Board games are one of my very favorite things- so are time lapse videos. Astro trash is a game from USAopoly and the point of the game is to try to make your planet clean but cleaning trash off your planet, putting it onto the sun, or giving your trash to your neighboring planet so they can deal with it. Now, while this doesn't sound very environmentally friendly OR ethical it makes for a very fun board game! Each person starts with ten pieces of trash and then the fun begins. There are three dice one that has a number 1,2 or 3 on it, one that has a color on it that matches the trash colors, and one that has a L for left an R for right, a picture of the sun for placing it in the middle, and a ? which means the piece of trash can be given to any one that the player chooses. Th first person to clean their planet is the winner of that round and the game is played until one player has earned 3 first place finishes. This game says ages 6+ and I would tend to agree with that. My youngest is 6 and we had to start every game reminding him which hand is his left and which is his right. This is a GREAT game for learning that! The game can be played with 2-5 players and take about 15-30 minutes to finish a full game but can easily be made into a game where after one round the game is over. The pieces are super fun shapes and sizes. All four of my kids ages 6, 9, 10, and 13 thought it was fun and I enjoyed playing it with them.
Thank you Tryazon and USAopoly for giving us this game to try out with our family and friends.
