The aim is to pass the ball between the thirds of the pitch to a team mate whilst avoiding the "landmines" and score a goal. The opposing team can only intercept the ball, not tackle them. If the ball or a player touches a landmine their whole team must link arms and stay in the middle third of the pitch.
The players must play in incorrect positions, defenders must play as strikers and cannot leave the final third of the pitch, midfielders must play as defenders and cannot leave the first third of the pitch and strikers must play as midfielders and cannot leave the middle third of the pitch.
