Janken: Rock-Paper-Scissors

Janken is a popular hand game played in Japan. It's a simple game of chance where two or more players simultaneously form one of three hand shapes: rock, paper, or scissors.

 * Rock (グー, guu): A closed fist.

 * Paper (パー, pā): A flat hand.

 * Scissors (チョキ, choki): Two fingers extended to form a V.

Rules:

 * Rock crushes scissors.

 * Scissors cuts paper.

 * Paper covers rock.

If both players show the same hand shape, it's a tie and they play again.

Example:

 * If Player A shows rock and Player B shows scissors, Player A wins.

 * If both players show paper, it's a tie.


To start a game of Janken, you and your opponent should:

 * Say "Saisho wa guu" (最初はグー): This means "First is rock" and is said while making a fist.

 * Chant "Janken pon!" (じゃんけんぽん!) together.

 * On "pon," both of you should simultaneously reveal your hand gesture: rock, paper, or scissors.


"Aiko" is a Japanese phrase that means "Rock-paper-scissors, it's a tie." It's used when both players show the same hand gesture during a game of Janken (rock-paper-scissors).

When this happens, the players typically say "Aiko desho?" (あいこでしょ?), which means "It's a tie, right?" and then proceed to play another round.
