Kho Kho

Kho Kho is a board game based on a running-around game popular in India - somewhat similar to Red Rover or British Bulldog. An example of the real game is in this video:

The board game is an abstract game for 2 players or teams which closely simulates the real thing. The chasing team has a line of waiting runners, and the chased team has 3 runners being chased. The chasers can move along the field in one direction only and need to tag a waiting runner if their team needs to change direction. The chasees try to avoid being caught. Players take turns as chaser and chasee, and whoever catches the most opponents on their chasing turn wins the game.
