MATERIALS
- Nothing needed
- Four marked bases: a home base and a prison for each team
MEASUREMENTS
A field divided into two territories, each with a home base and a prison area near the far corner.
HOW TO PLAY
1
Split into two teams, each with a home base and a prison area on opposite sides of the field.
2
Players leave their home base to chase and tag opposing players who are in neutral territory.
3
A player who left home more recently than an opponent can tag that opponent out; if tagged, they're sent to the opposing team's prison.
4
Imprisoned players can be freed if a teammate reaches the prison without being tagged first, then both walk back to home base together.
5
Teams try to balance chasing opponents with rescuing their own imprisoned players.
6
The game ends when one team has captured every member of the other team.
