When teams are placing their flags spies can be sent out to see where the flag is located - and look-outs can be sent out to catch the spies. If someone has the flag and he is tagged - the person goes to jail and the flag is returned to it’s original location.

The only way out of jail is to be tagged again by one of your teammates. If you are caught (tagged) by the opposite team you have to go to their jail. The team members left behind guard their flag. Send part of the team to “enemy territory” to capture their flag. The flags team may not enter this circle unless the other team enters first.
