How about, "Taser, Ice Pick and Shotgun Blast?"

;)

So, how many names and variations of Rock, Paper Scissors is there?
Just out of curiosity,
I found all of these:


Japanese= jankenpon or Jankenpyon

Korea=Kai bai bo

Thailand= Janjii




In China janken is the same as in Korea, except that sometimes guu is 'hammer' and paa is 'bomb'.

In India and Indonesia, and on Bali, janken is played with elephant, human and ant, where elephant beats human and human beats ant.

Cantonese people of China play gosukumi. The symbols are god, chicken, gun, fox, and termite. God is the thumb, chicken the index finger, gun the middle finger, fox the ring finger, and termite the little finger.

The Malaysian 'Wan Shi Zan' janken is connected with this gosukumi. In this janken, pistol defeats everything except water, and bird loses to everything except water. Stone defeats bird and plank, and loses to pistol and water. Plank defeats bird and water, loses to stone and pistol. Water defeats stone and pistol. Bird loses to plank.


The game becomes differnt in other places as well...insted of Rock, Paper Sissors it looks like this:

Myanmar- General, Soldier Tiger

Malaysia- Rock, Bud Water

Vietnam- Hammer, Paper Sissors

Laos- Hammer, nail Cloth

Russia-Rock Scissors Paper Well

France-Rock Scissors Leaf Well

Other variations of the game:

Rock Scissors Paper Dynamite
Rock Scissors Paper Fire Water
