This game is great for when there’s a small group of people playing, like 3–5 players. Ties are really annoying in typical RPS…but this is now the shared goal of your team!

Tie it all Together

The rules are simple. Choose three gestures of your liking, they don’t have to be the boring rock-paper-scissor gestures. Here’s an example of what I’d choose:

The name of the game is to be the same! Countdown as you would for the typical RPS game “One…two…three…shoot!” Continue to throw out hand gestures until everyone in the group has the same gesture. For example, everyone holds up a thumbs up.

The upside to this is that there’s a common goal everyone is working towards and is a fun game of trying to think like your friends.

The downside of this is that the more players there are, the much more difficult it becomes to end the game. With more people you can decrease the hand gestures, or if it’s too easy, then increase the hand gestures to choose from! This mod is super easy to mod.
