How to play
Assign a card suit (spades, clubs, diamonds, hearts) to each corner of the room. Count down from five, and everyone must be in a corner by zero or they're out. Draw a card and call the suit. Everyone in that corner is out. Repeat until one person remains. For larger groups, reverse the rule so only those in the matching corner stay in, which speeds up elimination.
