Gamewright - Trash Pandas - The Raucous Raccoon Push-Your-Luck Card Game, Ages 8+, 2-4 Players

LOVE THIS GAME!! It’s fun and easy to learn.

This game was a delightful surprise! I picked one up for myself after forgetting our board games at home on a camping trip. I liked it so much a few weeks later I gave a copy away as a gift. I've been impressed by how simple and quick it is to play. It reminds me of the fun, fast-paced gameplay of Sushi Go!, but with a slightly easier learning curve.There's definitely a luck factor involved, but there's still room for strategic thinking. More skilled players will tend to win more often, although there's always an element of chance that can keep things interesting.The beauty of this game is its portability and setup. You can teach it in just 5 minutes, all it takes is a shuffle to get started. Even a 10-year-old (who play games regularly) picked it up in no time, and manages to win about 20% of the games we play! I also think the price is just right.

This is a great game of risk management, balancing benefits with costs of various options, and planning ahead. All packaged into a very funny game about raccoons stealing from trash and stashing the spoils.I'm an avid board game player and I usually lean toward more complex games, but it's hard to get family and many friends to play something that takes a while to explain and learn. So I'm delighted when I find a game that's fun to play with family instead of boring for me. Trash Pandas is genuinely fun, giving a great set of mechanics that's pretty easy to quickly explain and start playing. There is some randomness involved in winning (cards you draw and how well pushing your luck serves you), but I like how much my strategy matters. When the game ends, your cards in hand do nothing for you; it's all about the cards you stashed, what you chose to play instead of stash away, and how well you gauged what other players were stashing.It's a great game for friends or family, and I recommend it.

Looks like a fun game for kids and adults. It is for 2-4 players, ages 8 and up. I bought it as a gift. I don't know if it is complicated or not, but it looked appealing and out of all the other games on here I looked at, I chose this one. I think with games you have to be one to want to learn and play them (I don't) and/or know who you will be playing with- are they patient, receptive to learning, etc.I bought it as part of a gift for a family with 4 kids of various ages. I bought a few games and this was one of them. I didn't want to spend more than $10 per game, and this fit the bill. Seeing the topical use of "trash pands" and "doggo" make me laugh, so I thought the older kids would like it too. Who knows how relevant it will be in a few years. I do not know if they ever played it or if it is collecting dust somewhere. I thought a couple of the older ones would like the name of the game. I am not into buying toys for kids, usually it is books, games, or project/activities. They seemed to be curious about it and had mentioned that they were getting into playing games like this, so hopefully they have enjoyed it.I give it a 4 for simply being intriguing looking, sounding fun, well packaged, attractive, current, and seemingly quality game. I figure anything like this is a chance

Interesting little game, easy enough to understand the rules. Csme quickly and undamaged

Got this for a do nothing family vacation and we played almost every day. High quality pieces, easy to understand once you play a round or two. Not a lot of strategy, but also not all chance. Portable and nice design.

If you like games where your risky decisions can make or break the turn this is very fun. Easy concept, pictures are cute and very understandable. My 18 and 20 year old like the game, my niece and nephew both under 10 have fun playing. I was introduced to this game by my 48 yr old major gamer (board games and role playing) and just he and I played at first. I honestly loved this so much I bought to have my own. Great for all ages in my opinion. We are not big game players here and do not want to spend tons of time setting up and playing and cleaning up pieces. Great game to take on vacation for some down time too.

Really, really fun! Quick to learn but engaging to master. A push-your-luck type game when it comes to rolling the die, and also has the element of chance with what cards you draw. However, there are a number of actions you can take as well as when and how to take them, which is a good mix of strategy and chance. Fast paced once you play a few times; a game can be as quick as 10 minutes! Easy enough for kids as young as 8 to learn, but still entertaining for adults. Best with 3-4 players, but can still be fun with just 2 people. Already gave away and bought my 3rd copy because most of my friends whom I show this to want this game!
