Spring Cleaning

Players manage a cluttered hand of cards and try to shed all cards before the neighbors do. On a turn, players offer some cards to the table (which opponents may draw or play), then play cards from their hand to organize and reduce it. Hand order cannot be rearranged, so offering cards becomes a tool to change the structure of the remaining hand. When one player empties their hand, all other players take penalty “trash” based on cards left; play continues until a threshold of trash is reached and the lowest total wins.
