	Rock-Paper-Scissors Button Game
		The essential nature of the game is that each gesture is superior to one other gesture, and inferior to another.
		There's not a lot of strategy, but the game is strangely addictive, and since it's not just a matter of chance, it's actually useful for deciding between even sides in a dispute.
		The game continues for a set period of time (for instance, until the end of the party), or until one player possesses all of the buttons.

		Despair - This isn't a game, this is stupid.
		The key to this game is that scissors are passed closed if your legs (or even ankles) are crossed and open if uncrossed.
		Other variations of this game theme are common, where different objects work as the "scissors" with the same solution, or with slightly different solutions.

		Games for honour can be substituded at any point after the conclusion of a match as long as is agreed upon by all players involved before the beginning of the next match.

		Mathematically optimal play (according to game theory) is a simple matter of selecting randomly, and so the game may be considered trivial in that sense when played in a way that eliminates psychology, as with a computer.
		A game option which is "greater" than another is closer to being optimal, but such a notion does not exist in Rock, Paper, Scissors: The relation used to determine which throws defeat which is non-transitive.
		In other shows, mischeivious characters are often able to "win" the game by deploying new objects which beat all the others and are subsequently able to convince their slow-witted competitor that deploying the new object is a legitimate move.

	Game Theory
		They say "life is a game." What this metaphor means, is that in life there are rules, and your role is to play by the rules, attempting to maximize your gains and minimize your losses.
		When you utter the phrase "life is a game," it is usually in response to some dissatisfaction with the rules such as a personal setback, and is a way of distancing yourself from the emotional impact or the reality of things.
		Game theory is one approach, since values can be assigned to the outcomes, and can also be assigned to the probability that one choice would be made over another.

	Straight Dope Staff Report: What's the origin of "Rock, Paper, Scissors"?
		As is the case with most games that are primarily played by children, the exact time and place when the game was invented are unknown.
		Walker claims that the earliest known written record of the game is from around 200 BC in Japan, where the game was (and is) referred to as "Jan-Ken." I found the existence of the Japanese version of the game corroborated elsewhere, although I have yet to find any corroboration for the 200 BC claim.
		It is believed that the game spread to the rest of Portugal in the 3rd century BC and to the rest of the Spanish peninsula over the next 50 years.

	BBC NEWS \| Magazine \| Scissors, paper, stone - a strategic game
		The ability of scissors to cut paper has doubtless had all kinds of effects on the history of art, but surely none odder than in Tokyo last month.
		Sotheby's reluctantly accepted this as a 50/50 game of chance, but Christie's asked the experts, Flora and Alice, 11-year-old daughters of the company's director of Impressionist and modern art, and aficionados of the game.
		The trick with this game - an elaborate version of noughts and crosses - is in what the experts call "holes": the gaps at the end of your row of three that you need to fill with your "coin" in order to win.

		As the kind of people who do play these sort of games would either be a quick game from a person working, or a young child.
		It doesn't need to be much ai, just enough for instance when I have chose scissors for ages and each time it was a tie, for the next one the computer choses is paper is just dumb for about everyone, or doubly smart with a dumb person.

	Rock Paper Scissors Strategy Guide
		It's the game of Rock Paper Scissors (sometimes called Jan Ken Pon), a game with which we are all likely very familiar with but probably haven't tried to fully understand much less play competitively.
		The idea was to utilize pre-chosen "runs" of three throws each (a throw is a declaration of rock, paper or scissors) that would be played regardless of whatever their opponent may choose at random.
		Now with players implementing a playing structure to their games, it seemed time to construct a format in which this form of play could be accentuated.

		However, this might be a game where the designations of "rock, paper, scissors" alters how human beings feel about the choices, which subtly alters their expectations of what other players will do, which then alters their own strategies.
		Christie's certainly deserved to have their scissors crushed by the strength of the mighty rock but Sotheby's tried to be too cute and met the fate of all un-seasoned paper firsters.
		In this game, paper is a loser throw, and scissors strongest, but many a pencil was thrown for the sheer novelty of it.

		I beleive the players played hundreds of games against each other, and to make things interesting there were some dummy players entered that intentionally used strategies that could be detected and exploited by their opponents.
