Cry Havoc and let slip the Junk-Yard Dogs of War! The Card Game of Medieval Junk-Yard Combat! What goes on in the junkyards when nobody is around? After the metal crushers shut down and the land movers roll back into their hangars, after the underpaid employees clock out and call it a night, that’s when the knights arrive,dressed in shimmering armor, impassioned with chivalry and taster for war. It is in the junkyards where these warriors find the tools for battle. And in the landfills, legends are born. Trash War is a humorous game that pits players against each other in junk yard combat. Each player takes on the role of a medieval knight in a modern junk yard. Players fling trash at each other, everything from broken microwave ovens to mutant albino alligators. Players set up their ramparts by placing "Wall Cards" on the table before them. A player starts the battle by attacking any opponent's walls. The attacked player then retaliates by attacking any player's walls. Trash War isn't played in standard turn order. Players attack and retaliate against opponents of their choice. In the end, the player with the last wall standing wins.
