RELEASE THE BELGIUM

EVERYONE HIDES EXCEPT ONE PERSON. WHEN EVERYBODY HAS
HIDDEN, THE ONE PERSON TRIES TO FIND EVERYBODY.
IT IS PLAYED NEAR A FIRE HYDRANT OR SOMETHING LIKE
THAT. IF SOMEBODY HIDDEN RUNS OUT AND TOUCHES IT
SAYING, "RELEASE THE BELGIUM" BEFORE THE OTHER
PERSON CAN, THE "IT" PLAYER MUST HIDE HIS EYES AGAIN.
