Tips & Warnings
You must answer every shout of "Marco" that you hear.
You cannot get out of the pool to escape being tagged. If Marco thinks someone has gotten out of the pool, he or she shouts, "Fish out of water!" A player outside the pool when this is called becomes the new Marco.
Only play in a pool with a lifeguard or responsible adult watching.

I've only ever seen this played on the Sims games. If you play it in a public pool, everyone gets mad. And I live in England, so people having actual pools in their gardens or whatever is about as common as flesh eating ducks.

Don't you love how Americans just do nothing but complain all the time. Maybe we should send them all to Serbia.
