The rules
How to play
1
Split into two teams. One team guards a fixed home base (jail) while the other hides.
2
Guards search and tag hiders, sending them to jail at the base.
3
Any free hider can sprint in, touch the jail, and shout 'Relievio!' to free all captured teammates at once.
4
Guards must catch (or re-catch) everyone.
5
The round ends when all hiders are in jail, then teams swap.
Keep it fair
The most argued rule is whether a guard can camp right next to the jail to intercept rescuers. Set a 'guard must stay five steps from jail' rule before you start.
