Muk-jji-ppa
- Muk-jji-ppa*** () is a variant of the two-player game [[rock-paper-scissors]]. It originated in South Korea.
The game starts with an ordinary game of rock-paper-scissors ().
# Once someone wins, they become the attacker and the other player becomes the defender
# The two then rhythmically show either muk (), jji () or ppa ().
# The attacker must shout their move each turn before they make it
# The defender loses if they play the same move as the attacker. The attacker loses if they shout a word that doesn't match the hand sign
