"Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock"

[ghosthunter]

Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock is a five-gesture expansion of the classic selection method game rock-paper-scissors. It operates on the same basic principle, but includes two additional weapons: the lizard (formed by the hand as a sock-puppet-like mouth) and Spock (formed by the Star Trek Vulcan salute). This reduces the chances of a round ending in a tie compared to the more traditional game. The game was originally invented by Sam Kass and Karen Bryla.



Rules
The rules of Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock are as follows:

Scissors cut paper
Paper covers rock
Rock crushes lizard
Lizard poisons Spock
Spock smashes scissors
Scissors decapitate lizard
Lizard eats paper
Paper disproves Spock
Spock vaporizes rock
Rock crushes scissors


There are ten possible pairings of the five gestures, where each gesture beats two of the other gestures and is beaten by the remaining two.

That's awesome (because of the Spock thing)....

Now, will the public adopt this new scheme?

The "in" geeks would probably have this down by now.

It might be confusing initially with the added lizard and spock.
