Tug-of-War

Two teams, one rope, one beat: keep time and drag the ratchet your way.

4–25 · 2–4 minFastTeamworkRhythm

How a round plays

Two teams, one rope. Every player is working a different command at the same moment (tapping, holding, timing, freezing) and the rope is a ratchet, so ground taken is ground kept. A rout ends the match early rather than dragging it out.

What makes it different

Nobody in a team is doing the same job, so it cannot be won by one strong player mashing a button. It is three minutes long, needs no reading, and is the game to open with when people are still arriving and nobody wants an explanation.
