One person stands in the middle and starts telling a story about a stagecoach. As parts of the stagecoach are mentioned, the person assigned that part jumps up, runs around their chair, and sits back down.

At some point, the storyteller says "stagecoach", at which point everyone must trade places with someone else. The storyteller joins in, and tries to steal someone's chair. The person left without a chair then continues telling the story.
