My Wife Threw Out My Card Collection (So I Bought a Dump to Find Them All) ⭐

After losing his card collection to the trash, you take on a dump full of junk and search its piles for the cards. The game is played from a first-person perspective, with litter to pick up and cards to recover and clean.

Fill garbage bags as you work, then sell collected valuables for money. Stamina limits how long you can dig before you need to restore your energy with beer, and upgrades improve your carrying capacity and other character stats.

Move through successive trash piles, rescue birds and give them nests, and enlist a dog to help locate valuables. A cart provides another way to handle items as you clear the dump and build your collection.

Players who enjoy the game often describe clearing the dump as relaxing and satisfying, and appreciate the absurd premise, humorous finds, and collecting cards and birds. Some find the simple cleanup loop appealing for short or background play, while others say the same tasks and repeated trash piles become tedious, with upgrades offering little to work toward later on. Recurring complaints include bugs affecting items, the cart, or saves; cards players say they cannot find and a lack of a clear ending; and frustration from energy limits. Some reviewers also object to reported AI-made music and concerns about its disclosure.
