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".

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".
