Game Description:

All players stand in a circle, with two people standing one behind the other. One person stands alone in the center of the circle. This person wants a partner too. They can wink at a player standing in front of them to signal them to come over. The player who is winked at tries to run to the person in the center. However, the player behind them naturally doesn't want to be left alone, so they try to hold onto the person running away without having to run themselves. If they succeed, the front player stays with the person who was trying to hold them. If the front player manages to reach the "winker," they stand behind them and join the circle. The former back player is now alone and tries winking themselves.
