Recycling made fun

R-Eco is a card game where players try to recycle junk in it's proper facility but they have to be careful! Too much junk overloads the garbage trucks and cause players to illegally dump their trash.

This game is super simple to learn and is fun for a wide age range. At it's core, R-Eco is about matching and counting but there is some strategy involved as well. Whenever trash is sorted and properly disposed of, players gain victory point chips. The interesting twist is that the value of these chips changes with each load of recyclables. Players must find a delicate balance between taking trash and forcing opponents to take lower or negative point chips.

This is a definite beer and pretzels game. It's perfect for nights when you feel like playing something light but not completely random and goofy. It's also an excellent filler game for those occasions when your have just enough time to play something, but not enough time to dig out one of the bigger games.
