Bouchi
Bouchi is a two-team village game in which one side has to bring its 'bou' (bride) home without her being touched by the other side.
Era: 90s & 2000s
What it was like
The bou waits in a far-off box. Her teammates rush out on a held breath to chase the opponents away, and when a gap opens, the bou makes a run for it.
The rules change a little from place to place, but the shouting and laughter are the same everywhere.
Questions
