Those who are struggling with the rules, do not worry, I can explain EXACTLY when to play what card. (Also sorry for responding a year late). So, for simplicity, I have decided to create these 4 categories to help knowing when to play: While Rolling the die, After Rolling the die before Token Resolution, While Resolving Tokens, and Not on your own Turn.
Before I start listing the cards in the correct categories: The instructions say that once you start resolving tokens, you may not use any cards gained during that turn, so that means that you CAN play cards THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE in your hand like if, for example, you already have MMM Pie!, you could play that while resolving tokens.
Anyway, without further ado, I present to you the categories:

While Rolling the die:
-Feesh
-Blammo
-Nanners

After Rolling the die before Token Resolution:
-Shiny

While Resolving Tokens:
-MMM Pie!

Not on your own Turn:
-Yum Yum
-Doggo
-Kitteh

To help explain why each of these cards go into these categories, you may read the following statements:

1.) THE VERY FIRST THING YOU DO ON YOUR TURN IS YOU ROLL THE DIE, so that means, you can't play your cards yet.
2.)While rolling the die and you bust, well Blammo and Nanners would be there to help you and, as for Feesh, Feesh can be played while rolling the die as in the card guide section of the instructions booklet, the Feesh section says this: ''Use a Feesh card to look through the discard pile and fish (take) any one card'' The next bit is important: ''If possible, you may use that new card on this same turn i.e. -you may take a Blammo! or Nanners to prevent a bust.'' Logically, if you can't play Feesh at the start of your turn, and you could potentially use the card that you retrieve to save yourself from a bust or slightly later on your turn, then you could only really play Feesh while rolling the die.
3.) After you finish rolling the die, you may then begin resolving tokens, or you could play Shiny, as once you begin resolving the tokens, you may potentially be stashing or collecting new cards, so to avoid any confusion and to make it simple, play Shiny before you start resolving tokens.
4.) MMM Pie! is used for resolving a token twice, so it could be used when resolving tokens.
5.) Yum Yum, Doggo and Kitteh are supposed to be played on another players turn, and not your own. Guess why it is in the last category :)

Again, apologies for sending this so late.

I would love an expansion with different cards for this game to make it longer and more diverse. Fun game!

[lbammon]

I could have used more info on how/when to play the cards. You covered blammo, which I get, but there's not a very clear delineation in the rules for when to play cards in the roll-resolve-turn ends scenario.

Trash Pandas is a fantastic & fun family game. It was included in our March 2020 Together Unplugged family subscription box, and we only pick the BEST! 🏆

Just got this game. Played a couple of rounds. Probably would not have been able to, but for this video.

Nice video. Very clear explanation

2 questions: 1) Do you have to resolve the Recycle token first, or can you resolve another token then use the Recycle token to replay if? 2) When resolving the Raccoon Eyes token, do you only draw one card per card your opponents stash face up during that round or draw one per stash card of every opponent?

So much fun! I played with my family,
This game is not inappropriate but still funny that adults enjoy it to!
My dad plays magic and he says this is a super fun magic—like game to play with kids! SUPER fun

[Lucasmash]

Must the player use all the tokens he got rolling the die?

[disheartenedsoul]

If you roll the recycle token and swap it for another token, what happens if you roll recycle a second time on your turn?Do you go bust or do you swap with another token again?

[josiahjohnson]

Great video, but I noticed one discrepancy. I'm not sure if they changed the rules since this video was taped, but my copy of the game and the rules from their site both list this amount of starting cards:
Player 1 = 2 cards, Player 2 = 3 cards,
Player 3 = 4 cards, and Player 4 = 5 cards

[cooky]

Can you immediately play a card that you recovered from the discard pile using a feesh?

And can every card be used at any time?

[as]

When resolving the tree token is stashing required or can you choose not to stash??

I own every gamewright game. I like how your company takes a game of the past and reworks it. For instance frog juices and old card game called casino and this is an old card game called don't push your luck. I hope gamewright, gets inspired by Dominion the board game and create their own deck building game. The first game right game I bought was in the late 90s. As far as board game companies go if it has the gamewright logo you know it's a good game.

[shaimute]

Where do you put the cards used after you can't roll anymore? Can you stash them or no? (We think not but)Where do they go?

[RainRain]

Not only are the rules of this game not explained well in the rule sheet, try buying this game brand new all sealed in the box like I did and it has one token missing. I was thinking who the heck is putting this game together? I hate this game and took it back.

This is the most complicated card game on the planet. Not sure what drugs the creators were taking. Do yourself a favor and make your own uncomplicated rules or just buy something else.

You might not know that chocolate is toxic to raccoons, you should have used something else.
