How to Play Monkey-Pirate-Robot-Ninja-Zombie

Lee Andrew Henderson
For years friends, family and co-workers have used the game rock, paper, scissors to decide which one of them is going to be stuck with some task that nobody wants to do. Rock, Paper Scissor was a great game a few decades ago but it's time for an upgrade. There is a new version of Rock, Paper Scissors taking the world by storm called Monkey-Pirate-Robot-Ninja-Zombie.

The rules of Monkey-Pirate-Robot-Ninja-Zombie are the same as Rock, Paper, Scissors. At the count of three each person makes a gesture with their hand that represents one of the choices and the winner depends on who picked the option that defeats the others.

In order to play Monkey-Pirate-Robot-Ninja-Zombie you must first know all of the correct hand gestures.
Monkey - Take your two middle fingers and fold them toward your hand while holding up the index finger and pinky as if they were ears.
Robot - Simply make a vertical fist as if you were a robot choking or crushing something.
Pirate - To use the pirate hand gesture just make a gun with your index finger and thumb.
Ninja - The motion for ninja is to hold your hand open like a karate chop.
Zombie - To choose zombie hold your hand out open like a zombie reaching for its victim's brains.

Next anybody that plays Monkey-Pirate-Robot-Ninja-Zombie will have to know which choices defeats the others. There are five options to choose from, which means that each choice will be able to defeat two foes but will also lose to two opponents.
