h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Thank you so much for this simple and fast paced game. It is a real ice-breaker and I get to be Queen of the Hill when I produce a handful of plastic dinosaurs and a roll of nickles (my currency of choice...too big in size and too small in denomination, nickels are an abomination.) Watching grown people argue over who gets to be the T-Rex is a joy in itself...

I'm really pleased to hear that someone else gets fun out of this. An alternative to the game is to lay markers (stones, rags, shells etc.)on the lawn/beach/playground and have six competitors moving forward in the same way as the pieces.
You could even organise it for peoplein pairs with one giving the other a Piggy Back if there is a significant crowd. As there is no real skill involved it is just a bit of fun!
