How to play
Choose one or two tippers depending on group size. When tipped, a player lies on their back with hands and legs in the air, and they are a dead ant. Two teammates must grab their hands and legs and carry them to a safe zone. While carrying, the two rescuers cannot be tipped. If only one person is at a dead ant waiting for help, they can be tipped, and they cannot run away because they're stuck.
