Muk-jji-ppa is a variant of the two-player game rock paper scissors. It originated in South Korea.

  1. The game starts with an ordinary game of rock paper scissors (가위바위보).
  2. Once someone wins, they become the attacker and the other player becomes the defender
  3. The two then rhythmically show either 묵 (muk), 찌 (jji) or 빠 (ppa).
  4. The attacker must shout their move each turn before they make it
  5. The game ends when either:

The defender plays the same move as the attacker, who wins

or

The attacker shouts a word which doesn't match the hand sign

묵 (muk)=Rock, 찌 (jji)=Scissors, 빠 (ppa)=Paper
