First up is rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock. This variation was popularized by the television show, The Big Bang Theory. The rules are similar to the original game, but with two added gestures. The lizard is represented by making a hand gesture with your hand, where your thumb and pinky finger are extended to represent the head and tail, respectively. The Spock gesture is made by extending your hand in a “V” shape, with your fingers parted.
The game works like this: rock crushes scissors, but is covered by paper; paper covers rock, but is eaten by lizard; lizard poisons Spock, but is crushed by rock; Spock vaporizes scissors, but is disproved by paper; and scissors decapitate lizard, but are smashed by rock. This variation might seem complicated at first, but it’s actually a lot of fun and adds some extra thinking to the game.
Next, there’s rock-paper-scissors-fire-water. This game can be played with any number of players and is best played outside on a nice day. To start, everyone stands in a circle and each player picks either fire or water. Fire is represented by making a “gun” shape with your hand and water is made by holding up your fingers to mimic a wave.
The game works like this: fire evaporates water but can be put out by water; water extinguishes fire but can be blocked by an object, like a tree or rock. If both players pick the same element, they can either agree to a tiebreaker round or play rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner.
Last but not least, there’s the extreme rock-paper-scissors game. This game is perfect for those who love a physical challenge. The rules are simple – instead of using hand gestures, each player chooses a physical action, such as jumping, touching your toes, or doing a cartwheel. The players then face each other and perform their chosen action at the same time.
The winner is determined by whoever finishes their action first. This variation is a great way to get active and add some fun to your RPS game.
In conclusion, there are many variations of rock-paper-scissors that can add some excitement and difficulty to the classic game. Whether you’re looking for a mental workout or a physical challenge, there’s a variation out there for you. So, next time you’re playing RPS, why not switch it up and try one of these cool variations? Who knows, you might just find a new favorite game.[ad_2]
