How to play
- Choose one chaser, the "den". Everyone else runs.
- When the den touches a runner and says "Vish", that runner must freeze on the spot.
- Any free runner can touch a frozen player and say "Amrit" to set them free.
- The den wins when every runner is frozen at the same time.
- The first player who was frozen becomes the next den.
