Description
All players stand behind a starting line. A few feet away, a "master" player stands with his back to the others. The player says a number out loud. All other players move in the direction of the "master" player by that number of steps. Everyone decides the width of their steps, as short or as long as they like. The goal of the players is to touch the shoulder of the "master" player. The "master" keeps letting the players approach at will, always without being able to turn around, until at one point he says "zero". At this point he turns around and chases the other players, who must take refuge behind the starting line. If the "master" touches any player before they reach the starting line, the one who is touched is the new "master". If the "master" gets tapped on the shoulder, it means he has brought the players too close together and has to start the game over again.
Who wins?
