# ROCK PAPER SCISSORS

**Requirements:**

* 2 players

**Gameplay:**

* Both players simultaneously perform a hand gesture on the count of three, often accompanied by the chant "Rock, Paper, Scissors."
* Each player raises one hand in a fist and swings it down on the count.
* The gestures are: Rock (fist), Scissors (middle and index fingers extended), and Paper (flat hand).
* If both players make the same gesture, the game continues. If they choose different gestures, the winner is determined based on the interactions: Rock crushes Scissors, Scissors cuts Paper, and Paper covers Rock.

**Objective:**

* The game involves strategic thinking and anticipation as players engage in a mental duel to outsmart each other.

**Making it More Interesting:**

* Expand the player count by organizing a best 2-out-of-3 tournament.
* Introduce additional elements. According to official Roshambo rules from the Ultimate Players Association:
  * "Fire" and "Water" can be added as special gestures.
  * Fire beats any standard weapon, but a player can use it only once in their entire lifetime.
  * Water can be played at any time but loses to every gesture except fire.
