4 Star Game Rating

Equipment:
None

Description:
The object of the game is to get all the way around the house without being caught. You make a base, like the back porch or a tree. Everyone starts at the base with three lives. The "it" person starts walking in one direction around the house. Then the players start to go around the house. They may hide behind trees or cars or anything else. If the "it" person sees them they say "I see you" and then the persons name. That person then has to go back to base and loses one of thier lives. The "it" person is not supposed to turn around and start walking the other way (they may if they want to though). If another player sees the "it" person turn around (backtrack), they yell "backtracker" and everyone gains a life. The first person to losse all of thier lives is out and has to be it next game.

Other comments or suggestions:
You can make the bouderies however big you want. You can also have it be allowed for people to give lives to other players.
