Button Wars

Type of Game: Children - Button Wars

Equipment: Buttons

Formation: Vs.

# of Players: 2+

Description: 2 players start with 12 buttons each and 1 very large button. The 12 buttons are "soldiers" and the 1 larger one is an "officer." Players may arrange their buttons in any formation but they have to be about 5 feet away from each other.

Players will slowly advance their soldiers by flipping their buttons short distances or trying to knock out the others player's "soldiers". When players overturn one of their opponents buttons they are considered captives and are that player's to use.

The player who manages to knock out the "officer" of the other player takes half of their remaining "soldiers". The player who has 4 times as many "soldiers" as the other player wins.
