The rules
How to play
1
One or two players start as hunters; everyone else hides within agreed boundaries.
2
Hunters search and must tag (not just spot) a hider to catch them; the caught join the hunting team.
3
Hiders can move and re-hide at any time.
4
The last player free wins and picks the first hunters next round.
Keep it fair
Set the boundaries and a time limit before you start, and agree a tag must be a clear touch, 'I saw you' doesn't count in Manhunt.
