COMPONENTS

SETUP

1. Put the Dumpster in the center of the table.
2. Shuffle the deck of Dumpster Fire Party cards and put it face down near the Dumpster.
3. Each player chooses a set of matching charms and puts them in front of themselves.
4. Shuffle the Garbage Person Awards and deal one face-down to each player.
5. Do a quick VIBE CHECK

VIBE CHECK

Since this ls a storytelling game, It’s Important to maintain a balance between tragicomedy and just plain tragedy. Some topics may be triggering, so we suggest a VIBE CHECK before playing to establish boundaries and ensure everyone’s enjoyment. Respect the agreed-upon vibe and avoid excluded topics. If things become overwhelming, anyone can call for a Vibe Check to switch gears. Be considerate and avoid making the game another Dumpster Fire story!

OVERVIEW

Across three rounds you collectively choose a prompt card and tell real Dumpster Fire life stories related to It, sticking one of your charms onto the flame with each story.

At the end of each round, you vote for your favorite moment in a story by tossing the name of the storyteller into the flaming Dumpster.

Once you complete 3 rounds, give out any remaining Garbage Person Awards to the most deserving person! Go through the trash in the Dumpster to count votes, and crown someone biggest Dumpster Fire.

HOW TO PLAY

Flip two Trash cards face-up and collectively decide which one to use for the round. You can vote or make a choice together, or if a card doesn’t fit the vibe, discard and replace it. Place the unused card at the bottom of the deck.

If you have a related story, move one trash charm forward to show you have one to share. You can do this anytime during the round, even if others have already started sharing stories.

If you don’t have a story for that topic, that’s OK, you can Just listen for that round!
The player who slid a charm forward first can start their story or select another player to begin.

You have four charms for the game and can share one story per round. However, if you have an exceptional extra story, you can use your fourth charm to tell a second story in a round, once per game.

After everyone shares their stories, vote for your favorite highlight by secretly writing the storyteller’s name and their highlight on the paper, crumpling it up, and throwing it in the Dumpster. Note: You’re voting for your favorite moment or story, not the best storyteller. You can’t vote for yourself, so if not enough stories are told, you may only have one choice.

After voting, start a new round by flipping two Trash cards and selecting a new one.
Repeat this process until you’ve played three prompt cards in total.

Garbage Person Awards are distributed at the game’s start and can be given out at any time during play, so remember to keep them in mind.

To award someone, place the Garbage Person Award face•up in front of the chosen player. Don’t draw a replacement after giving the award.

After the third round, distribute another Garbage Person Award card to each player. Proceed around the table, giving out both the newly dealt awards and any remaining from the beginning of the game. Finally, tally the scores to determine the winner.
