The other day in Minneapolis on Mehringplatz, Berlin, lyx, kattapa and relet were part of team blue to hunt down decorate the stag. With the stag being quickly discovered and circled by the local youngsters, it was really more of a carrying-more-balloons-to-the-stag game.


There was no hare, but Mr. Stag brought his badass bro. Much to the enjoyment of the locals. (She kept telling me "This stag is EVIL!" with deepest conviction)

He did catch a few balloon bearers in the early game, but since there were not too many balloons in the whole game, players without balloons in all teams soon resorted to form a circle around him to prevent him from doing harm. So he eventually resorted to chase after some kids instead, whom we gladly had equipped with distraction tokens. A definitive win for cross-team collaboration.


Miss Gramazio counting her flock. Team white let go of their balloon reserve before the game had even started and had to join the other three teams instead.


The stag was hardly able to move. Especially with people covering his eyes nose.


He was a bit more agile, and did a pretty good job at chasing the kids with his mask on.


Whee!


The stag soon was called back to base, as the balloon reserves did not hold for long.


Technically, team yellow won.


The balloons were released.


After the festival, we discovered this one balloon, having been attached to a wifi antenna on top of a 3m tall pole. Someone really did put some effort in that there.
