Capture the Flag

From NerferWiki

Teams: Two or more

Objective: To capture the opposing team's flag and return it to one's own base.

Overview: This game is generally played with two teams, although it is possible to use more. Usually, games have at least some form of respawning system, to allow the game to run longer. Characteristics of a good CTF field include:

Symmetry - to provide a balanced playing field for both teams.

Plenty of cover around both flags - to allow for effective defenses and require at least some form of coordinated effort to achieve a capture.

Multiple routes to the flag - which allows for various tactics to be used.

As an interesting twist on this game, a single central flag may be used in a soccer-like set up, wherein one team captures the flag and takes it instead to the enemy base, as returning it to their own base would merely result in a footrace to the flag.
