RPS-5: Birthday Edition!

5/31/2021: Well, it's been just over 18 years since I made my first variants of Rock-Paper-Scissors, inspired by Sam Kass' brilliantly simple yet unnecessarily complicated 5-gesture game, Rock-Paper-Scissors-Spock-Lizard. Today, being not only his birthday but also my brother's, I decided to create this fun little 5-item Birthday Edition of RPS-5!
How would you actually play it? You could simply hold up the amount of fingers corresponding to the five "gestures" listed above, as in 1. Cake, 2. Card, 3. Present, 4. Mouth, and 5. Candle. Or you could use the actual items and make a really big mess at your party. I'll leave this up to you.
Cheers and thanks for continuing to visit umop.com for over two decades. If you think you might enjoy reading a suburban fantasy comedy that takes place in the 1980s, I recently finished my first novel, BEELZEBUDS. As of this writing, there's only a few hand-signed & numbered First Editions still available, so grab one now and behold as its value increases as exponentially as potential RPS-101 chart arrangements. Anyway, thanks again & here's to another few decades of silliness. :-) You can rest assured this website will still look like it was designed in the stone age...
