The rules
How to play
1
Choose one player to be 'It'.
2
They chase the others in a defined boundary.
3
When they tag someone, that person joins hands with 'It'.
4
The chain must stay linked at all times.
5
As more players are tagged they join the growing chain, but only the two players at either end of the chain can make tags.
6
The last free player wins and becomes 'It' for the next round.
7
If the chain breaks during a chase, the tag does not count.
Keep it fair
Only end players can tag, middle players cannot lunge out to tap someone. This is the game's defining rule and should be agreed clearly before starting.
