KING OF THE CASTLE

Source: Outdoor Sports and Games
Category: ONE HUNDRED OUTDOOR GAMES



This can be made a very rough game, as it simply consists in a player
taking a position on a mound or hillock and defying any one to
dislodge him from his position by the taunting words:

"_I'm the King of the Castle,_
_Get down you cowardly rascal._"

The rest try to shove him from his position and to hold it
successfully against all comers themselves. The game, if played
fairly, simply consists in fair pulls and pushes without grasping
clothing, but if played roughly it is almost a "free-for-all" fight.
