Rock Paper Scissors Word

Description

Rock Paper Scissors Word is a simple game, based on the finger game rock paper scissors, on the children's card game War, and on word spelling. It includes: 32 cards (10 each of Rock, Paper, and Scissors, and 2 Sneaky Bear wild cards) 20 letter tokens (enough to spell ROCK PAPER SCISSORS, plus an extra AE and a T) The letter tiles are mixed face down, and the cards are shuffled and dealt among all players, kept in a face-down stack. In their turn, a player challenges each other player by each revealing their top card. Whoever wins according to Rock-Scissors-Paper takes a token from the center. If it's a tie, the current player turns a center tile face up instead. The Sneaky Bear beats Rock and Scissors and Paper, and lets the winner take any token, either from the center or from another player. A player wins immediately if the have the letters to spell ROCK or PAPER or SCISSORS. Otherwise, after all the tokens are claimed, players spell words using their letters won, scoring 1 point per letter used in a word, minus 1 for each letter not used; the highest score wins.
