This small elegant game depicts the struggle of elves trying to outsmart and defeat a 40 foot, slow-witted giant named Thunderpumper. The giant is depicted only by his sandals as the elves work to tangle up his shoes and make him crash to the earth. In the meantime Thunderpumper is swinging his club and trying to stomp the pesky elves that have invaded his master's garden. The game fits in a ziplock bag with a color map of the garden, barely 2 pages of rules, and counters. In 1997 it was "reprinted" as an insert in the third and final issue of Chaosium's house newsletter, Starry Wisdom, along with alternate rules incorporating the various universes of the company's roleplaying games, past and present.
