The rules
How to play
1
One or two players are sharks in the middle; everyone else lines up as minnows at one end.
2
The shark calls 'Minnows, cross my ocean!' and all minnows must run to the far side without being tagged.
3
Tagged minnows become sharks for the next crossing.
4
The last free minnow wins and starts as the shark next game.
Keep it fair
Agree that minnows must cross when called, hovering at the line stalls the game. A count of three after the call is a fair rule.
