Description

"I'm a Shmo and that ain't good."

Each player is provided a "Shmo" marker (a plastic boy in short pants) which is placed onto an oversized board. Players roll the dice and move along a path containing such features as "Forgets his trousers...", "Takes wrong school bus..." or "Walks through wet cement." Each special feature directs the player to advance a number of spaces and pick a "Shmo card". The cards direct the player to perform some silly act and declare himself a shmo (Scratch your back 10 times and say, "I'm an itchy shmo!").

At the end of the path is a large box declaring: "First one here is a SHMO... ...and that ain't good!"

Shmo is a Tumblebum dice game, which is to say that the two dice are placed into an hourglass-shaped device (Tumblebum) which is spun around in order to roll the dice.
