Rock-paper-scissors is the structure where every option beats something and loses to something else: no choice dominates, and the winner is whoever reads the opponent best. In board games it appears as a triangle of units, cards or actions, and it holds up combat duels as well as family bluffing games. It is a mechanism for short plays, with an average length around 45 minutes and an entry age near 10.
What surrounds it makes the difference. F.A.T.A.L. is the 40-minute game for 3 to 5 players, age 10 and up. Kardashev Scale runs about half an hour for up to 6. Skull King: Pacchetto di Espansione extends a trick-taking and bidding game from age 8, in Italian. Pyramid Arcade is a box of pyramids holding dozens of different games, from age 5, for 1 to 10 players. Philosophia: Dare to be Wise is the long one of the list, at two hours.
uplay.it lists over 80 rock-paper-scissors games available to order, with Sirlin Games and Plaid Hat Games among the most represented publishers, in Italian and English.
