What are the main Squid Game rules?

The main rules of the show's titular game, Squid Game, involve two teams (offense and defense) on a squid-shaped court, with attackers hopping on one foot outside the lines and defenders on two feet inside, aiming to reach and tap the squid's head while the defense tries to push them out or eliminate them by forcing them out of bounds, with attackers leveling up to use two feet after passing the waist, and the ultimate goal for attackers being to touch the head after entering the body, while defenders win by forcing attackers out or to the ground. The core principle across all games is deadly competition, often with unfair advantages or time limits, leading to elimination (death) for failure, as seen in "Red Light, Green Light" (move on green, freeze on red) or "Mingle" (form groups in time).
