A box of mismatched pieces from games that never existed: chrome hogs, gold bananas, traffic cones, dice. On 3-2-1-GO, everyone puts a hand into the box and grabs pieces as fast as they can, but one at a time, dropping each into their cup. The moment someone's cup is full, they take the big red pawn and count down: 5-4-3-2-1-STOP. Then comes the showdown. Players take turns calling out a piece from their cup and throwing it back in the box. The others players do the same if they can, but if they can't, they're eliminated! Then, the next player calls out a piece and this repeats. The last person in wins!
