Board Game, Board Game Spotlight
In Trash Talk, you and your fellow raccoons are trying to communicate with one another through the medium that you know best: trash. In the first round of play, three word cards are revealed, and each player (or team) secretly assigns the same three objects to these three words.

If you successfully make your way up…
