Not surprisingly, the rules are very similar to the ones we played, but the big difference is that each player is wearing a light-up wristband it their team's color, so it is much more difficult for people to sneak around. The "flag" is also lit up as are the lines to divide the field.
Because of COVID-19, it took us a couple of months before we could get enough people together to play a good game, but finally, restrictions in Utah were lifted a little and we were able to get a couple of teams.
My kids wanted to start out just using the backyard. I was skeptical since there were very few places to hide in a game like that, but they played anyway. The game went quickly with lots of laughter and bumped heads when two team members ran into each other. After that, we decided to use our entire third of an acre lot to play the game. Each team had control of one of the sideyards and other than running through the house, it was anything goes.
Since I was just watching and taking pictures, I thought Curly could give you his opinion:
I'm Curly. This game was very fun and easy to set up and play. It needs to be played in a big area though or it is not as fun. The glowing pieces are really cool but they die pretty fast, so they probably need better batteries. It is a great game and is easy to take with you and play in the light too.
When I asked others, both adults and kids, everyone had a great time and was willing to play again at the next family party. I only have two requests... first, we have big people in our family, and some of them couldn't wear the wristbands because they were too small. Second, we have a BIG family, so we would love to see a couple more wristbands of each color in the box.
Can you imagine playing this at a park or a family reunion? That would be truly amazing!!

I remember that game growing up too. This does sound like a fun one for sure. I'm happy that you got an opportunity to play it and evaluate the game. I enjoyed all the photos.
Blessings and hugs for you all!
