This document describes the game "marshmallow roulette". It involves using a ceiling fan to shoot dry marshmallows around a room at high speeds while players try to catch them. The rules state that a hit counts as a strike against the tossed, while a catch counts as a strike against the tosser. Players are eliminated after receiving 5 strikes, with the last player standing winning. Suggestions to increase complexity include varying the number of marshmallows tossed, players, surrounding walls, and marshmallow dryness.

roulette rules
• 4-5 players space themselves out around a table, sofa or other
obstruction (this removes the possibility of a player hiding directly
under the fan)
• the fan is placed on high speed
• the first player holds 5 marshmallows in their hand and tosses them
up to the ceiling fan so the marshmallows are shot throughout the
room
• if a marshmallow hits a player =1 of 5 strikes against the hit player
• if a player catches a marshmallow, the player that did the original toss
= 1 strike against the tossing player
• the players rotate around the table/obstruction for the next toss
• after 5 strikes, that player is removed from the game until 1 player is
left

4. how to increase
complexity
• number of marshmallows tossed
• number of players around in the room
• the number of walls that surround the players
• the level of dryness/hardness of each marshmallow to increase
the speed at which they fly
• tying player’s non-dominant hand behind their back for tossing/
catching
• using a cup for catching the marshmallows
