Are you sad and blue? Do you need something to REALLY cheer you up? There's only ONE game that will help you! Can you guess what it is? That's right! R-eco! The most trashy game you can get! The game with punch-outs and cards! Factories and dump sites! And much, much more! You will feel like solid gold when you're done with this game, whether you won or lost! Want to know the BEST part about R-eco? It has trash in it!
Here is how you play. You can have 2-5 players. There should be four recycling plants. There should be plastic (red), paper (green), aluminum (yellow), and glass (blue). One side of the recycling plants is a dump site. The other side is a factory. Put the recycling plants in a row on the table. Now put the tokens (sorted in color) on the right card in this order, five on the bottom, then the four, then negative two, then three, then two, then one, then, last but not least, zero. There should be one card in each dump site. Each player starts out with three cards. When it's your turn, you put down one or more cards of the same color into the right factory. Next, take the trash from the other side of the card. 84
If a factory has four or more icons, the person who played there last takes the top token. If you have more than five cards in your hand, you have to dump illegally 'till you have 5 cards in your hand (or garbage truck). The game ends when one the piles of tokens runs out. The tokens you have should be sorted in color. If there are any colors for which you have only one, they should be removed and don't count toward your score. Add up your remaining tokens. Any illegal dumping will count -1, for each card, against you. Who ever DOESN'T have illegal dumping gets 2 points for every person who did illegally dump. Who ever has the most points, wins!
I like R-eco because, well, there's lots of reasons I like it. One of them is that it has trash in it. Another one is at the end of the game, you will get two points for every player who dumped illegally , but ONLY if you didn't dump illegally. I also like it because your hand is your garbage truck.
