A step-by-step guide to play the game

The players line up and stand in front of each other and form a circle.

One player stands alone in the circle with no one in front of him.

This 'solo' player winks at another player standing in front of someone else. This indicates that the player who received the wink should run to this player.

The player behind the person who received the wink should try to catch it before it reaches the player who winked.

If the player escapes, he/she takes place behind the player who winked. So on the outside of the circle.

The player who is now alone must find a new partner by winking at someone in the circle.

The game continues as long as the players want to play.

At the end of the game, participants can have a conversation about the right to protection, personal boundaries and their feelings during the game (see additional game info).
