Capture the Flag

---

Capture the Flag

Start with 2 teams each having a flag and a base. Objective is to capture the opposing teams flag and return it to your base. You cannot move your own flag. If both teams capture each others flag, flag ownership is considered to have switched (your flag is now their flag, & vice versa). Combat continues until one team has both flags at their base at the same time.

Sometimes Capture the Flag is call CTF for short.

Flag Game Variants

Center Flag

Start with 2 or more teams each with a designated base and one flag in the center between them. Objective is to capture the center flag and return it to the an opposing base. This gets really good when done with 3+ teams.

Multi Team CTF

Start with more than 2 teams each with a designated base and one flag at each base. Objective is to capture all the opposing flags and return them to your base.

Meat in the Middle

Start with 2 or more teams each with a base and flag. Designate a center base or flag equidistant from all teams that is unmovable. Objective is to capture as many opposing flags as possible and touch them to the center flag/base. The Herald must keep track of how many complete flag captures each team has(it helps to have a Herald per team or per 2 teams). The team with the most complete flag captures wins. Can end in a tie.

Flag Football

Start 2 teams on far ends of the field with designated boundaries and endzones. Each team starts with a flag and an even number of other flags are placed on the field at equal distances from each team. Objective is to get more flags returned to the opposing endzone than the other team (by running them and not dying). “Hand-offs” are ok but “passing” of cored flags is a safety hazard and not allowed.
