HOW TO PLAY
1
Choose one player as the peacock leader who stands where everyone can see them.
2
The leader performs a slow, flowing arm and hand gesture inspired by a peacock spreading its feathers.
3
Everyone else mirrors the gesture as closely as possible, staying in rhythm with the leader.
4
Anyone who breaks rhythm or copies the wrong movement sits out for one round.
5
Rotate the leader role every few gestures so new patterns keep appearing.
6
Keep going until only a few sharp-eyed mimics remain standing.
