Mercury is a sport where the rules change every five minutes or at the end of a game activity.  There are eighteen different games within mercury divided up into three categories: sport, mod, and game. A sport is a regular sport, a mod is a modified sport, and a game is a children\u2019s game, race, or competitive art event. Play starts with the selection of a sport with a six sided die. After that sport is played, a mod is selected via the dice and played, and then followed by a game. This order is repeated until a team has won five different events and is declared the winner. <\/p>\n
