Trash

The Game

This is a classic Trash card game for two players. One standard deck of 52 cards is used.

The objective of the game is to complete your layout of ten cards Ace through Ten (A,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)

For the first hand each player is dealt ten cards, face down. The top card from the deck is moved to the stack, face up.

The players take turns by drawing either the top card from the deck or the top card from the stock pile. If the card in the correct location is still face down, it is replaced by the drawn card and is being played next.

The move continues until the player gets a trash card (a Queen or a King), or if the appropriate card is already face up. Jacks are wild, so they can be place in any location.

The first player to complete their layout wins the hand, and starts the next hand, in which the winner get one card less.

The winner of the last hand, where only one card was played, wins the game.

Any time during the game tap the menu symbol at the top-right.
