Rock Paper Scissor on Steroids.

If rock-paper-scissor is too simple for you, then you can try David Lovelace’s RPS-15, with 1.3 trillion permutation and 105 possible outcomes. Still too simple, try RPS-25 with 15.5 octillion permutations and 300 outcomes. Link

    [...] Holy CR-P! You can’t stop geeks from ruining the simplest of games, like Rock Paper Scissors, can you? (In Singapore, it’s called Scissors Paper Stone, but that’s just semantics, after all.) First, you have the “World RPS Society’s” gambits for competitive RPS, otherwise known as three-step strategies for winning the game.And, if that’s not enough for you, you can try RPS-15, which is the game with 15 hand signs, giving you 1.3 trillion permutations, or RPS-25, for 15.5 octillion permutations.

    Sweet. I like this. It might take me awhile to learn though.
