Players are divided into two teams. One team forms a line across the playing field, blindfolded and standing close enough together to touch hands. Each hand is a mine that will ’destroy’ a submarine (a member of the other team). The submarine team quietly tries to sneak along the line weaving in and out of the mines, (i.e. between their feet, or between two players). If a minefield team member uses one hand and hits a ship, that hand is out of play for the round, so later submarines may go through an unprotected area. When the whole team has tried to get through the teams change over. At the end of the game, the winning team is the one that managed to get the most ships through the minefield
