Each player has 1 hour to build a sandcastle big enough to hide in. Each castle must have five towers, with walls inbetween. Five flags are planted, each on a tower. They are then issued armaments, such as catapults and mortars, and fling wet sandballs at the other castles.

Last castle with a tower still standing wins!

this game could last a very long time if you are going to use mortar. <wince>

sounds fun though, have done something vaugely similar with snow.

Splat! It landed right ontop of the [for] button! Good aim, 2frys!

By mortar i think [DesertFox] means lobbed gunfire (i.e. artillery), not cement. I would love to do this, but the sand at the beach near me doesn't build into castles well. I hear that the silt of the Mississippi is great for sandcastles, though.
