The Rules

The game starts by both players making fists and then pumping them up and down in front of each other.

On the third down stroke, each player moves their fingers to make a rock, paper or scissors.

· Rock is a clenched fist
· Paper is an open hand
· Scissors is a hand with index and middle fingers making a V

The winner is determined by:

· Scissors cuts Paper - Scissors win
· Paper covers Rock - Paper wins
· Rock breaks Scissors - Rock wins

Two of them same are considered a tie.
