How to Play Trash Dice

Trash Dice Rules

2 players · Ages 6+ · 10 to 20 minutes · 40 dice, trash can, game board lid

Objective

Be the last player left with any dice.

Setup

Each player takes 20 dice of one color (yellow or green). Roll one die each, and the highest roll goes first.

Your turn

Roll one die and place it on the matching number space (1 to 6) inside the trash can lid.

Duplicates

If that number is already filled, your die goes in the trash can and is out of play.

Completing a set

The player who places the final die in the 1 to 6 set wins all six dice and adds them to their pile. Then a new set begins.

Dice color

Once you've won a set, you can use any dice color from your winnings.

Winning

The game ends when only one player has dice left. That player wins.
