Description: You mean to tell us, nobody has ever told you about these games? Well, it's true; they do have something of an outrageous reputation! Maybe that's why nothing has ever been written about them before. No, you don't need a super-deluxe, specially-carved waffle whistle, or an extra-special, self-propelling miniature hammer. You don't even need a pair of fork-tongued turf pliers. To play these games, all you need is a bunch of ordinary objects. Stuff. The sort of things everyone has lying around the house. You don't have to get all artsy-fartsy-creative building things either. Not at all! Most of the things you need can be put together in five minutes or less. You just have to gather up some stuff and start playing! Fans of these outrageous games don't want to do anything else. Go ahead, ask them. "Nope, there's nothing like an outrageous game! Your life will never be the same! Yesterday morning, I played Klutz Futz for three whole hours. Then I spent the entire afternoon doing the Water Waddle with friends!" To be brutally honest though, most of these games do have one drawback: in the end, someone will lose. But, don't let that put a damper on things. It might not be you! Not if you keep Playing with Stuff!
Notes: Includes index.
