I was going to make up "gun" and "marijuana" because these American Sign Language hand signals are commonly known, and they look different than RPS lizard, and Spock. I working with the relationships between the objects, but since there were 90 ways to graph it it might have taken a while to get the right solution. Glad to see someone already did.

It's worth noting that the 101 gesture version includes a number of two-handed gestures whereas all the other versions by this author are exclusively one-handed gestures.

<p>It's possible to create a version with arbitrarily large number of signs. And a similar game is Odds and Evens: one player takes odds, and the other takes evens, and then each chooses a number. If the total is even, then the player who took evens wins, and if it's odd then the player who took odds wins.</p>

<p>In the classic 'Rock-Paper-Scissors' players choose between 3 possible actions.  I'm looking for a variant with as many actions as possible.</p>
<p>One popular alternative that uses 5 possible actions is '<a href="http://www.samkass.com/theories/RPSSL.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock</a>'.</p>

In the classic 'Rock-Paper-Scissors' players choose between 3 possible actions. I'm looking for a variant with as many actions as possible.

One popular alternative that uses 5 possible actions is '[Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock](http://www.samkass.com/theories/RPSSL.html)'.

**Is there any variant that uses more hand signals?**
