Capture the Flag and a few Twists

A few twists to add to capture the flag, to even the odds or just add interest to the game:

1. When the jail is getting filled in a one sided manner, you s the monitor can cll "Jail Break" and everyone in jail has a chance to run for thier side.
2. Instead of 1 flag for each side have a "Gold Deposit" Where there are several (6) flags, and the opposite side can only take 1 piece of gold at a time.

To Play Capture the Flag:

1. Retreat by team into your territory to hide the flag. The flag must be hung at head height and be visible from 20 yards away on at least one side.
2. Split into attacker and defender groups within your team. Attackers and defenders can switch jobs as needed.
3. Attempt to sneak across the border, find and capture the enemy flag, and then race back without being caught if you are an attacker.
4. Hide around your flag or along the border and try to intercept and catch any opposing players who sneak across if you are a defender.
5. Capture enemy players by tagging them while they are on your side of the border.
6. Win by capturing the enemy flag and carrying it back to your side of the border.
   

Tips & Warnings

* Avoid hiding the flag in a great hiding spot. Instead, put it in a deceptively open spot, where no one will think twice about it.
* Captured players must obey your orders. They cannot yell information back to their side.
* Once hidden, the flag cannot be moved.
* Once you capture the flag, you have to carry it across the border. You can't throw the flag across.
* Guarding the flag is poor sportsmanship and also reveals the location of your flag. Agree not to post a guard within 10 feet of the flag.
* Wear dark or camouflage clothing and tennis shoes.
* You can play with three teams and three flags to make things more complicated.

Jail

1. Put captured enemy players in "jail" by picking an area with a clearly defined border to serve as the jail.
2. Rescue teammates by sneaking across the border, finding the jail, tagging your teammate, then racing back across the border.
3. Recapture players by tagging them again before they reach the border.
