Human Board Games

1) Find a pair of giant dice.

I can't emphasize the importance of this step enough. You can't have a giant board game without giant dice. The idea is just ludicrous. Get foam dice, fuzzy dice, make cardboard dice, but get them.

2) Make up the rules.

Most childrens' board games have a path to follow with various pitfalls and bonuses along the way. Make up your own, or try to recreate your favorite family game life size.

• Sample pitfalls:
• Land on Yellow, you have to cluck like a chicken until your next turn.
• Land on Blue, and you have to stand on one foot until your next turn.

• Sample Bonuses:
• Land on Red, move two steps forward.
• Land on White, and collect a piece of candy.

3) Play.

4) Rinse and repeat.
