Janken (Japanese Rock-Paper-Scissors)

Face your opponent and chant the counting rhyme together to set a shared rhythm.

On the final beat, everyone shows one hand shape at once: a closed fist for rock, a flat hand for paper, or two fingers for scissors.

Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock.

If both players show the same shape, the round is a tie and is replayed immediately.

For group elimination rounds, players who lose step aside while winners face off against each other.

Keep playing best-of-three or single rounds to settle disputes, decide turn order, or choose who goes first in another game.
