Players move around the room. When the facilitator calls one of three words, players must quickly form pairs and strike a pose:
- Knights: One player kneels, the other stands behind with an imaginary sword raised
- Horses: One player bends forward (the horse), the other sits on their back (the rider)
- Cavaliers: One player lifts the other in a bridal carry pose
The last pair to form their pose is out. The game continues until only one pair remains.
