How to Play Sword of the Samurai

A slow-motion exercise. Players' arms are swords with poisonous tips. If a player is touched anywhere other than their arms, they die a slow, agonizing death.

Players must move slowly and deliberately through the room. The facilitator opens the battle: 'Let the battle begin!'

The slow motion adds drama, grace, and comedy. Last samurai standing wins.
