HOW TO PLAY
1

Scatter several markers around the field to represent cattle posts, one fewer than the number of players.

2

One player is chosen as the herder and tries to tag the others.

3

Tagged players freeze at the nearest cattle post until a free player touches them to release them.

4

Players may stand safely at a post but only one player may occupy it at a time.

5

Swap the herder every few minutes to keep the game moving.
