The bugle has sounded. The city in daytime drowns in the drone of bankers and shoppers... as dusk descends the streets will come alive, laughing as the flags wave high.
For 90 minutes we'll tear through the city centre, flag on our minds.
The lines have been drawn. Recruit, cajole and press-gang everyone you can. Rules and a map of the playing field coming soon.
DON'T VOTE, PLAY!
'Beyond the field there is nothing'

'Beyond the field there is nothing'
Following an incredibly successful game of Capture the Flag in Leeds last night, with over 200 people turning up, and another game scheduled for Manchester City Centre this evening with over 300 people expected to attend, the time has come for Brighton to join in the movement for Urban Gaming! For a brief two hours, the city centre will be ours. Chaotic, frantic and fast paced. Brace yourself everyone, were in for a rough ride.
