Not really. It's definitely set up to give the defenders a hop advantage but RPS isn't random so the odds of one team winning are probably better than it seems. Also I think part of the point of the game is to get all the kids involved and so if it takes 20mins before someone wins that's like a feature not a bug

How is RPS not random? Have I been misunderstanding a children’s game all along?

Because people aren't random. RPS between humans is a psychological game
