Scavenging Fun with Your Kids in ‘Trash Pandas’ From Gamewright

Feb 19, 2018

A fun looking new family game is arriving later this year from Gamewright. In Trash Pandas, two to four players will push their luck as they lead their raccoons through a rollicking dumpster dive. The game is for ages 8+ and plays in around 20 minutes. No word yet on MSRP but I would guess somewhere in the 15-20 dollar range when Trash Pandas arrives in Q3 2018.

From Gamewright:

In Trash Pandas, players are raucous raccoons, tipping over trash cans for food (and shiny objects). Players push their luck to acquire more cards, but must stash them in order for them to count as points at the end of the game. When the deck runs out, the game ends and players compare their stashes to see who has the majority for each card type and score points accordingly. The player with the most points wins!

In more detail, on a turn the active player rolls a die in the hope of gaining the benefit of the roll result. With each roll, the player decides to keep rolling or stop and activate the dice results. However, with each additional roll, the odds of busting (getting a duplicate result) increase further and the player risks losing the progress they’ve made that round. When activating the dice results, the player will draw cards, steal cards from other players, and stash cards. Cards in hand may be used for their listed ability, but they count as points only when stashed.
