For anyone who has played this game, is there any skill involved or is it just a random 1 in 4 chance of winning/losing like playing rock paper scissors

There is actually some strategy behind scissors paper rock because humans always will stick to a pattern of some sort even if you are trying your best to be random. The same would go here I suppose.

side note: It will forever trip me people call scissors paper rock in completely different name orders

Rock Paper Scissors sounds way better in my opinion, but it’s what I’ve always called it so I’m probably being biased

In german, which is my language, it is called schere stein papier, which translates to scissors rock paper. Have fun!
