I suspect change and fluidity are more typical of playground games than any kind of long-term stability in the rules. Linda Hughes's Rooie Rules paper is a nice illustration of the way rules mutate quickly.

They're called the X-Games. It used to be that people made up a dumb game, played it, and that was that. Now they get their own cable channel and an official rulemaking body.

Okay, I'll toss out some remembered school games - maybe others will remember them or younger folks will know of modifications. (most were from middle school and/or high school):

Kill the Carrier
Kaboddi (sp?)
"Cup" baseball
Elimination (basketball)
battle ball (dodge ball)
Towel wrestling
