace through 10).
  • •The remaining cards form the draw pile.

Gameplay

  • •On your turn, draw from the deck or take the top card of the discard pile.
  • •Place an Ace–10 face-up in its matching position (Ace=1, 2=2, … 10=10).
  • •The card that was there becomes your next card to place — keep going!
  • •Kings are wild: place one in any face-down slot and continue with the displaced card.
  • •If a King is filling in for a slot, the real card for that slot can replace it — the King then moves to another face-down slot.
  • •Jacks and Queens are garbage — discard them and your turn ends.
  • •Your turn also ends if the slot for your card is already face-up.
  • •When the draw pile runs out, the discard pile (except its top card) is shuffled into a new one.

Winning

  • •First player to flip all 10 cards in their grid wins.

House rules

  • •One hand decides the game — the layouts don't shrink over several deals.
