Everyone knows how to play rock, paper, scissors, right? In this game, the Giants crush the Wizards, the Wizards attack the Elves and the Elves bite the ankles of the Giants and bring them down. The way to play is to line up opposite your opponent and together count “1-2-3-Go!” and on “Go”, both of you represent the chosen character. Giants raise their hands above their heads to smash and roar. Wizards extend their hands as if shooting lightning and laugh like maniacs. Elves crouch on the ground while pretending to bite, claw and scream in a high-pitched voice.
