In Dumpster Divers players will choose between a wide variety of critter families (raccoons, bears, pigeons, bin chickens, skunks, household pets, and perhaps a mysterious bigfoot) that are ripping open a trash bag, and competing with all the other families over the various rubbish scraps that come out of that bin. Each family will score points depending how full they are and how their dietary needs (public and private objectives) were provided for. Players will use a sort of I split you choose, bidding system to try and get as many scraps as their greedy paws can get away with. On their turn players will grab some of what is available to all players trying to get away with all their coveted loot. Then each other player must decide if to further split the grabbed scraps or pass them by and focus on the remaining scraps still in the bin. Stay near the bin longer and you might get more food, but your family will have to settle for the dregs, but beware your family is hungry, they will not say no to any food even if it is against what the doctor prescribed. —description from the designer
