Pitch

A childhood game that I've played my whole life is Capture the Flag. This game is when two teams, set up on an equally divided field, and aim to capture the other team's flag. Once you pass the field divider in the middle, the other team can tag you and you go to jail. They can only tag you once you are on their side, but if they are on your side, you can do the same to them and send them to your jail. To get someone out of jail, you must run to the jail and yell jailbreak before an opposing player tags you out. And to capture the flag, you must run and take the flag and bring it back to your side before an opposing player tags you. This may seem complicated, but it is very simple once you know exactly how to play.

To enhance this gameplay, you can add obstacles, or make the teams smaller, or even add more teams to make it way more interesting. You can make a point system for this and, lets say, play best out of 3 or 5 or something like that. Or maybe award points for however many players get out. There are many changes you could make to enhance the gameplay and make it either harder or easier to play.

There are even game modes in video games, like Call of Duty. You can play online capture the flag, where it is the same rules, but instead of getting tagged, you get shot at and you just restart on your side. You could even compare this to soccer. You can be called offsides in soccer and be sent back and the other team gets the advantage. And in soccer, you can score on a certain goal with other players defending it heavily. This really relates to Capture the Flag.
