3: Blind Man’s Buff
Blind Man’s Buff: a variation or tig / tag where the one doing the tagging is blindfold.
It goes back centuries, so characters in ancient or medieval style settings could play it.
Having to sneak around a sleeping or blind monster is one of the classic stealth sequences. Probably good for extended stealth rules where one failure by the noisiest party member doesn’t ruin the whole attempt. Check out Black Seven, a small RPG all about sneaking around enemy bases and not making it just a couple of rolls.
See A Quiet Place for an entire post-apocalypse setting about this. And this game would be a way to LARP it!
In a location without trip hazards anyway.
If the PCs are “it”, chasing something they can’t see is another issue again. An invisible enemy, say? Limiting how many chances they get to work out its position do can raise the tension considerably. Of course then you’re playing Battleship more than Blind Man’s Buff. Maybe a time limit to keep things frantic?
