Games you only need your hands and other players to play.
We all know rock paper scissors, thumbwars and chopsticks but I’m looking for niche.
There’s many obscure or local ones that get passed down through generations or shared around the playground and I’d love to learn something new.
Reminds me of a game we learned from some south Asian students at my school called odd even.
It’s a 2 player game. First the players choose odd or even. They bump fists with one hsnd, and show a number at the same time. 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Their numbers are added up and the result is checked if it’s odd or even. Whoever called it right wins. But wait that’s not the actual game it’s just the deciding round. Like the coin toss before the soccer game
Whoever won the deciding round picks “bowling” or 'breaking". Whichever one they pick the other player is the other.
Both players bump fists and show a number(1-6 with only thumb being raised meaning 6) at the same time. The bowling player’s goal is to show the same number as the breaking player. If the numbers are different the value of the breaking player’s hand is added to their score(starts at 0) and players bump fist again and again until the bowling player calls it right. When they do the breaking player’s score is saved and players swap positions. They play one more game the same way with the new breaking player’s goal being to exceed the score of the original breaking player. If they do they win. If they’re stopped before that they lose.
