Instructions:
Scouts spread out around the playing area.
On 'Go' signal, each scout tries to take the tail from another scout while protecting their own tail.
Once a scout has a tail in hand, they are 'safe' while exchanging the tail for all of the scout's tokens. The scout that lost the tail takes the tail back and leaves the game. Once the exchange is made, the scout with tokens is fair game.
The winner is the scout with the most tokens when time is called.
Try different time limits of 2, 3, 5 minutes.
