Suicide, also known as wall ball, is a game typically played by children and teenagers. The rules vary widely from place to place; those given below are not necessarily a "standard" form of the rules. Setup Suicide requires at least two players, and can have as many as can be accommodated by the playing area. The playing area comprises a hard surface, such as concrete, and a large, flat wall, and is usually outdoors. The game also requires a rubber ball or a tennis ball. Suicide may be played in teams, but is most commonly played individually. Gameplay The object of the game is to be the last remaining player. To stay in the game, players have to avoid being "pegged" out. When the game begins, a player throws the ball against the wall. If the ball bounces off the wall and then hits the ground, other players are free to grab the ball and re-throw it. If the ball is caught by another player before it hits the ground, the player who threw the ball must run and touch the wall. Until the player touches the wall, they are "open" to be "pegged" (i.e., struck hard with a thrown ball) by the player who caught it. If a player comes into contact with the ball but fails to catch it, they are also "open" to be "pegged". Note: for games featuring more sensitive players, it may be acceptable, instead of pegging a player who is open to get them out, to throw the ball at the wall before the player "tags up" (touches the wall). The no-pegging rule must be stated before the game begins. If someone is pegged with the ball when the no-pegging rule is in effect, then it would be the same as if the player had simply missed the wall on the return and they must touch the wall. Frankford rules In the lower northeast of Philadelphia "Sui" as it was called had a variation on the standard rules. Typically played with a tennis ball or racquetball for "higher stakes" it was preferred to play against a stone wall with better angles and texture to randomize the direction of the ball on the impact. Also using the cement steps up to the row home was acceptable as well. Once the ball was thrown there were several options If the ball was caught without bouncing with
