Fox-Across-the-River (Sharks and Minnows) 
(Ditch) 
Materials:      None 

Set-up:      A field of play is designated, roughly 50 yards long by 20 yards wide. One player is chosen as the "Fox" (or Shark) and stands in the center of the field. All other players line up on one end of the field, as "Chickens" (or Minnows). Weapon restrictions, if any, are decided upon before play begins. 

Object:      When Lay-On is called, the chickens must try and run or maneuver past the Fox and make it to the safety of the other side of the field. The Fox, in turn, tries to defeat the Chickens. Any chickens slain by the Fox become Foxes for the next round. All wounds to all players are regenerated after each crossing. Play continues until all the chickens are Foxes. The last surviving chicken becomes the Fox for the next round. 

Options: 
1.      The Fox may regenerate from wounds or death in a 5 count, if slain or injured by a chicken during the crossing. Only the first (original) Fox may do this. Other, secondary Foxes (basically all the chickens who get killed) may not regenerate
