Spock vaporises Rock

The winner is the first player to win a pre-decided number of rounds -usually the best out of three.

Enjoy.

@a person True dat! it would be so fun to try and do that!

shakila on 02 January 2013 at 23:16

looks likes a good game but hard to remember all the rules.

a person on 21 December 2012 at 22:08

This is great! The only thing that would make it better is if the

outcomes were written in the order that Sheldon says them so

that we could copy the legendary Dr. Cooper when we explain it

to friends.
