Showing my age here but just curious if anyone else played blindmans buff as a kid?

From what I remember it was mostly bulldog's charge, beat the letter and heads and volleys

We used to play this in a big double garage, packed with an old Triumph Stag, tools scattered everywhere, weight plates, benches the lot. And somehow, that wasn’t even the worst part.
We switch all the lights off so it was pitch black no one could see a thing, so everyone was basically blind. Then we have one blind man wearing boxing gloves.
The thrill was insane, just can’t believe how terrible it was and dangerous. His parents stopped it once things started to break.

I once put my hoody on backwards with my hood up over my face and pretended I was playing blind man’s buff by myself. Jumped for the sofa and missed completely and winded myself when I landed flat on the floor. I was a moron.

My dad did, but went through a bush into a wall and knocked his two front teeth out. He's had to have fake ones ever since. Obviously I was never allowed but I don't remember anyone wanting to play it anyway - I'm mid 30s
