Stinky Business is a family game for two to five players of age 10 and up. The goal of the game is to build the most successful waste processing company, that will bring the highest income and the most victory points.

The players incorporate the roles of waste processing managers who will build recycling and incineration plants, as well as waste processing facilities in order to transform unwanted waste into profitable business.

The game lasts ten rounds, each divided into four phases. In the first littering phase players draw four waste cards each from the draw pile and choose exactly one of them to keep. Later on comes the investment phase in which players may purchase recycling and incineration plants as well as the waste processing facility and profitability tokens, that will be placed at the players boards. All those investments influence the recycling and incineration phase, which provides players with waste cards, that will be processed in the last phase in order to bring revenue.

After the last, 10th round the game finishes and the time comes for assessment of the players efforts. Victory points are awarded for proper investments and gained money. The players may also be punished with negative points for garbage cards and waste cards that they discarded during the game. After summing up the victory and negative points, the winner is determined.

Waste processing has never been this much fun!
