HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDNothing
  1. 1Mark a small boundary and face a partner inside it with open hands. Both players may attack and defend at the same time; grabbing clothing or holding an opponent does not count.
  2. 2Score one point by tapping the front or side of either of your opponent’s knees with one open hand. A tap anywhere else scores nothing.
  3. 3After a legal knee tap, both players step apart, say the score aloud, and restart from the center. Leaving the boundary pauses play and also resets both players at center without a point.
  4. 4The first player to three points wins. For another round, switch opponents or require everyone to attempt tags with the non-dominant hand.

REMIX THE RULES

Complete twists.

Call your shotPlayers alternate as attacker and defender. Before moving, the attacker calls left or right and gets one step to tap that knee; a correct tap earns two points, while tapping the other knee earns nothing. If the defender avoids the attempt without leaving the boundary, they earn one point. First to seven wins.
