The Infinite Perfect Rock Paper Scissors Game
With the advent of RPS-101, a Rock-Paper-Scissors-like game with more than a hundred (a hundred and one, actually) gestures, humanity has been left asking if that is the limit. Well, I am happy to tell you, it isn't. I present to you, RPS-∞, the game with infinite gestures!

A round of RPS-∞ works like this:
- The players both count aloud to three, each time raising one hand in a fist and swinging it down on their other palm on the count.
- On the third count, each player makes whatever gesture they want, and names it ('Heat Death of the Universe', 'Strawberry Icecream', 'Wu-Tang Clan').
- If both make the same gesture, it's a draw. Otherwise, they discuss what would be the most concise outcome to a match between both items (usually expressed in terms of X verbs Y)
- If the last step ended in confusion or fisticuffs, it's a draw. Go for another round.
