This is the first book devoted to the history, strategy and culture of a childhood game that has become a global sport. Rock, Paper, Scissors isn't just for playgrounds anymore, it's become part of the club scene as well.
The Walker Brothers show how the influence of Rock, Paper, Scissors on the daily decisions of the world cannot be underestimated and how the strategies illustrated in this book have been used to make decisions from who gets the last slice of pizza, through episodes of The Simpsons, CSI and Sex and the City, all the way to the annual Rock Paper Scissors World Championships.
The Walker Brothers discuss the appeal of Rock Paper Scissors as a decision-making tool and offer a brief comparison with other decision making mechanisms and illustrate gambit plays and some of the skills that a good Rock Paper Scissors player must attain to compete at the highest levels of the sport. The daily applications of this fun, quick and life-directing game are also discussed.
