This is an iteration of the game, 'Jenga' by Milton Bradley, that is played between you and your flatmates (that are most probably all males) at times when there is a disagreement over who should do rubbish duty (taking out the trash, cleaning and relining the bin).

This..

Plus this..


Equals Rubbish Jenga.

Rubbish Jenga is inspired from the curious phenomena that occurs when a house full of flatmates encounter a full rubbish bin, and rather than doing everyone else a favour by emptying it out, instead choose to overstuff the bin by continuing to carefully balance another piece of trash top of the pile, like a pastry chef placing the bride & groom figurine on top of a wedding cake. This stems from the 'It's-not-full-until-something-falls-to-the-floor' rule, and results in an indoor, dome-shaped petri dish.

With the above serving as a prerequisite, Rubbish Jenga is called in to decide fair and square the person who suffers the penalty game.

The last person to use the rubbish bin starts of every game. The rule is that each player using only one hand (wearing no gloves, tongs, or any other protective gear) removes a piece of rubbish from the bottom (close to the lip of the bin), and places it at the very top of the pile. After the move has been made, 2 seconds must elapse before their turn ends, and the next turn begins.

Once a player touches a piece, the commitment-rule means the player must use that piece - no switching or replacing the piece to choose another. At this point, the player for the duration of their turn is not allowed to touch any other rubbish, or any part of the bin itself.

At no time are other players allowed to physically force another player into making an error. Doing so forfeits you the game. At any time, for health concerns or sympathy, a player is allowed to concede defeat.

The loser of the game is the player who, during their turn, has a piece of rubbish fall and hit the floor. The purpose of the game obviously is to avoid being this unlucky person.

Hard-core Level:

Any player who can balance a chosen piece of rubbish on their forehead for 10 seconds without it falling off is removed from the game, and considered exempt from penalty. The piece of rubbish used must by organic (i.e. Food).

Rubbish Jenga can be played with any number of people - including one person, if you really are that opposed to rubbish duty.

Platform: The kitchen floor.
Target Audience: Young adults flatmate, with a large sense of humour, and little regard for hygiene.
