Number of Players

2 to 6 players.

Goal of the Game

Recover all the waste on the beach before the sea covers it. To do this, you must find which waste token hides each sea animal (blue shell, red crab, yellow starfish and green sea turtle).

Setup

1. Assemble the 3 small cardboard bins as shown in the sheet's numbered assembly diagram.
2. Stick the round stickers onto the 6 faces of the die.

Basic Rule

Game Start

1. Set up the "Dune" plate with the 1-bin side visible, on the left of the table. Then place the matching cardboard bin on its reserved space. To the right of the "Dune" plate, place the 4 "Animals" strips against one another, in any order and any orientation. After these strips, place the 4 "Beach" strips with the sand side visible, then place the "Seafront" strip. Finally, add the "Sea" plate to complete the game board.
2. Place the 16 "Waste" tokens at random on the 16 sea animals, taking care to cover the animals completely.
3. Keep the die within reach. The game can begin!

Gameplay

The player who most recently went to the beach starts the game and rolls the die.

If the die lands on an animal face.

The player picks up a waste token under which they think the animal shown on the die is hidden.

• If the matching animal is found: well done! The player takes the waste token and throws it into the bin placed on the dune.
• If the animal revealed does not match the one shown: too bad! The player puts the waste token back in its place.

NB: Each animal is represented once per strip. If all the animals of one species have been found and the die shows one of them, nothing happens and the die passes to the next player.

If the die lands on the "bin" face. This is a lucky break!

The player who rolled the die may pick up any waste token and throw it straight into the bin.

If the die lands on the "wave" face. Watch out, the sea rises!

The player inserts the last "Beach" strip, sand side up, between the "Seafront" strip and the "Sea" plate (A). They then turn the "Beach" strip over, blue side up (B).

The turn then passes to the next player, clockwise, who rolls the die. And so on, clockwise.

End of the Game

1. All the waste has been picked up from the beach before the sea reaches the dune: the players win the game together.
2. The sea has reached the dune and the waste ends up in the water: the players have unfortunately all lost the game, because the sea is polluted.

Advanced Rule

The "Dune" plate has two sides: one with a single "bin" space, the other with three "sorting bins" spaces. Choose the side with 3 spaces for the advanced rule. This option raises the difficulty and the educational value of the game.

Setup and play are exactly the same as for the basic rule. Simply take care to put the waste into the correct sorting bin whenever the case arises.

NB: Careful! Do not look at the pictograms on the back of the waste tokens, or the game would be spoiled!

Sorting Bins

This bin collects all household waste that is not sorted because it is not recyclable. Food waste may be thrown in, as well as non-recyclable packaging (polystyrene trays, plastic bags, dirty food packaging, etc.).

This bin is made for glass waste: bottles, jars, and jars without stoppers or lids. Take care not to put non-recyclable glass in it, such as drinking glasses, window glass, or mirrors.

This is the bin for recyclable waste, other than glass, where you dispose of household packaging, paper, newspapers, plastic bottles, food cartons, cans, household and toiletry bottles, food tins, etc.

End of the Game

1. All the waste has been picked up from the beach before the sea reaches the dune: the players check the backs of the "waste" tokens to verify that they have sorted them correctly.
   • If there is no error, they win the game together.
   • If there is an error in sorting, the players lose the game together.
2. The sea has reached the dune and the waste ends up in the water: the players have unfortunately all lost the game, because the sea is polluted.
