A beautiful and fun version of Rock Paper Scissors. Great for making random decisions! The game's objective is to defeat the opponent (computer) by selecting an object that defeats the opponent's object. Rock beats scissors, scissors beat paper, and paper beats rock. If both players choose the same object, the game is a tie.
