Cosmic Pigs

I am glad that people are in line with Pass the Pigs, (I think I have explained the game three times in the last two weeks alone) but I have rediscovered another dice game of greed and chance from my high school daze. This one a bit less innocent than those charming pigs. Cosmic Wimpout is the name of the game. As that name may suggest, it was a game made up by smelly hippies (in the backwoods of the Pacific Northwest) and then followed as closely as the Grateful Dead. The good news is that the game is really innocent and fun and there is no requirement of wearing tie-dyed shirts or twirling. The game is a bit more complex than the pigs and therefore I think, more fun. There are a freakish amount of rules as well as loads of ridiculous lingo to go along with it.

You will be asked to clear your flash.
You will experience train wrecks.
You will wonder why your freight train landed you out of the game.
You will be offered Last Licks.
And you may not understand why “you may not want to but you must”.

From my description alone you may hate this game already. It is much less annoying than it sounds. And know that I am going to harass all of you into playing it this Christmas season. So get on board now.

There is a really good downloadable version of the game that if you like will lower your productivity almost as much as Snood. I would recommend reading the official rules of the game in order to make any sense out of what is going on. If all else fails, wait for a personal explanation or go back to the pigs.
