How many 5-year-olds could you take out?

kids runningJust when we thought we had seen it all, the Internet reminds us that there are still unplumbed depths of fascinating depravity to be explored. The following idea started out as just another dumb "what if" conversation over beer and evolved into a highly-structured game with tight rules. It's not a video game yet, but about 30% of the way into the thread the inevitable comparison to video games is made and suddenly everyone's a game designer.

Here are the rules:

  • You're in a basketball court-sized area.

  • There are no foreign objects.

  • You are not allowed to touch a wall.

  • You lose if knocked out. You win if you knock them all out.

  • The pool will be representative of normal 5-year-old demographics.

  • The kids receive one day of training from combat experts.

  • You will receive one hour of combat training.

  • No protection other than a standard groin cup.

  • The kids will not get scared. Even the last one will give it his/her best.
