Marshmallow Peep wargame

Peep War is an edible tabletop military strategy game played with marshmellow peeps. The instructions are a free download -- I'm guessing that the game gets a lot less edible if you paint the peeps first, but you could probably do some nice terrain effects.

Each player needs the following supplies:

* Approximately 3-5 Marshmallow Peeps of a single color, or a sheet of our Peep Understudies.
* Approximately 30 jellybeans of a single color, or a sheet of our Jellybean Understudies, to represent Troops.
* Two halves of a plastic egg, or two tokens to represent Supply Centers
* 3 copies of the Invisible City Productions Peep War Hex Map.

I had an impromptu peep war once. We were scrubbing ground-in pieces out of the carpet and finding them behind the TV and window blinds for weeks. My version seems like much more fun than this.

Peep one-on-one combat is where it's at. Stick two peeps in the microwave with cocktail swords stuck in them, microwave until one duelist loses, eat the mess.

Not to harsh your buzz, but it's "mallow."

This is a fantastic game; I helped playtest one of the earlier incarnations of it.

Warning: Even if you don't paint the peeps, eating all of them is /still/ a bad idea.

Edible? In the sense that lint is edible. It won't kill you, but....
