Overview

What ABG knows about this game

LIXO? Garbage? All societies are trying to implement better garbage management and trying to ensure the garbage is re-used. The most basic example of this is the domestic Garbage system: to separate plastics into the yellow container, paper / carton to the blue one, glass to the green one, batteries to the red one, and organic and others to the grey one (note: in some countries, this can be different) This is a cardgame about the domestic garbage and the respective colours. There are 2 kinds of cards: CONTAINER cards and GARBAGE cards, each in the possible 5 colours referred above. Players will have in their hand GARBAGE cards, in whatever colours (some have 2 different colours). GARBAGE cards worth negative points, so players will try to recycle them, that is, to get rid of them. As to the CONTAINER cards, these worth positive points (from 1 to 5, in each colour), and are placed in the center of the table. These are drawn one at a time. For each CONTAINER card, players can bet any number of cards of the correspondent colour from their hand. Whenever all players pass, the highest bet wins that CONTAINER card (place it next to him, worthing points) and discards the GARBAGE cards that he has bet, meaning those were recycled. All the other bets loose, meaning the GARBAGE cards will be placed next to each loosing player, and these worth -1 point per card at the end of the game. This is a betting and bluffing cardgame, for 2 to 6 players, 20 min. It is highly amusing and, as any game where bluff is important, it requires some strategic skills.
