Games We Play

“Team Elimination” – The objective of this game is to eliminate all the players on the other team. Which ever team survives wins. Players generally start with 9 lives.

“Kill the Captain” – The objective of this game is to take out the Captain of the other team while protecting your Captain. Which ever team’s Captain survives, wins the game. The Captains each wear a yellow ribbon and get 9 lives. Everyone else is a soldier with only 5 lives. The teams must use strategy to win this game.

 

“Traitor” – This game is kill the captain with a twist. The objective of this game is still to take out the Captain of the other team but now you must protect your Captain from the other team and the secret traitor or traitors within your own team. Captains still get 9 lives and the soldiers and traitor(s) get 5 lives. Be careful to not kill innocent soldiers on your own team.

 

“Search and Destroy” – A small group of “Elites” are hiding in the battlefield. The larger “Army” team must hunt down and destroy this elite squad. The Elites typically get 10 lives and the Army gets 5 lives. The Army team has superior numbers but can not see the battlefield at the beginning of the game. The Elites are sneaky and get to deploy early, hopefully with a good plan.

 

“Adults vs. Kids” – This is always a hit at parties. The kids love shooting Mom, Dad and any other adults we can shanghai into playing. This is the ultimate politically incorrect game and is “disturbingly entertaining”; a quote from a mother in Chevy Chase, Maryland.

“Capture the Flag” – The objective of this game is to capture your opponent’s flag and bring it back to your flag. If you are killed carrying a flag you must drop it and go to the graveyard. To win your team must have both flags in your flag’s starting position. Very tough game with players only getting 2 lives.

“Predator” – This is a two stage game. The first part of the game is everyone against the “Predator”, usually the game-master. When the Predator is killed the whistle is blown a second time. The players then turn on each other in a game of last man standing or everyone for themselves. Small two person teams are allowed but do not get upset when your buddy shoots you in the back… there can only be one survivor. Winner gets bragging rights until the next party!
