Game Description:

Some people also call this game "Merkball" (Memory Ball). All players spread out across the playing field, and the game leader throws a ball into the crowd. The player who catches the ball can try to hit another player with it. However, they are only allowed to take a maximum of three steps. If they take more steps, they must drop the ball. If they take a maximum of three steps and then hit someone with the ball, that person is temporarily out. However, the hit player must remember who hit them. They sit at the edge of the playing field and can now call out to the player currently holding the ball, telling them who to target. If the person who hit you gets hit, you can return to the playing field. The game leader can speed up the game by providing more balls.

To end the game, after a certain amount of time, all players currently waiting can be brought back into the playing field. From this point on, anyone who is hit is completely out. This leaves one player remaining, who wins the game.
