Entourage
How we’ll play:
Group members play “rock, paper, scissors” against each other. The loser of the “rock, paper, scissors” then becomes a part of the winners “entourage” and follows them (and cheers for them) as they play against others. The game keeps going until there's only one person remaining and everyone is in the same “entourage”
Introduce yourself to each other before you play “rock, paper, scissors”
