More strategy than you'd think
Rock paper scissors looks like pure chance, but between humans there is a genuine layer of strategy, because people are not truly random — they fall into patterns, favour certain throws, and react predictably after winning or losing, which skilled players learn to read and exploit. This is why there are actual competitive tournaments and studied strategies. Against a computer that plays randomly, though, no strategy helps, since a random opponent cannot be predicted or outguessed, making it a genuinely fair fifty-fifty-ish game. The game is a brilliant fair decider precisely because it feels more active and fun than a coin flip while being similarly impartial, which is why it settles disputes worldwide, from children's playgrounds to adults avoiding a chore. Whether you play for the quick fun of it, to settle something fairly, or to appreciate the surprising psychology that emerges when humans play each other, rock paper scissors packs a lot into three simple choices.
