P.O.S.E Version 4

Welcome to Ancient Greece, where the burgeoning popularity of human statuary has forced the citizens to discover new, inventive ways of posing their bodies.

P.O.S.E is a physical game for 2 or more players. Players play a version of H.O.R.S.E. substituting difficult poses for basketball shots.

Rules:
1. The players stand in a circle, the one who was picked last as a child in gym class going first.
2. Each round, the player going first makes a pose.  This pose can be with their torso, limbs, face, or any other part of their body.
3. The next clockwise player must match the pose, and then move or change the position of a single limb or body part.  This movement should be a clean, single movement.  The player calls out their change.  They have to hold their new pose until it is their turn again.
4. The next player now must match the the pose and/or make each individual change since the last time they posed, and again move or change the position of a single limb.  Your change cannot be a direct inversion of the last change.
5.  Play continues in this way until a player cannot match the prior pose, either by being physically incapable, losing their balance, or by missing an element of the pose.  Players must take their individual turns with all due speed, as if someone else falls on your turn, the circle decides whether they get the letter, or you get it for taking too long.
6. The player that fails to match the pose gains a letter, and the next counter clockwise player starts the next round.
7.  You may only use a specific pose once in any given match.
8. When a player earns all 4 letters (P, O, S, E) they are eliminated from play, and the last player remaining wins!!!
