Rules
The game involves the same device of a competitive scramble for chairs, but restructures the play elements to provide a different game experience.
A set of chairs, one less than the number of players, is arranged in a circle. One player is initially designated as "it." "It" stands in the middle of the circle; all other players sit in the chairs. In each round of play, "it" calls out any sentence, beginning with the words "A cold wind blows," that refers to one or more players. For example:
- "A cold wind blows for anyone wearing blue."
- "A cold wind blows for anyone whose name begins with 'D'".
- "A cold wind blows for anyone in fifth grade."
All of the players for whom the cold wind blows—that is, players that fall into the named category—must vacate the chair that they are in and attempt to find another seat. At the same time, "it" attempts to sit in a chair. When all chairs are occupied, the person who failed to get a chair becomes "it" for the next round.

Famous quotes containing the word rules:
“Today the tyrant rules not by club or fist, but, disguised as a market researcher, he shepherds his flocks in the ways of utility and comfort.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“Let’s start with the three fundamental Rules of Robotics.... We have: one, a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. And three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“The five kings count the dead but do not soften
The crusted wound nor stroke the brow;
A hand rules pity as a hand rules heaven;
Hands have no tears to flow.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
