P.S. If you game this, please post an AAR. Yeah, about three seconds after I posted this, I walked into the kitchen and said, "Duh … Troll Ball using dinosaur figures. And our monthly game day is Saturday, so I have the teams on the table … 1) 1 T-Rex 2) 5 'Raptors (DOM will take these for sure) 3) 8 Zombi Dinos (from Zombiesaurus Rex vs. Tricerenator) 4) ~25 or so Cavemen 5) 2 Giant Apes (I just got Gakura and Kondo from Monpoc) I think we have 10 people that break into 5 "teams" fairly easily along natural fault lines. But I also have, in reserve Entelodonts, four or five to a side Victorian Colonial Adventurers, French, British, German, and Boer … probably 10 to a side I'm thinking lush jungle terrain, a couple of tar pits, and maybe the odd random volcanic eruption … any other ideas? |

A suggestion: use an animal skull for the ball, as seen in The Blood of Heroes (aka Salute of the Jugger). A further suggestion: Sudden Death! – Each (dice) fumble rolled during play adds a 1% chance of an asteroid strike ending the game prematurely. Should this occur, whoever is in the lead at the time of the extinction event "wins". Ron |

If you have an eruption then you should also have a chasm open up (flaming lava optional) good as obstacle to pin or save a group. Also don't forget the quicksand. Remember nature is not your friend. Maybe a crocodile infested pond or river, if you don't have any minis for this just substitute piranhas and have a bubbling water marker for those poor soles who become fish food samples. |

Skull – I will see what we can … er … dig up. Asteroid – DOM had suggested this slightly different. Meteor at X distance. Draw a card each round, move the meteor the indicated number of units. Game over at cataclysm. With the Troll Ball rules, there are a lot of fumbles, which makes the game more about getting into a big mass and fighting it out (in several ways) rather than an elite passing game. Chasm – Check. Quicksand – Check. 'Gators – I have a "giant" crocodile that I wanted to work into the scenario. Perhaps I can throw some "croc appears and steals the ball cards in the deck". |
