Red Rover was SUCH a completely different game where I grew up.

There were two teams on opposite sides of a yard/field/abandoned-lot-full-of-broken-things. The team would all either link arms, or grab each other's arms/hands. One team would yell out a Rover to come over from the opposite team and that person would have to try to break through the line of linked arms. If they broke it, they got to take a person from the opposite team back with them. If they didn't break it, they had to join the opposite team. The winners were usually whichever team had the most members when everyone had to go home for dinner.

This game usually resulted in bloody noses, air being forced out of lungs & the little wimpy kids being called out as the Rover repeatedly.

heheh...strange how I never thought of it before, but yeah, I guess every little group would have it's own rules. :D
