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).[1]
  2. Once someone wins, they become the attacker and the other player becomes the defender[citation needed]
  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[2]

History

[edit]

The basic idea of Muj-jji-ppa is known to be originated from Japan after the victory of the Russo-Japanese war.[citation needed] The game it originated from, じゃんけん (janken), came from China around the 17th century. [3]
