Tug Of War: Sport in which two teams pull on opposite ends of a rope
Tug of war is a game played by both children and adults, using a rope.
A pit of mud can also be used with the rope. The players organize into two teams, and grab on to one side of the rope each. The goal of the game is to pull the other team into the mud pit, or over a marked boundary, like a stick.
