ABSTRACT:
A game includes a playing surface that is made from a fabric material such as a beach towel. The playing surface includes reinforcing members near the edges that receive retaining members to maintain the playing surface in desired position and location regardless of the base surface. The playing surface is adapted to be placed on a beach, carpeting or grass, for example. A plurality of playing pieces preferably are generally hollow shells that have an exterior surface in the shape of a desired object. The interior of the shell preferably is a negative of the exterior. The interior portion of the shell is generally hollow and can receive a moldable material such as sand to create a cast of the playing piece that can be used as a score marker. A die that is included in the game is over-sized and has generously rounded corners and edges so that the die more easily rolls along a variety of indoor or outdoor surfaces.
