Instructions

Sort explrs into teams. Can be any number of teams depending on how many explorers you have. We played with 10 so had 2 teams of 5.
Mark floor with 8 equal sized squares and number from 8 to 1.
Everybody starts in square 8. AS game goes on only 1 explr can be left in each square except square 1, where most will end up.
Object of the game is to move other explorers out of the square you are in. If an explorer is forced out of a square they move down to the next highest numbered square. When only 1 explr left in a square they must stay there and can't go to help team mates in another square. The game continues in this way until only 1 explr in each square. If a team plays tactically they will try and leave weakest member in highest numbered square.
At the end of the game add up numbers to determine which team has won. 8 points for square 8 7 for square 7 and so on. everyone in square 1 gets 1 point. Winning team has the most points overall.
