Pivot (Swivel/Barn Door) – Rather than Tag Out and Tag Back In, the Pivot allows two scenes to happen without players having to leave stage. For example, Player 1 is telling Player 2 all about his success in last night’s date. Player 3 enters stage on the other side of Player 1 from Player 2 to initiate a look into the actual date. Player 1 can pivot between scenes from his central position – turning to Player 3 to do the date scene and then turning back to Player 2 to continue exalting his date prowess. Players 2 and 3 do not have to leave stage when they’re not in play, they just have to remain frozen or neutral.
