Pick A Card

Rock Paper Scissors ... cards?! Yeah, we went there. After all, you don't want to risk getting rock-paper-scissors elbow from playing too much. So if you're one of the lucky few who've received our cards, we've got some awesome games for you to play when you aim to have some quick fun.

Classic Duel: Grab a friend. Each of you takes a card without revealing its face, and then you throw down. Paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, and scissors beats paper — it's as simple as that. Play a quick set of two or three rounds and enjoy the lovely finger painting.

Battle Royale: Split the deck with a friend. Each player puts down a card. Whoever has the winning card of the two takes both cards and places them in a pile. When you've run out of cards in your stack, take the cards you've won and shuffle. Keep playing. The player who takes the entire deck wins. Don't have time for that. Then call it quits when a player has the most cards in the deck.

Secret Origins

Here's the part where we bring you a bit of knowledge. Rock Paper Scissors, or roshambo, originated in another galaxy when a lone scientist placed his newborn son into a rocket — oh, that's not right. The folks at Straight Dope say there's a lot of theories about where the game comes from. Some say it was invented around 200 B.C. in Japan. That's not the only one. Others say it comes from Africa, while some say it was Europe. Maybe it did originate in another galaxy!
