Easter Egg/Capture the Flag


I made up a game that has a twist on the traditional Easter Egg hunt.  I thought it was pretty fun.  We played in a baseball field which has no good hiding spots.  I think it would be best in an area with lots of trees and other hiding spots.  If you play, tell me how it goes. 
Easter Egg Capture the Flag

There are four teams.  Pink, Yellow, Green and Orange.  You could play with only two teams as well.

Each team takes one quarter of the field.
Your goal is to find and protect your eggs and find and capture as many eggs from other teams as you can. 

In your quarter of the field are hidden eggs that are your teams color as well as a few golden eggs.   There are no "flags" to capture in this game... just eggs.


 RULES
1)  You have to keep the eggs you find in ONE PLACE on the GROUND somewhere on your quarter of the field that is approximately 12 feet away from the outside corner.  You can’t protect your eggs by holding them.  The found eggs have to stockpiled ON THE GROUND in ONE PLACE.
2)  If someone is in your quarter of the field and is holding one of your teams colored eggs, you can tag them and make them give you back the eggs that are your team color.  Gold eggs are safe from this rule.  Once you are tagged you have to go back to your section of the field.  If you are tagged on the border you are safe. 

3)  The team at the end of the time limit with the most points wins.

 POINTS
The team with the most eggs of their own color gets a bonus of 15 points.
The team with the 2nd most eggs of their own color gets a bonus of 10 points.
The team with the 3rd most eggs of their own color gets a bonus of 5 points.

Each egg you have in your stash of any color is worth 1 point.
Gold eggs are worth 3 points each.
