I still defend that as the best name in English. Rock needs to go first. Rock beats Scissors beats Paper. It's the most straightforward order.
Rock loses to Paper loses to Scissors

Some of the extensions would need polyhedral dices:
With Oca/Snakes and Ladders and such, the outcome it's the same with 0, 1 and N players. You just throw a dice and watch the events.
Because even a paper and pen racing game with vectors can be more fun than Oca without any special slots to fall into.
Some people find comfort this way, sometimes it's the only way to get through
I was not expecting such an elegant way to deal with PvP in an analog action solitaire game, excellent!!
if you don't have dice, use a coin, heads beats whatever you choose, tails loses to it. then, quicker if you don't choose, heads you lose, tails you win.
with the coin you don't get ties, but ties you just shoot again so it hardly disturbs the outcome of the game.
bigger genius.
For example: 23+42 (or 2+3+4+2 if that's easier for you to do, the result will be the same) = 65 → 6+5 = 11 → 1+1 = 2, rock.
Great to fall asleep, given how boring the game must be. I use that dice system in bed but in a RPG game (1 = "No, and also..."; 2,3,4 = "No"; 5 = "Yes, but..."; 6,7,8 = "Yes"; 9 = "Yes, and also...").
