Official Week of the Family Roshambo Rules:

2. You and your opponent should both count the strokes out loud.
3. On the third tap you and your opponent should both make or “throw” your characterizations of either ROCK, PAPER, or SCISSORS very distinctly, at the exact same time, so there is absolutely no mistake what you threw.
4. Winner is awarded 1 point for the winning throw. (Rock dulls/beats scissors, paper covers/beats rock, scissors cuts/beats paper.)
5. If you and your opponent “throw” the same character, no points are awarded--try again.
