Garbage Gobblers
When night falls over the city and people turn off their lights, another battle is just beginning.
Rats, cats, dogs, and all kinds of hungry street animals emerge from the shadows and dive into the dumpsters in search of the ultimate treasure: the most delicious piece of garbage in the neighborhood!
In Garbage Gobblers, players lead their own gang of hungry animals and compete for pizzas, cans, apples, beers, and all kinds of treasures left behind by humans.
Through clever planning, bluffing, perfect timing, and spectacular dumpster raids, you’ll fight to create the most impressive feast and outsmart your opponents.
A hilarious and highly interactive game for the whole family, packed with surprises, rivalries, and… garbage worth its weight in gold!
How to Play
In each round, players choose one of three actions:
Garbage – Draw two Garbage cards and secretly place them in the dumpsters, increasing the available loot.
Gobblers – Reveal new animals, then choose one to add to your gang.
Raid – Launch a bid for a dumpster by secretly playing your animals. The other players must decide whether to join the Raid or withdraw. Once the Raid ends, all Gobblers are revealed, and the strongest combination wins the dumpster.
Each type of animal has different abilities when consuming the garbage it has won, while special characters can completely change the outcome of a Raid at the last moment.
When the Garbage deck runs out, the final phase of the game begins. Players carry out their final Raids, complete collections and recipes, and then count their points.
The winner is the player who manages to organize the biggest and most rewarding feast!
