Cosmic Wimpout
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cosmic Wimpout is a dice game produced by C3, Inc.
It is played with 5 custom dice. An optional combination score board and rolling surface, in the form of a piece of cloth or felt available in various colors and designs, may also be used. Players supply their own game piece for score keeping.
Possibly based on Pig and/or Zonk, Cosmic Wimpout was introduced in the 1970s and has often been associated with the Berkeley, Grateful Dead, and other free-form subcultures.
The annual tournament currently takes place at the Green River Festival in Greenfield, Massachusetts.
