The rules
How to play
1
Mark four or more bases around the play area (trees, wall-corners, chalk circles).
2
One player is It and stands in the middle with no base.
3
Players at bases make eye contact and silently agree to run and swap places.
4
The It player watches for any movement and races to claim an empty base.
5
The player left without a base becomes the new It.
6
Players cannot return to their own base, they must always run to a different one.
Keep it fair
Only the first player to clearly touch the base claims it, ties are settled by the person already defending it. This prevents pushing and shoving.
