We are trying out this mixer that I got from The Source.  It’s yet another variation of paper, rock, scissors - but get this, you actually play paper, rock scissors. 

Actually, if we were Hindu, it’d be a great illustration of the caste system.

The goal of this game is to work your way up by beating other players at Rock-Scissors-Paper to the “position” of king or queen.

Everyone starts out as an egg. You find another egg and play Rock-Scissors-Paper. The winner “grows” into a chicken who finds another chicken to play against. Whoever wins “grows” into a dinosaur. The loser returns to being an egg.

Once a dinosaur you must find another dinosaur to play against. If you lose you step down to a chicken. The next step is becoming a prince or princess, which of course means playing against another prince or princess. If you win you become a King or Queen and stand off to the side. If you lose you return to a dinosaur. The game is played until there is one egg, chicken, dinosaur and prince. All other players will be kings or queens.

The fun in all this?: Eggs waddle on the ground in a little ball, chickens walk and squat while flapping their wings and “clicking”, dinosaurs “roar” standing up. Princes/princesses “prance” around holding an imaginary scepter while kings and queens stand off to the side victoriously.
