How to play

Two people stand an arms-length apart (can actually put hands on other persons shoulders to make sure of the distance). Players should keep their own feet together.

Then players put their hands in front of them, palms facing out. The two players then try to make the other player lose their balance (i.e. move their feet). The only thing players are aloud to touch however is the other player's palms.

It becomes a battle between pushing and not pushing at the right time in order to either push your partner over or, have your partner lunge forwards and fall forwards.
