The Circle Game has changed in the last
10-15yrs because the early players of it decided to add the complication of being "below the waist" so as to suggest they weren'
t actually got. OR to make it crude and a way to get someone to look in their genital region. The original game was simply a "Made you Look" concept with the only true rule being the circle couldn't be on
your face or in the other persons direct face making it
impossible not to actually look.
Official Rules - Old School
1) Make a circle with your thumb and pointer
finger. It can be ANYWHERE, as
long as its not on
your face, or directly in the face of your opponent.
2) Try to make them look, this can be done any number of ways. The standard "Omg, what is this?" is always a winner.
3) Original rules said you got to do a bicep punch on the person, eventually that was moved to the shoulder - and inevitably it actually simply went away all together and became a simple "Got you" - which in itself for most game players was a win.
4) The circle can be broken as per variants of the game to reverse the punishment.
Some variants of the game include a "Couples" version. Where if either couple make a circle and their target looks at it, they are given owed a
kiss. Breaking the circle reverses the winner. A silly game for young sweethearts but it can be flirty and playful.
