Death Wish

Actually, I wasn't quite sure which category to put this game in. However, since it is played over a long time, I figured this was the right place. We like to play this game on weekend camps. At the beginning of the camp, everyone draws the name of someone else at the camp. Make sure that people don't end up with their own name. The goal for each player during the weekend is to track down the person who's name they've drawn and get their shoe, while making sure that their own shoe doesn't get stolen! This is usually accomplished by tackling the target and wrestling their shoe off their foot. I recommend setting limits for when tackling can take place: we usually use no stalking people during meals, during patrol duties, or during craft times. It is perfectly acceptable for a couple of players to "gang up" on one target to get their shoe. Because this is a rather physical game I only recommend that it be played by Pathfinder aged girls and up. Anyone who survives the weekend without losing their shoe wins!

There are many variations of this game: at a number of co-ed camps I have been to with the Scouts, the goal was to blast your target person with a water gun!
