How to Play
Each player begins with 20 dice of the same color. Roll to determine who goes first; the highest roll starts.
The first player rolls one die and places it in the matching number space inside the dumpster lid. The goal is to fill the 1-6 number spaces.
The second player to the left rolls one die and places it in one of the remaining matching number spaces inside the dumpster lid, aiming to fill the 1-6 number spaces.
Duplicate numbers: If a player rolls a number that has already been filled, that die goes into the dumpster and is out of play.
Players continue taking turns until one player completes the 1-6 set. The player who places the final die wins all six dice and adds them to their remaining dice. Once a set is completed and added to a player's dice, a new set can begin.
Dice color: Once a player wins a set, they can use any dice color from the winning set(s).
The game ends when only one player has dice remaining. That player is the winner!
More Ways to Play
Set Up
All games start with each player having 20 dice of the same color. Roll to see who goes first. The highest roll starts.
Dice are placed in their matching number slots.
Winning
All games end when only one player has dice left.
Tidy Trash
The first player rolls a die. If they roll a 1, place it in the 1 spot on the lid. If not, the die goes in the dumpster.
The next player rolls a die. They must place their die in the next sequential number spot (e.g., if the 1 spot is filled, roll a 2 for the 2 spot). Otherwise, the die goes in the dumpster.
Players take turns rolling dice, trying to fill the 1-6 number spaces in order.
The player who places the number 6 die to complete the 1-6 set takes all six dice and adds them to their remaining dice. Once a set is completed, a new set can begin.
If a 1-6 set is never completed, the player with the most dice on the lid wins. If tied, the victory is shared.
Dump & Dash
All players roll their dice at the same time.
Players quickly place their dice in an open slot on the dumpster lid, aiming to be the fastest.
Duplicate Rolls: If a player rolls a number that is already filled, the die goes in the dumpster.
Play continues rapidly until all 1-6 number spaces are filled.
The player who places the final die to complete the 1-6 set takes all six dice. Once a set is completed, a new set can begin.
Note: If a player is caught waiting to place the final die in order to win the set, they receive a five dice penalty.
Bin Battle
6 player game: Requires both Trash and Dumpster Dice.
Players take turns rolling a die and placing it in the corresponding number slot on the trash can lid or dumpster lid. The objective is to fill all twelve slots (1-6) on both lids.
Duplicate Rolls: If a player rolls a number that is already filled on both lids, the die goes in the dumpster or trash can.
The player who places the final die to complete the second 1-6 set takes all twelve dice from both completed sets. Once a set is completed, a new set can begin.
If all 12 slots are never completed, the player with the most dice on the lids wins. If tied, the victory is shared.
Waste War
All players roll their dice at the same time.
The highest die rolled gets placed in the corresponding slot on the dumpster lid. The remaining players' dice go in the dumpster.
If the highest roll is tied between players, it's a mad dash to place the die in the lid.
If the highest number rolled cannot be placed because the slot is already filled, the die goes into the dumpster, and the next highest dice get placed.
The player who places the final die to complete the 1-6 set takes all six dice.
Once a set is completed, a new set can begin.
