- Deadly sock
Deadly sock is a multi-purpose game variant in which certain
game mechanic s (chiefly the "tag" mechanism") are replaced with a "deadly sock" mechanic.

Game Play
The deadly sock is a tagging device comprised of a single tube
sock filled with a small amount of flour. The flour is placed in the toe of the sock; the sock is then gripped by the leg hole and wielded as a flail. Striking a player with any part of the deadly sock has the same effect as tagging them.
