Synopsis
Players line up and watch a 1v1 fight. The loser steps out, the winner stays in. This continues, seeing how many the winner can kill until he is defeated.
Equipment
No extra equipment is required, though extra weapons can be used to mark out a play area, or especially to mark out the front of the line.
Field setup
Not much field is required, though it is recommended to limit the play area somewhat. Mark out a spot on the ground for the players to line up, though this is more just to keep everyone in the same play area.
Game play and win condition
Players watch a duel. The loser steps out and goes to the back of the line, and the winner stays in, resetting to a fully healed player. The next person in line steps in to fight the winner, and the process repeats. The goal is to see how many players the winner can defeat without losing, and players are encouraged to track how many wins in a row they have to see who in the line has the most.
The game has no real end, so it is recommended to change games after about 15-20 minutes to prevent stagnation.
Additional notes
The game can be played in larger groups forcing a 2v2, 3v3, or even 4v4. Create a line for as many people to a team as you have, for instance, if you have 3v3, there should be three separate lines. The fight starts, and all defeated players leave to the back of a line they did not come from, and players at the front of these lines step in to replace them. Great way to practice small team tactics at smaller realms.
