    When I grew up, it was “below waist level” and resulted in a free punch to the shoulder, but there weren’t any of the other rules.

    (Edit: wait, I forgot that if you flinch, the puncher gets to go again)

      It probably also was below waist level back in the days. I don’t remember it exactly anymore. But it probably changed over time because everyone kept protesting with “eye level!” when it was too high.

      Punishment for flinching is great xD

        Yep, below the waistline and “2 for flinching” were standard around my parts.
