HOW TO PLAY
1

Mark a rectangular grid of lanes on the ground, with one guarding player stationed on each dividing line.

2

Guards can only move forward and backward or side to side along their own line, never leaving it.

3

Runners from the other team try to dash through every lane from the start line to the far end and back.

4

Being touched by a guard, or stepping on a line rather than crossing it cleanly, puts a runner out.

5

After a set number of attempts the teams switch roles; whichever team gets more runners safely through wins.
