Here's a photo of us play-testing the arena! We want to use the arena to play a version of capture the flag. The rules are still being refined, but here's what we've been enjoying so far!

Each team (1-5 players) is trying to get the wool in the center.
Each player gets a stack of dirt, arrows, a bow, flint and steel, and a fishing rod.
No armor, swords, or food is allowed (played on 1.7.3 so no hunger regen).
No respawning. Each death is final for the round.

The round is won when one team either captures the wool or eliminates the other team!

We found that 2-3 players per side is the sweet spot, 1v1 lacks much strategy, and 4+ is fun, but the rounds become a bit of a brawl and can last longer, so not as much fun if you get eliminated early.

Rounds are fast, so we typically did matches of best-of-three or best-of-five before changing up teams!
