Wink Rules

You need an odd number of people.

Everyone grab a partner: the person without a partner is the wink.

Everyone should sit in a circle, with one person in front of the other in each pair, forming, in effect, two close concentric circles. Both people must have both "cheeks" on the ground, and the person in the back cannot be touching the person in the front.

The wink calls out something that is true for one or more of the front people. For example, everyone with T-shirts on, or everyone who owns a Macintosh.

All of the fronts to whom this statements applies begin to move forwards, while the people behind them try to hold them back.

The only rule for the fronts is that they cannot stand up on their feet -- you can crawl, roll, or wiggle, but no standing or substantially using your feet to aid your progress.

The backs must stop the fronts without kicking, biting, pinching, or tickling them.

The fronts' final goal is to be the first person to kiss the wink on the cheek.

The front who is the first one to kiss the wink becomes the new back to the old wink and the front's previous back returns to the original place and becomes the new wink.

Wink Pictures

Frequently, everyone ends up piling up in one place (the guy on the far right is the wink, here).

Sometimes it's a better idea to try to hold the other people back, if you can't reach the wink yourself because your back person is too tenacious.

In this picture, jere7my tho?rpe and Fred Bush illustrate how one person can easily hold another person down.

Here, we have Fred Bush, me, Aaron Brockett, and jere7my tho?rpe in a nice, entwined pile.
