Tossing same gestures results in a tie, and you have to try again. Rock wins over scissors scissors wins over paper and, paper wins over rock. You win, lose or draw depending on what gesture you used versus your opponent. Scissors – index and middle fingers extended.The players make the gesture after uttering the last word of the chant. Fists should not touch each other the motion being performed entirely up and down in the air in front of each other. The fists come down each time a word is said. The opposing players move their fists up and down three times while shouting a pre-agreed chant. This is a game where two opponents toss out hand gestures. In English, they call it Rock-Paper-Scissors or RPS for short. During my childhood days, we call it sambara, although we also call it jack–en-poy because of the chant we use while playing it. It is a simple game with many names and variations. And of course, we broke their streak when we pitted them against one another! They claimed there is a secret behind their winning streak. I had three grade school classmates who were very good at winning the Rock-Paper Scissors game: Henry Lovitos, Reynaldo Idea and James Asahan. When we were kids, this is the game we played to determine who will go first inside a dark room or who will get the last piece of candy. When playing team sports (like tigso, softball, or basketball), we used it to group ourselves into opposing teams (one group consists of all the losers and the other group, all the winners).
