Scramball Me

Where could I buy Scramball or how I could I rig up my own?

I had an outdoor game called Scramball when I was younger that I would like to get hold of again. It was a rounded cube ball with wristbands. I searched ebay and google but couldn't find a place to buy one. If anyone knows where I could buy one or how I could go about rolling my own I would greatly appreciate it.

Official Scramball Rules

Sounds like it's basically a big soft die-shaped "ball" marked with a different color on each side (maybe you could find a cube-shaped throw pillow and mark it?) and a collection of correspondingly colored bracelets (cloth hair scrunchies?)

There are generic "scatterball" versions out there which seem to be targeted at the school gym class market, but the ball is pretty lame looking. I remember getting the real Scramball for Christmas one year. I never played it much because we lived out in the country and if there were ever six or more people around, we had better things to do. Probably sold it at a garage sale years ago.
