Quick reads
Scissors is the offense's safe call. Its worst case is no gain, and a tie pushes the defense back 5 yards and gives you the down again.
Paper is the offense's big swing. Beat Rock and you get double the dice. But Scissors sacks you for a loss of 5.
Rock on offense is a gamble. Paper takes the ball away, and a tie costs you 5 yards and the down.
Paper is the only defense that can take the ball. But tie with Paper and the defense loses Paper for the rest of the series.
Defense lost Paper? Throw Rock. With no Paper left, the defense can't take the ball away from a Rock.
