Rock, Paper, Scissors


This game has been around for ages and I just want to talk a little about how great it is. If there is ever a need for a quick decision to be made (i.e. who gets up to get something, who has the last of something, who is the better person) all of this can easily be decided in a matter of seconds with a quick game, obviously best 2 out of 3. For those of you that are a little slow the best 2 out of 3 term means whoever wins 2 boughts of rock paper scissors out of 3 games.

Ok now to the fun psychological portion of the game. If you want to stomp beginners at rock paper scissors remember this, always through rock first. You might be wondering why, well that is because rock beats scissors and seeing as scissors is the last item of the three said while playing most beginners will through that first. That makes for an easy 1 towards your 2.

The real tricky part is you have to wonder, does my opponent know this fun fact and will they through paper (which undoubtably beats rock) foiling your 1 victory and allowing them the upper hand (pun intended).

After winning or losing the first bought the rest is up to luck, more or less. So when it comes time to tango in the art of hand battle choose wisely and choose quickly because there is no hesitating in rock paper scissors, or second guessing.
