There are probably lots of names for it, basically 2 'taggers' rest are runners.
When a tagger 'tags' a 'runner' the runner then joins the taggers, Its last man standing.
We called it build-ups when I was a nippa
Fun times 
Dude, thats British Bulldog.There are probably lots of names for it, basically 2 'taggers' rest are runners.

When did they change the name of British Bulldog? Was this part of the PC revolution?
But, of course, wrestling and martial arts are all good in psychiatrists books.
I mean, it's not like they simulate combat and total domination of another person, right?
The drivel that some people write. I'm half tempted to do my own sodding research on agressive behaviour in paintball, just to put something out there that isn't so bloody negative.

Bulldog occured in a small playing area.. build-ups was over an entire playground..
But differences aside kids needs these kind of games!
Yah, it's like totally Bulldog.
We also use to play this other sweet game at school. We had 22 players, 11 on each side. We had one guy on each team that was known as a 'keeper', and he would stand in the 'goals'.
Then the rest of us would kick this 'ball' around, trying to kick it into the 'goal'
We called it 'kick-ball'
Anyone else used to play that?
It sounds similar to 'ball in the net' which we used to play.
But that had a goalie not a keeper so its entirely different.
What was this thread about again?
Ah yeah, paintball. For sociopaths only...
We had a version of that with 15 players on each side, only we had these H shaped goals and instead of kicking we would pick it up and run with it and we never had a "Goalie".
Oh, and another game we used to play, where there were 11 guys stood round a field and 2 more standing at each end of an oblong in the middle. These guys had 5 bits of wood they would take turns to defend with a bat, two bits balanced on the other three which were stuck in the ground, from the leather ball thrown at it, while the rest of their team lounged around in the pavilion drinking tea.
I'm sure both contributed to me being a well-rounded psychopath!
Seems like there's loads of unique games I've never heard of.
We even had one game at school where you simply 'run' in a straight line, as fast as you can, the 'objective' being to cross the 'line' first.
..the things we came up with as kids, eh?
