RPS Lizard Spock
One of the most famous variations of RPS is Lizard Spock, which was popularized by the TV show The Big Bang Theory. In this version, there are five options instead of three. In addition to rock, paper, and scissors, there’s also a lizard and Spock. The lizard is killed by Rock and Scissors (because they crush and cut the lizard respectively), while the Spock defeats both Rock and Scissors (because the Vulcan “live long and prosper” hand gesture looks like scissors, and Spock’s Vulcan nerve pinch can crush a rock).
RPS Water Fire Tree
In this version of RPS, there are four options instead of three. Water extinguishes fire, fire burns tree, tree absorbs water, and each element ties with itself. This version requires a bit more thought because the dynamics are more complex. It’s a game of strategy and nuance, but once you get the hang of it, it can be quite addictive.
RPS Poker
If you’re a poker fan, then this version of RPS is for you. In RPS Poker, each player is dealt five cards from a deck of 52 cards. The cards are then ranked according to poker hand rankings. The player with the best hand wins. If there’s a tie, the players can use RPS to break the tie.
RPS Dynamite
In this version of RPS, there’s a new addition to the game. Dynamite beats rock, paper, and scissors. However, it can only be used once per game, so players have to strategize when to use it. This version adds an element of surprise and unpredictability to the game.
RPS RPG
This version of RPS incorporates role-playing game (RPG) elements into the game. Each player chooses a character with unique abilities and stats. For example, one player could be a warrior with high attack power, while another player could be a mage with powerful magic spells. The players then battle it out using RPS, but their characters’ abilities come into play during the game.
In conclusion, RPS has evolved beyond the classic rock-paper-scissors game that we know and love. These lesser-known versions of the game add new dynamics and elements that make the game more complex and strategic. If you’re getting bored with the classic version, try out one of these variations and battle it out with your friends. Who knows, you might just find a new favorite version of RPS.[ad_2]
