The aim of the game is to be the first to fill your layout with face up cards from Ace to Ten in the correct positions as indicated. The remaining deck is stacked face down in the middle to form a stock pile. Players are not allowed to look at their cards. The cards are shuffled and each player is dealt a layout of 10 face down cards in two rows of 5 in front of them. For example 3 or 4 players can use 2 decks shuffled together, 5 or 6 players use 3 decks and so on.ĭuring the game Aces count as one, cards 2 to 10 have their face values, Jacks are wild, and Queens and Kings automatically end the player's turn. With more players, more decks can be added to avoid running out of cards. Players and CardsĢ players use a standard international 52 card deck. The aim is to be the first to complete a layout, initially of ten cards Ace to Ten, and although there are occasional decisions to be made it is essentially a game of pure luck. This American children's game for two or more players is also sometimes known as Garbage or Ten, but as both these names are also used for other card games, we call it here by its commonest name Trash.
