The rules

How to play

1

Players pair up and stand in two-person lines throughout the playing area.

2

One player is the Runner and one is the Chaser.

3

The Runner escapes by joining the front or back of any pair, when they do, the person at the opposite end of that pair instantly becomes the new Runner.

4

If the Chaser tags the Runner before they join a group, they swap roles.

Keep it fair

Set a rule that the Runner must fully connect (both hands on shoulders) before the swap counts, this stops disputes about whether they were 'in' or not.
