ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Tamara (play)

Tamara is a type of game that you can play with your friends. It's like a chase game, where one person is "it" and they try to tag the other players. But in Tamara, instead of just running around trying to tag each other, there are some special rules you have to follow.

First, you need to pick a spot to be "home base". This is where all the players start and where they go back to if they get tagged. The person who is "it" starts out at home base too.

Once everyone is ready, the person who is "it" will start counting to a certain number (usually ten) while the other players run and hide. When they're done counting, they yell "Tamara!" and start looking for the other players.

If the person who is "it" sees someone hiding, they can run over and tag them. But, the other players can try to run back to home base before they get tagged. If they make it, they're safe and don't have to be "it".

But there's another catch! Once someone gets tagged, they have to join the person who is "it" and help tag the other players. So, the more people who get tagged, the harder it is for the remaining players to stay safe.

The game keeps going until either everyone gets tagged, or there's one person left who hasn't been tagged yet. Whoever is left at the end gets to be "it" for the next round of Tamara!

So, in summary, Tamara is a fun game where you run around, hide, and try not to get tagged by the person who is "it". But, if you do get tagged, you join forces and try to tag the other players too!
