A step-by-step guide to play the game

The players form an inner circle and an outer circle. There is 1 more player in the outer circle.

The players in the outer circle are garbage . They each receive a ticket with a piece of waste.
The players in the inner circle are waste containers . They each receive a card with the name of a waste container.

Start the music. The inner circle runs clockwise, the outer circle counterclockwise.

When the music stops, every piece of waste (outer circle) must be placed as quickly as possible at the right waste container (inner circle). Only 1 piece of waste may be placed in each waste container.

The last remaining player drops out.

The other players receive a new ticket and start a new round.
