How to play and why

When you need to make a fair decision quickly, Rock Paper Scissors, also known as roshambo, is the best way to do it.

There’s a version of the game that includes “lizard” and “Spock.” With a little bit of creativity, this game can be expanded upon and brought into tons of fun directions. Just make sure your opponents are aware of these new rules beforehand, otherwise they will use their perfectly positioned Paper-hand to slap the shit outta you.
