Madventures has a habit of leaving all the important decisions to the old reliable game of rock, paper and scissors. The Cantonese people of China play their own version of this merrymaking called gosukumi. Here’s a quick index of rules to get you started.

The symbols are god, chicken, gun, fox, and termite. God is the thumb, chicken the index finger, gun the middle finger, fox the ring finger, and termite the little finger.

The sukumi relationships are as follows: with God and Chicken, chicken is sacrificed to god and thus loses. With God and Gun, the gun introduces people to god and thus God wins. The termite eats the God’s statue, as one does, and thus the termite wins.

Confused yet? Good!

The gun defeats the chicken. The fox defeats the chicken too. The chicken defeats the termite. Pretty self-explanatory!

The gun defeats the fox. Other than that, the god and the fox are bosom buddies, as are the gun and termite, and the fox and termite take no notice of each other, so these symbols tie with each other. So the god and the gun rule. And the chicken? Well, not so much.

And that’s all she wrote, really.

Protip: Gosukumi is simple and addictive! Now you have something to kill the time with the next time your stuck in a bus or your plane is forced to circle the airport.
