You get points based on having the majority of a card type in your stash pile. The game ends when the draw deck runs out of cards. Remove the “Token Actions” card and place it within easy view then shuffle the deck and deal cards clockwise, starting with whoever most recently took out the trash. The first player is dealt 3 cards. Then 4 cards to the next, then 5, then 6. Players look at their own cards but keep them hidden from others. Place the remainder of the deck facedown in the middle as a draw deck, which is called the “trash can”. Arrange the 6 tokens in a row, next to the die, near the middle of the table. The player with the fewest cards in their hand goes first, then play proceeds clockwise. On your turn, roll the die and take the token that matches it from the middle, then decide to either stop or continue. If you continue, then roll the die again and take another token that matches. If there is no token in the middle that matches your roll, then you bust and must put all the tokens you collect back in the middle and you draw 1 card from the trash can then end your turn and the next player goes. If you manage to collect all 6 tokens without busting, then you will receive a bonus turn after you finish your current turn; however during this bonus turn you may not collect more than 3 tokens. Once you choose to stop rolling, or if you collect all 6 tokens, then you must now resolve all your collected tokens, in any order you choose, placing them back into the middle as they are resolved. The token actions are: • Double trash can: draw up to 2 cards from the top of the trash can. • Double Tree: stash up to two cards from your hand. Stashed cards are set to your side, facedown, until the end of the game. You are allowed to look at your own stashed cards at any time, but you may not look at another player’s. There is no limit to the number of cards you can have in your hand or in your stash pile. • Trash Tree: either draw 1 card from the top of the trash can or stash 1 card. • Steal: take 1 card at random from another player’s hand. You may not take a card from a player’s stash pile. • Mask: reveal the top card of the deck and add it to your hand. Now, every other player may stash 1 card from their hand that matches the revealed card, if they want. If they do, they must stash that card faceup, instead of facedown. Then for each card stashed in this way, you get to draw 1 card from the top of the trash can. • Recycle: exchange this token for a token that was not previously taken. If you had collected all 6 tokens, then recycle does nothing. The only way to stash cards is through a token action, all un-stashed cards remain in your hand. Each card has the name at the top. Below that, in parentheses, is its total quantity in the deck. In the top left is how many points that card type is worth for the players who have the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd majority in their stash pile at the end of the game. At the bottom is a special action you can perform anytime on your turn or as indicated. To activate a card, discard it faceup to the discard pile and follow the instructions on the card. If you need help understanding what a card does, refer to the back of the rulebook for more details. Once you start resolving tokens, you may not use any actions from cards you gained during your turn, however you may stash cards the same turn you gained them. Once the last card in the trash can has been drawn, then the current player finishes their turn and the game ends. If you have a bonus turn when the deck runs out of cards, you still get to play that bonus turn. Then, all players discard all their remaining cards in their hands then they reveal all their stashed cards and sort them by type. Add up your total number of cards per type and all the players compare. Score points based on who stashed the most for each type. If there is a tie, then the tied players score 1 point less than indicated for the position they tied. For example, if tied for first with Feesh, then all the tied players would score 4 points instead of 5. In this example, the next player would score 3 points for the next position down. Each player scores 1 point for each blammo card stashed, regardless of the majority. Players add up their scores and the player with the most points wins. If it is a tie, then the play who stashed the most cards wins.

About Trash Pandas, from BoardGameGeek:

In Trash Pandas, players are raucous raccoons, tipping over trash cans for food (and shiny objects). Players push their luck to acquire more cards, but must stash them in order for them to count as points at the end of the game. When the deck runs out, the game ends and players compare their stashes to see who has the majority for each card type and score points accordingly. The player with the most points wins! In more detail, on a turn the active player rolls a die in the hope of gaining the benefit of the roll result. With each roll, the player decides to keep rolling or stop and activate the dice results. However, with each additional roll, the odds of busting (getting a duplicate result) increase further and the player risks losing the progress they've made that round. When activating the dice results, the player will draw cards, steal cards from other players, and stash cards. Cards in hand may be used for their listed ability, but they count as points only when stashed. -description from the publisher
