It takes both a keen eye and a bit of luck to make it in the world of junk. Players scrape and collect the best junk on their way to becoming the most profitable junkyard! The game is played in rounds. Each round represents a month of time in which the players collect the most valuable cards they can from the deck or the discard pile, trying to avoid accidentally trashing their valuables in the process. As each round ends, the total value of the collected cards are added to each player's score. The first player to reach $10,000 is declared the Junkyard King!
