Mirror Mayhem

Mirror Mayhem
Remote or in person

Copy your partner exactly. Then the leader changes without warning.

Pairs mirror each other's movements, slowly at first, and you call SWITCH without warning so the follower becomes the leader mid-gesture. The last round removes the leader entirely and asks them to move together anyway, which is where it stops being a game and starts being interesting.
