What you need:

• 5 or more gnomes per player
• A deck of ordinary playing cards with jokers, face cards, and numbers 5-10 removed
• A soft foam ball
• A yard or garden to play in

A scirmish-level, 'miniatures' wargame played with.... garden gnomes.

This game is designed to get gamers outside the house to get some fresh air and engage in some physical activity. It is played with actual 1 foot tall garden gnomes like those you have in your yard right now. The rules are designed to be easily memorized so that you won't have to look up anything in the rulebook during play. Because this is a skirmish game, few gnome statues will be needed. So go outside and push some gnomes around, let the neighbors know just how strange you are.
