Game Description:

A reaction game played in a circle, suitable for small to medium-sized groups.

Instructions:

Preparation:
All participants sit in a circle with both hands placed on the floor in front of them.
Then, each person swaps the position of their hands with their neighbors on the right and left, so that their hands cross over those of their neighbors.

Gameplay:
Clap once with the hand on the floor, going around the circle. The sequence of the hands on the floor determines the order, not the order of the participants.
If there are two quick claps in succession, the direction of play reverses. Anyone can do this at any time.
If you move your hand at the wrong time or hesitate for too long, that hand is out of the game.

The last two participants remaining are the winners.
