Rock, Paper, Scissors with a Twist

Overview

It is Rock, Paper, Scissors, with a few extra rules.

Everybody goes around challenging other people to Rock, Paper, Scissors.

There are restrictions on who you can challenge.

This game may be important to know later on this week.

How to start

Everyone starts out as an egg:

Eggs can only challenge other eggs. Eggs have to move around like eggs: by

rolling!

Challenging other people

When you find another egg, first introduce yourself.

Next, play a Rock, Paper, Scissors until somebody wins.

The person who lost remains an egg and keeps on challenging other eggs; the person who won becomes a chicken:

Continuing on

Now the chicken must move like a chicken and only challenge other chickens.

When a chicken loses, he/she become an egg again. When a chicken wins, he/she become a dinosaur:

Continuing on

Dinosaurs move like dinosaurs and challenge other dinosaurs. When a dinosaur loses, he/she becomes a chicken. When a dinosaur wins, he/she becomes a prince/princess:

Continuing on

Finally, when princes/princesses challenge each other, the loser becomes a dinosaur, and the winner becomes a king/queen:

Continuing on

Kings and queens do not challenge other kings and queens – instead, they stand up, looking regal, and waving to their subjects.

The game continues until there are too many kings and queens, or time us up.
