## What is Waribashi?

Waribashi (Chopsticks) is a turn-based strategy game played with your fingers — simple to learn, surprisingly deep to master.

HOW TO PLAY
Each player starts with one finger raised on each hand. On your turn, choose to Attack or Split:
- Attack: Tap an opponent's hand with yours to add your fingers to theirs. Any hand that reaches 5 or more is out!
- Split: Redistribute fingers between your own hands. You can even revive a hand that's been knocked out.
Eliminate both of your opponent's hands to win!

3 GAME MODES
- Local Battle: Play against a friend on the same device
- VS CPU: Take on the AI across 4 difficulty levels — Easy, Normal, Hard, and Perfect
- Online Match: Challenge players around the world in real-time

RULE VARIATIONS
- Standard: Classic rules
- Rollover: Hands that exceed 5 wrap around — only exactly 5 is out
- Optional: Allow or restrict splits that return to the same hand state
