HOW TO PLAY
1

Mark four corners of a room or yard and place one player at each, with one extra player in the middle.

2

On a signal, corner players dash to swap with another corner while the middle player tries to slip into an empty spot.

3

Whoever ends up without a corner becomes the new middle player.

4

Give the signal again and repeat, keeping the swaps unpredictable.

5

Keep playing freely, or track how many rounds each player avoids ending up in the middle.
