To start the game, set the boundaries or the playing area and have the pineland and hammock teams go to the opposite ends of the playing area. If they do so, they are killed by the fire. Hammock plants cannot survive fire so even if they touch a fire ball on the ground they are killed. Since pineland plants are fire tolerant, the fire ball does not hurt them at any time. They may also throw the fire ball at hammock plants to kill them, but must throw underhanded and the ball must hit below the waist.
Crown Fires can kill either pineland or hammock plants.
They cannot be killed by anyone. They can only tag to kill. Guarding killed plants is allowed. The team with at least one member still running has won. Crown fires cannot win or lose.
