capture the golden eagle

playtime: until one team wins

number of players:

• a standard-bearer for each legion
• one ref
• the same amount of legionaries for each legion and there are at least two legions
• a praeter for each legion

Equipment:

• one whistle ( for the ref)
• a golden eagle for each team
• something to mark out the sides for each team

rules:

• each praeter is elected by legion the person elected is in
• each standard-bearer is chosen by the praeter in their team
• when someone gets tagged, the person tagged drops whatever is in the person's hands(if they are holding a component of the game) and they will stand where they are for 120 seconds then the person will go to the side they are one and will be able to go back (Mabey to try whatever they were doing earlier) and if you are a standard-bearer  you drop the golden eagle and cannot pick it up except from the ground and cannot tag
• the praeter and legionaries get tagged on their enemies side and standard-bearers get tagged on their side
• standard-bearers cannot go to the enemy's side( because if the eagle goes to its owner's enemy's side the game is won by the side it is taken to.) 
•  if someone disobeys their praeter, the person that disobeys the praeter will get taken out of the game, unless of course, the order is unreasonable.
