Here is the new version of rock-paper-scissors, or rochambeau, as it is sometimes known. As you can see from the schematic below, each thing can beat two other things, and is, in turn beaten by two other things.
The players both count to five (three), though it is obviously better to repeat the name of the game (Monkey! Robot! Pirate! Ninja! Zombie!). Each time you raise your fist and swing it down. On the fifth (third) count, you form your hand into one of the five gestures. (It is recommended that in addition to the hand gesture, you also add an aural component to this — see below for suggested noises.)

OK. I’ll give this one props. But, I still like Rock, Paper, Scissors, Spock, Lizard.
Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock!
Well, first I kick you in the nuts as hard as I can, then you kick me in the nuts as hard as you can, and we keep going back and forth until somebody falls. The last one standing wins.
Sounds like a good time.

I don’t understand the rationale.
Why does monkey beat ninja?
You obviously haven’t read the awesome comic “Hit-Monkey”. Then you would know….
It was originally cowboy-pirate-ninja, but someone decided they had to make it more complex.
since the “attacks” are interchangeable you could simply change the game to match your own experiences =)
Game-Title could use a “…from Outerspace” but otherwise great variation THE game
