How to Play

Classic rules
Rock crushes scissors, scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock. Same move on both sides is a draw.
Lizard & Spock
Two extra moves, so draws are rarer. Lizard eats paper and poisons Spock; Spock smashes scissors and vaporises rock; rock also crushes lizard, paper is disproved by Spock, and scissors decapitates lizard.
Keyboard
R rock, P paper, S scissors, and in the bigger game L lizard and K Spock.
Fair vs Sharp
Fair picks completely at random, so it's a pure 50/50 over time. Sharp remembers what you tend to play after each of your own moves and tries to counter it.
How to beat Sharp
Be unpredictable — which is harder than it sounds! People repeat moves, or deliberately avoid repeating, and both are patterns. If you play genuinely randomly, even the Sharp computer can do no better than break even.
