Trash Talk

Introducing Trash Talk, where dumpster diving meets linguistic finesse in a game that's as quirky as it is captivating. Ever wondered how a raccoon strikes up a conversation with a possum? Well, in this game, the answer lies in a wonderful pile of trash.

In Trash Talk, unconventional treasures plucked from dumpsters, gutters, and maybe even stolen from humans, all serve as the tools for mastering communication. It's a world where everyone wins or loses together, but no two games or groups will find victory in the same way.

The premise is simple yet intriguing. In the initial round, three-word cards are revealed. Each player or team secretly assigns objects included in the game box, to each of these words. Does a plastic plant embody the essence of "double," "dream," or "sharp"? That's for you to decide.

Once both sides have locked in their choices, the moment of truth arrives as the objects are revealed. Match all three, and you're on a roll—set those cards aside, add a fourth object, lay out new cards, and dive into another round. But beware, if your match eludes you, it's back to the drawing board with three new cards. Fail twice, and you’ve failed to communicate and have lost the game.

The goal of the game is to match all 10 items in the box to a collection of 10 words. Successfully navigate your way up the ladder, matching ten objects with ten cards, and bask in your victory.
