Step-by-Step Instructions

Identify clear boundaries of a wide, open playing space.
In the beginning, every person belongs to the team of Monarchists.
Ask for one volunteer to become the first Republican.
The Republican aims to tag as many Monarchists as possible using a soft, tossable ball.
As the sole Republican, they may run with the ball.
When a Monarchist is successfully tagged (below their waist,) they immediately join the Republican team.
From this point, Republicans are not permitted to move if they are holding the ball, but they may pass it.
Game continues until all members of the Monarchs team are tagged to join the Republican team.
