Quick Tag

The Basic Game

This is a basic game of tag, good with at least four people, two per team. This was written with the new Tiger Toys Lazer Striker in mind and is a variation on the game we play most often. This game is meant to be over fairly quickly as its name denotes. Several of these may be played back-to-back.
The Field: The ideal field is 100-150 feet long by 60-80 feet wide (about the size of two basketball courts). The field should contain plenty of barriers shuch as shrubs or blocks to hide behind. Teams with more players should use larger fields.

Play Conditions: All Lazer Strikers begin at with all but two hits left. Everyone starts at a base of some sort. The team winning the credit toss gets a head start from the base. The other team gets to try to find them/ draw them out. The second team has the problem of being sniper bait

Equipment Notes: Everyone should set their Lazer Strikers to the same status (two hits left) at the start of each game.

Physical Contact: To discourage close-quarters play, physically tagging can be used to "freeze" someone for 15 seconds, enough time for one to find a new hiding place. This should encourage battles with more distance between players.
An alternate idea is to penalize with a hit during the freeze as well.
