Junk Drawer

Chinese Version (收纳小垃圾)

A 1 to 4 player tile-laying game about organizing junk drawers.

Game Overview

In Junk Drawer, you’ve just got … stuff. You need to organize it! However, just organizing it one way probably won’t solve your problems, so why not try four ways of organizing? Break your drawer into quadrants and organize them by scoring those quadrants four different ways! Exciting times. Everyone starts with the same junk, so may the best organizer win! Will it be you?

Players organize their junk drawer by carefully arranging various shaped items within the four sections. Each section has a unique organizational goal and each round, players must place one item in each section. At the end of the game, each section earns points based on how well they are organized. The player with the highest score wins.

Gameplay

A game of Junk Drawer is all about organization! Over the course of several turns, you’ll add items to the drawer and try to score points via various goals. At the end of the game, the player with the most points wins!

A round is made up of four turns. On a given turn, reveal the leftmost unrevealed Item Card. All players must add that item to one of the four quadrants of their board, with one caveat: they must add the item to a location that they have not added an item to this round. Note that items cannot cover each other or extend outside of the bounds of the quadrant.

Once all four cards have been revealed, discard them and place four new cards face-down in the center of the play area; a new round starts!
