The corners
The members hold hands and spin as fast as possible counting: 10, 20, 30, 40, until they reach 100. When they let go, each of the people has to reach a base that is located in different areas of the space where they play (it is important that each base has a good distance from the others, NOT TOGETHER). There is always one base less than the number of people (for example, if 5 people are playing there must be 4 bases). The remaining one (without base) remains in the center. The game consists of those on the bases having to exchange them in pairs and whoever is in the center taking advantage of the opportunity to take over a base. Whoever loses the base remains in the center and the situation repeats itself. When one of the people loses their base 3 times, they are eliminated.
