Kick the can! That brought back fond memories. Our then neighbor would mow his back field so it was nice for
us kids to play what ever games we chose. He was such an awesome old guy. We played all kinds of games in
that field, one of which was KtC.
I didn't remember the rules and watching the video didn't stir anything remotely familiar in ye olde memory banks either, haha. I just remember having loads of fun playing that game.
