Sort rubbish, rescue birds, and rebuild your card collection one banana peel at a time in this oddly wholesome garbage-collecting sim.

Polden Publishing and indie devs Dos Ivánes are here to answer a question no one asked but everyone wants to play: What if you bought a landfill just to get your trading cards back? That’s exactly what you’ll be doing in My Wife Threw Out My Card Collection (So I Bought a Dump to Find Them All), which is out now on Steam.

And if you’re quick, it’s 40% off for launch—just $4.77 for the first two weeks.

Dumpster Diving Has Never Been So Chill

The premise is simple: your wife tossed out your beloved trading card hoard. So you did what any logical adult would do—you bought a literal dump. Now it’s time to dig through the rubbish to get your cards back, one grubby bag at a time.

But this isn’t your average trash heap. Alongside those sweet rare pulls, you’ll be rescuing birds (yes, actual birds), building them cosy nests, and turning a pile of junk into a sanctuary of serenity. No battles, no stress—just some very satisfying digital cleaning and collecting.

Steam Version Available Now

My Wife Threw Out My Card Collection (So I Bought a Dump to Find Them All) is available now on Steam. It’s weird, it’s warm, and it’s probably more relatable than it should be.
