Everybody selects a corner. If there are not enough corners or trees, players can make corners by drawing two lines at right angles on the ground or floor. Any player may start the game by leaving his corner. A second player chases him and a third may chase them both and a fourth may chase the three, etc. In other words, a player may tag anyone who preceded him in leaving a corner but cannot tag a play who left after he did.
When a player is caught his "captor" leads him by the arm to the "Captor's Corner," and while doing so he is not subject to capture. When the two players reach the corner they become team-mates and work together to capture others. At the end of the game, the player who has the greatest number of captives is the winner.
