The gameplay is centered around a unique twist on the classic rock-paper-scissors mechanic, incorporating deck-building and probability elements that create engaging and strategic encounters.

“The gameplay is a deckbuilder twist on rock paper scissors, and you use your foresight to manipulate which cards you're most likely to draw next.”
“Beautiful short game with very simple, but still surprisingly deep mechanics revolving around rock-paper-scissors, deck building, and probability.”
“I would not have thought it would be possible to make a compelling game around rock-paper-scissors mechanics, but they do an impressive job of adding a bunch of interesting twists.”
“It's a novel idea, but very shallow; you've experienced the majority of the gameplay within 5 minutes and it doesn't get much deeper.”
“Unfortunately, I feel that the mechanic is not as well developed as it could be, since the prediction influences your choices and virtual rock-paper-scissors plus prediction takes away some of the nuances that RPS has in real life.”
“Gameplay is luck-based and the goal of the game is to manipulate luck in your favor, which seems like a good idea, and it is, but it still feels kind of bland.”
