STATUES

.

This game, also needs one of the players to be placed as a target for fun, for the beginning of the game. That one has to place her/him self as a statue, turned back to the other players, but with most ticklish places, opened and easy to reach. (in practice, the best pose were kneeling on the couch, with back turned to all others, arms spread, up on the head, as a soldier while surrending.) Then one of other players commands "Ready". The statue has to keep her/him eyes closed, and to kneel still, without moving, just like a statue. All the other are trying to "move the statue", and they are coming near, one by one, and each have right to try it three times, to drive the statue to moving, or making some sound, by poking the fingers unexpectably in some ticklish spot, (or just stroke somewhere, or just run with a fingers verry fast over some ticklish spot - But very quick, not too long! ). If the statue endured that, after a three trys of one player, without moving, or screaming,or making any sounds, the one who was trying unsuccessfully to move him/her would be next. But if she/he has been moved, the next player from the line is coming to try. If all players in the line succeeded to drive the statue on moving or making a sound, in one round of the game, than is goes to the second round.

All players are coming and trying in three times, like before, but this time, each have right to stroke but very gently, with the nails only or with a tips of the fingers (and to make that in one line, without turning hand back over the same spot ?) with one hand, while trying to move the statue in three times with other hands, trying to be unexpectable, of course. Again, if the statue endures the trying of one player, they change places, but if not, the next one is coming to try. And if all the player in the circle drive the statue on moving or making sound, than becomes the third round.

This time they are trying the same, but all together, at the same time, over the various ticklish spots. They all take the places all around the statue, and on a command, trying to make it unexpected, all at once are poking fingers, or making some quick strokings, all over different ticklish spots. Of course, they have a right to try three times, also.

If statue succeeded to endure that still, she/he could pick anyone of other players to become a next statue, but if not, after that comes a penalty. - the statue have to submit to be tickled by all players in the way they agreed in advance, before starting the game, and as long as they agreed.

This game was always made a great atmosphere and it is very very funny. Of course, it is very very difficult to keep the body still, even in the first round of the game, so if someone hyperticklish becomes the statue, better prepare her/himself on being tickled a lot.
