Description

Wide game involving a deck of cards.

Resources

1 Deck of cards

Instructions

Divide the group into two teams. Each team has one player with an ace and one player with a 2. Each team should then have the rest of their colour shuffled and dealt between the team. The objective of the game is the capture the opposing teams ace. Players cannot swap cards.

During the game the players run around and try to catch the opposite players. When two players meet they compare cards and then one gets captured (king captures queen and below, queen captures jack and below etc) However, an ace can only be captured by a 2, and the 2 can be captured by everyone. If both players have the same card it is decided through rock paper scissors. When the player is captured they are taken back to the enemy team base and held captive. Any player can go to release their team members from the base.

The first team to capture the enemy teams ace wins.

You could use a rule that nobody can show or tell each other what card they have/seen on the enemy team. So only the people they try to capture knows what card they have to stop people avoiding certain higher card players.
