Bluey: Rubbish Run Game

Bin night, rendered as a race.

Built around the Bin Night episode, in which Bluey and Bandit take the rubbish out and turn it into a production. The box contains a rubbish truck with a spinning barrel and a button that tips the load, four bin boards — Bluey, Mackenzie, Chloe and Muffin — and thirty rubbish tokens. The truck is the reason this one gets picked up off the shelf: it does the thing, loudly.

Players pick a character, move the truck around the neighbourhood, spin to collect rubbish and race to empty their bin first. The back of the truck pops open at random and spills the lot, which is either the best or worst part of the game depending on whose turn it was. Simple enough for a preschooler and mercifully short.

Perfect for: the household where bin night is already a whole event and nobody has questioned why.
