Cyborgs

So as a youth director I organize a lot of group games. Much of this blog has been about table top games. I'm going to start branching out to other forms of games too. Here is how you play the group game Cyborgs!

Scenario:

A group of cyborgs have traveled to earth to capture all of the human race so they can take them back to their home world and eat their blood and brains (middle school boys love the gore factor). The only way the cyborgs can be stopped is by being deprogrammed. Programming disks are hidden through out the building. Humans must hunt and find the programming disks and tag the cyborgs with them before all of the human-race is captured.

Roles:

Cyborgs: between 2 and 4 players play the role of the cyborg. The cyborgs run around trying to tag all of the humans. Usually the cyborgs wear a special shirt or jersey so they can be identified.Cyborgs are not allowed to touch the disks or move them. If they are to find a disk they can guard it. There are special rooms (safe rooms) that the cyborgs can not inter. There is a "cage" that the cyborgs can also guard where humans must go after they have been caught (tagged).

Humans: everyone not playing as a cyborg plays as a human. Humans get a 30 second head start at the beginning of the game before the cyborgs are activated. Humans need to find the disks to deprogramming the cyborgs without being caught. There are safe rooms where humans can hind to regroup. If a human is caught (tagged) by a cyborg they must zombie walk to the "cage". If you are in the cage the game is not over for you. A team mate can come and tag you out but watch out a cyborg is probably guarding the cage area.

Set up:
 Before the game starts a nonplayer must go around and hid CDs to use as deprogramming disks. The game is typically played in the dark. Before the game begins out-of-bounds areas need to be established as well as safe-zones and the cage area. To begin play humans get a 30 second head start on the cyborgs. If humans are having trouble finding the disks the nonplayer that hid them can give hints.

Have fun playing!
