How Garbage is played here

The rules this table deals by. Everybody at the table sees the same lines before the first hand.

  • One deck for two players, two for three or four. Ten cards each, face down, in two rows of five.
  • Draw the stock or the top of the pile. A card that fits its slot goes in, you pick up the card it replaced, and you keep going for as long as they fit.
  • The first to fill every slot wins the round and plays the next one a card shorter. Win a round with a single card and you have won the game.

How it works

  1. Open a table. It gets a short code of its own.
  2. Read the code out, or send the link. Anyone you send it to sits down as a guest, without an account.
  3. Deal once everyone is seated — or give each empty chair a bot and start now.

Questions about playing Garbage online

How many can play Garbage online here?
2 to 4 at one table. A bot can take any seat nobody fills, so a game never has to wait for somebody to turn up.

Only to open a table. Joining one never needs an account — anyone you send the code to sits down as a guest.
Does Garbage work on a phone?
Yes. It runs in the browser on a phone, a tablet or a computer, and there is nothing to install.
