Abstract: A game of physical skill to be played by two or more persons wherein the participants each stand within their respective small and encompassing ground boundaries or on small portable platforms which hold them a slight distance off the ground. Each participant then grasps onto a hand line which is connected at an intermediate point to every other participant's hand line. Each participant starts with an extra length of hand line which is also provided with a plastic tube grip over the line for grasping the line therein and to permit effective controlled slipping of the line through the hands without friction burns. The object of the game is to unbalance all other participants such that they can no longer stay within their respective boundaries or on the platform, or in the alternative to dislodge the hand line away from all other participants. The respective ground boundaries may be marked on the ground surface, or provided by mats or raised platforms.
