Yun

A traditional street game played by two teams on a grid of pipes drawn with chalk on the asphalt. Defenders stand on the lines and try to tag the attacking team as they attempt to run from one end of the grid to the other and back. The game begins when the lead defender stands with at least one foot in a designated semi-circle and shouts Yun!. If an attacker is tagged, the teams switch roles. (This is a popular Dominican neighborhood game that requires an even number of players).

Mengano: Hey, let's play Yun! What do you think? Perensejo: The thing is there are seven of us, someone will be left out. Mengano: What does it matter?
