Possums in a Trench Coat

Players share control of a single “human” body as a team of possums skulks through a mall to collect different kinds of trash for hungry joeys. On each turn players secretly bid limited hiss tokens to influence the human’s one-space movement, then resolve the chosen direction and gather items from locations. Individual joeys prefer specific trash types, so players must balance cooperation and competition while bargaining, forming temporary agreements, and betraying others to maximize their own score. The game ends after a set number of rounds and the player whose joeys have the most preferred trash wins.
