The rules

Rock Paper Scissors

Both players choose at the same time: rock beats scissors, scissors beat paper, and paper beats rock. Identical picks tie and replay. Matches run as best-of-three rounds, so the first to win two rounds takes the match. There is no perfect strategy — it comes down to reading your opponent, mixing your throws, and the nerve to repeat the same move when they least expect it.
