Mob football distinguished itself from other codes by typically having an unlimited number of players and fairly vague rules. By some accounts, any means could be used to move the ball to a goal, as long as it did not lead to manslaughter or murder


Imagine using tag skills while playing?

I found it while scanning wikipedia on lunch and checked dates. Seems, even prior to King Arthur have people been kicking a round leather ball around

We did a cabertoss at the Grand Kormyrian games awhile back.  If I recall, Chris Kane's kid almost got hit with one...

I was honestly just thinking the other day about the hilarity of playing a pick-up football game with a large group of people in garb.  I think it would be awesome. :)

It's not OOG if we use, say, a severed head or something. Right? We can call it Ogreball!

Or any variant of the highland games. Caber toss, Sheaf toss, haggis eating contests... golf... etc.
