Instead of playing Rock-Paper-Scissors (Roshambo) the old fashioned way, try the Rock Lizard app!
As in traditional Rock-Paper-Scissors, this game requires two players. Both players download the app and enable Bluetooth. Once each player is ready, press the Connect button and find each other.
To play, hold your device in portrait mode, and pick a weapon from the spinning wheel. The wheel prevents others from guessing the selection. Wait for your opponent to do the same. Both players simultaneously lay the device in a horizontal position to see the winner. Tap the screen to play again.
Press the round button next to Connect button to switch between Rock-Paper-Scissors and Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock game formats.
If only one player has an iOS device, Rock Lizard may be used by one person while the other player uses his/her hands.
Make sure to trash to use heavy trash talk!
**The scoreboard only updates if players are connected. It can be reset in the Rock Lizard’s settings screen or by a long press on the scoreboard itself.

There are ten possible pairings of the five gestures; each gesture beats two of the other gestures and is beaten by the remaining two. As with the original rock-paper-scissors game, if two players pick the same gesture, it is a tie. The original rules (rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, paper beats rock) still remain the same.
