The Game of DUMP

Last year when my mother was visiting, we hit up the 100 yen stores to see what "novelty" items she could bring back. Of course this means looking for innocent, but offensive "Engrish" items, and other useless items. Kudos to mom for finding a "Dump Set". I looked for my own after she left but couldn't find one. I came across this one the other day while at the 100 yen store in Zushi.

The name of this card game is obviously funny, but I think it's the directions in English that provide the most entertainment.

How to play dumps (over 5 years old)

1. There should be more than 2 people.

2. Each person put one pasteboard dump on the ground (floor)

3. Decide the order by rock, paper, scissors. (This seems to be how everything is decided here)

4. Strongly put down the pasteboard dump you've put on the ground. If the wind you've made by that action turn someone else's pasteboard dump over, you can get it.

5. If you get other's dump, you can continue to attack. (my personal favorite line)

6. If you fail getting other's dump, you just leave your pasteboard dump on the ground, and other person get to attack.

Warning

*Play dumps where it's safe outdoor.

*When you're indoor, play dumps in some broad places looking out for people or obstacles near you.

*When children play dumps, make sure let them play near adults. (no thanks, please dump elsewhere)

So, have you strongly put down a pasteboard dump yet?

Hi,
We've just been sent some of these by some friends and wondered , how on earth you actually get a game going? ....
We're thinking a hair drier might help turn some of the cards/dumps over!
sincerely,
an English family, in England :)
