Two teams of two players take turns fielding and batting. There are two wickets which are license plates, with one fielder behind and one batter in front of each wicket. One of the fielding team's players throws the ball to the batter at the opposite wicket, who may then try to hit it. The fielding team's goal is to bowl the batter out by knockingover the wicket with the ball. Batters run between the wickets to score runs, with one run scored for each swap of the batters, though they can be gotten out if a fielder runs them out by hitting a wicket with the ball while they are away from it. The batting team switches with the fielding team once their batters have gotten out three times, with the team that is first to 12 runs winning the game.
