Rock-Paper-Scissors Revealed

Rock-Scissors-Paper. It's one of those so-called "kids' games" that has become emblematic of how profound a so-called kids' game might be.

I wrote about it in this article on more variations and applications of Rock Scissors Paper.

I recently received a children's strategy game for review. Called "Sizzletoad," it's a combination of Rock-Scissors-Paper and Tic Tac Toe. And then I checked Board Game Geek to discover that there is an entire category of games built around the "Rock-Scissors-Paper mechanic."

And even more recently I learned of an article that investigates the remarkable strategic depth of the game.

And it's fun, too.
